Comprehensive, gentle care for every age.

Adult & pediatric dental exams

We perform a wide variety of exams and tests to address specific concerns, or complete comprehensive exams, for patients of all ages. We aim to educate patients about any areas of concern, discuss treatment options and their costs, and build a treatment plan developed specifically for each patient.

For our youngest patients, we recommend parents bring children in within six months of their first tooth erupting. We monitor their dental development, prepare them for what to expect, and show families how best to clean little teeth and prevent cavities and gum disease.

Gentle care for anxious adults & children

We welcome nervous adult and pediatric patients and work hard to create a comfortable, stress-free environment. There are TVs above each dental chair, and we take the time to walk you through each part of your exam and treatment at a pace that feels right for you.

Fillings & crowns

Fillings replace tooth structure damaged by decay (cavities), fractures or chips, or wear from grinding or acid. White or silver fillings can be placed depending on the situation.

Crowns cap over teeth to reduce the risk of fracture in weakened teeth — such as those with large fillings, root canals, or large chips or cracks. They can be made from porcelain, zirconia and/or metal.

Dental hygiene (cleanings)

Cleanings remove plaque, tartar and surface stains that cause yellowing, bad breath and diseases like cavities and gum disease. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that hardens into calculus (tartar); the bacteria produce acids and irritants that lead to gum disease.

Even with diligent brushing and flossing, plaque collects in hard-to-reach areas and hardens into calculus that requires professional cleaning to remove. Left to accumulate, it grows under the gums toward the bone, leading to bone loss that can cause recession, loose teeth and eventual tooth loss.

“But it doesn't hurt, so it can't be that bad, right?”

Gum disease usually does not cause pain until its later stages — by then, some irreversible damage may have occurred, and treatment can only preserve what is left. Regular exams and cleanings let us catch the early signs and treat them before permanent damage occurs. We monitor for gum disease, treat affected areas, and work with you on a personal oral-hygiene routine.
