Oral Health Oral Cancer - Oral cancer, which claims the lives of 8,000 Americans each year, is painless, sneaky, and often undetected until it has spread to the neck and lymph nodes. If oral cancer is detected in the early stage, patients are more likely to survive. Our office screens for oral cancer at every check up. Oral Health - It makes perfect sense: poor oral health is linked to poor physical health. Avoid risk factors for oral health problems, and you may prevent health problems throughout your body. Oral Health & Heart - Believe it or not, how you take care of your teeth affects not only your oral health, but may well affect your heart health, too.

Veneers - Are you tired of your worn, damaged, or discolored smile? Do you wish your smile were straight and brilliant? Do you watch television and flip through magazines dreaming about a smile as beautiful as the smiles on models and stars? Wish no more! Your dream smile can become reality in as few as two dental visits with custom-made porcelain veneers.

Invisalign® - If you want straighter teeth without bulky metal braces, consider Invisalign®. A series of clear, removable aligners will reposition your teeth without the hassle and pain of traditional orthodontia.

Lumineers - Are you hesitant about porcelain veneers because of the necessary tooth reduction prior to placement? Lumineers require minimal, if any, tooth reduction, and they accomplish the same bright, full, straight smile that traditional veneers create.

Eating - If you think an unhealthy diet increases the risk of becoming overweight, reduces energy, and weakens bones, you’re right. But poor eating habits also affect oral health. Do you want to reduce the time you spend in a dentist’s chair each year?

Mouthguards - The small expense of a comfortable mouthguard could save your smile from permanent damage. The ADA recommends mouthguards for an array of sports, from football and hockey to gymnastics and bicycle riding.

Bruxism - Some patients react to stress by grinding their teeth unconsciously during the day or, more commonly, while sleeping. The constant pressure and motion can harm teeth, as well as muscles and tissues in and around the jaw. This condition, known as bruxism, can be remedied with a nightguard.

Pain - Nerves in your mouth and jaw function differently than nerves in other parts of your body. One small dental problem can cause pain in a large area. Learn why dental pain is unique and how to get to the root of oral pain problems.

Sensitive Teeth - Tooth enamel protects the porous underlying layer called dentin, and the tooth pulp, which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. Damaged or worn tooth enamel can cause sensitivity to pressure and temperature. We can help relieve the pain of tooth sensitivity.

Adult Tooth Decay - There is a common and stealthy enemy that knows precisely how to destroy your enamel: tooth decay. Adults have much to be concerned about with tooth decay, for many reasons.

Brushing - You probably brush daily, and you may even floss your teeth, but did you know that proper dental homecare can protect you from pain, cavities, and potential overall health problems, including cardiovascular disease and stroke?

Flossing - You may not realize that even when your mouth is clean, bacteria lurk in the warm, damp cave, growing and eating incessantly. An extra two or three minutes spent flossing each day can give you a huge advantage in the war against those bad bacteria.

Crowns - Crowns can restore tooth shape, structure, strength, and function. Many materials are used for crowns, so how can you know which is best?

Composite Resins - If cavities or dark fillings in your teeth keep you from smiling, consider composite resin fillings. By maintaining your natural tooth color with composite resin fillings, you can smile with confidence.

Sealants - Available for children and adults, dental sealants cover teeth to prevent cavities. Sealants fill the deep pits and grooves where bacteria and food particles hide.

Mild Oral Sedation - Among the most common phobias, visiting the dentist causes many people severe anxiety and stress. Mild oral sedation alleviates anxiety, so you can face dental appointments with confidence.

Periodontal Therapies - When periodontal disease is not treated, it will spread and compromise gums, teeth, bone, and it can lead to heart disease and strokes, as well as diabetes and pregnancy complications. Many treatments can reverse the effects of gum disease and restore oral health.

Root Canal - You’d rather have a root canal! Root canal therapy is nothing like it used to be. Many patients even take a nap during root canal therapy.

Fixed Bridges - If you’ve lost teeth due to accident, injury, or gum disease, we can create a fixed bridge to restore your solid smile.

Dental Implants - If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants will improve your smile and your lifestyle. Dental implants look, feel, and function like strong, natural teeth because of a titanium anchor attached to the jawbone.

Mini-Implant Dentures - Placing mini implants, a one-step procedure that involves minimally-invasive surgery, can offer patients increased denture stability.

Wisdom Teeth - Uncovering the foolishness of wisdom teeth, and how to intelligently deal with them, doesn’t take a genius.

Technology Digital Imaging - This computer-based digital technology allows your dentist to create true-to-life photographs of your very own mouth, as if the recommended procedures had already been completed. Intraoral Cameras - People seldom have a clear idea of the actual status of their dental health. Even with lights and mirrors, a patient can’t see what the dentist can – that is, until now.
