Whether you need a smile makeover or a hygiene appointment, our experienced team and I look forward to meeting you and assisting with any dental concerns you may have.
When you have a tooth that really hurts, going to your dentist is high on your priority list, so I called Dr. Pratt's office and made an appointment for an X-ray. The tooth was abscessed. Dr. Pratt prescribed medication, did a root canal and put in a temporary crown. In a few days I will receive my new crown and the dental procedure will be complete.
Thank you to Dr. Pratt and his staff for a job well done and for taking such good care of me.

Our Philosophy
Report
Many have asked why I do certain things one way over another.
While there are many ways to meet your dental needs, my goal is to accomplish those needs with the most modern and up to date methods and materials.
There are four main guidelines I follow while considering your oral health.
Dental work should look like it grew there.
Because much controversy surrounds the use of silver, amalgam fillings (mercury, fracture lines, leaky margins) - I do not offer them.
White composite fillings are exceptional treatment options as well as other glass ionomer resins, porcelain, and gold.

Periodontal Treatment
Report
For major surgery, we refer to a specialist.
For limited gum tissue removal, tongue-tied dilemmas, and high smile lines that appear "gummy" - we offer in office treatment.
Often the orthodontist will refer a patient to us to remove tissue between the upper front teeth to allow for adequate tooth movement.
In addition, your hygienist may recommend more profound cleanings to aid in the health of the very tissue support that keep your teeth bright.

Crowns and Bridges
Report
When decay gets too big to support a standard filling, crowns are needed.
Other reasons for crowns are fractured teeth and root canals.
Anytime a tooth cannot support a standard filling without the risk of fracture, a crown is necessary.
Like a small twig void of vital sap, a tooth without the vital pulp becomes brittle.
Therefore, root canal teeth are recommended to be crowned.
Bridges are simply crowns fused together to span a gap where a tooth is missing or has been removed.
Crowns and bridges are great treatment options to maintain the health and appearance of your smile.

Gum Recession Treatment
Report
Gum recession refers to the loss of gum tissue along the gumline.
This can occur as a result of periodontal disease (gingivitis, periodontitis, advanced periodontitis), the natural aging process, or abrasive habits when it comes to brushing the teeth.
The Chao Pinhole(R) Surgical Technique is a minimally invasive option for treating gum recession.
Unlike traditional grafting techniques, PST is incision and suture free.
All of the tools and techniques used to perform the Chao Pinhole(R) Surgical Technique were created by Dr. John Chao, and who trained our doctor.
