Services
Fillings
Our mercury-free composite fillings restore damaged teeth while maintaining natural aesthetics. We replace old silver fillings with durable, tooth-colored restorations that strengthen weakened structures. The procedure involves removing decay, cleaning the affected area, and applying bonding material for lasting results. Patients benefit from improved tooth strength and reduced sensitivity compared to traditional metal fillings.
Teeth Cleaning
Professional cleanings remove plaque buildup and prevent gum disease through thorough scaling and polishing. Our hygienists perform routine prophylaxis every six months or more frequently for periodontal patients. The process includes tartar removal, fluoride treatment, and oral health education to maintain optimal dental hygiene between visits.
Root Canals
We perform root canal treatments to save infected or damaged teeth using advanced techniques. The procedure involves removing inflamed pulp tissue, cleaning root canals, and sealing the space to prevent reinfection. Most treatments complete in one or two visits with local anesthesia and optional nitrous oxide sedation for patient comfort.
Dental Implants
Our implant services provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that mimic natural teeth function and appearance. The process involves surgical placement of titanium posts into the jawbone followed by crown attachment after osseointegration. This two-stage procedure restores chewing ability and prevents bone loss associated with missing teeth.
Emergencies
We prioritize emergency dental care for urgent situations like knocked-out teeth or severe pain. Our team provides immediate treatment for trauma cases, including reimplantation of avulsed teeth and temporary stabilization measures. Patients receive same-day appointments for acute dental issues requiring prompt attention.
