Services
CEREC Same Day Crowns
Our CEREC technology creates durable ceramic crowns in one visit using CAD/CAM design. This eliminates multiple appointments while maintaining precision fit. Patients benefit from immediate restoration of damaged teeth with natural-looking results. The process utilizes digital impressions for enhanced comfort and accuracy.
Botox for TMD
We provide targeted Botox injections to alleviate temporomandibular joint disorders. This non-invasive treatment reduces jaw pain, headaches, and muscle tension. The procedure takes 15-20 minutes with visible results within days. Patients report significant improvement in comfort and jaw function after treatment sessions.
Dental Implants
Our implant restoration services replace missing teeth with titanium-rooted solutions that mimic natural teeth. We offer single implants, bridges, or dentures secured by implants for improved function and aesthetics. The process includes digital planning software for precise placement and long-term success with proper maintenance.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly using removable clear aligners. Custom treatment plans gradually shift teeth into proper alignment without traditional braces. Patients visit monthly for progress checks and receive new aligners every 1-2 weeks. The system effectively treats mild to moderate orthodontic issues with enhanced comfort.
Dental Sealants
We apply protective resin coatings to back teeth chewing surfaces to prevent decay. The quick, painless procedure fills grooves where bacteria accumulate. Sealants typically last 2-3 years and provide excellent cavity prevention for children and adults with deep tooth fissures requiring additional protection.
