TMJ Treatment
Our non-surgical TMJ treatments address chronic jaw pain, headaches, and clicking through customized orthotics and neuromuscular dentistry. Using advanced diagnostics, we realign jaw joints to alleviate discomfort and restore function. Patients experience lasting relief from symptoms like migraines and facial pain, with tailored care plans developed over decades of specialized practice.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers transform smiles by correcting chips, stains, and gaps in two visits. These durable, natural-looking restorations are bonded to teeth for a permanent solution. Our practice provides before-and-after visualizations to ensure alignment with patient expectations, focusing on aesthetics and bite functionality.
CEREC Restorations
CEREC technology enables same-day crowns, inlays, and onlays using 3D imaging and precision milling. This eliminates the need for temporary restorations and multiple visits. Patients receive durable, color-matched porcelain restorations in a single appointment, preserving natural tooth structure with minimal preparation.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly with removable, custom aligners worn for 12 weeks per set. Treatment lasts 618 months, with progress monitored through periodic checkups. Ideal for correcting crowding and spacing while maintaining oral hygiene, this option suits adults and teens seeking aesthetic orthodontics.
Zoom Whitening
Zoom Whitening lightens teeth up to eight shades in under an hour using LED-activated gel. The in-office procedure includes gum protection and post-treatment fluoride application to reduce sensitivity. Take-home trays are available for maintenance, with results lasting up to a year under proper care.
