Services
Dental Cleaning
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and calculus buildup through scaling and polishing techniques. Our hygienists use specialized instruments to clean below the gumline and polish teeth to prevent periodontal disease. Regular cleanings help maintain oral health and detect early signs of dental issues, making them essential for preventing tooth decay and gum disease.
Teeth Whitening
Our take-home whitening treatments use professional-grade materials for safe, effective results. Options include custom Philips Zoom trays worn 2-4 hours daily or prefilled Opalescence Go trays used 15-20 minutes daily. These treatments address discoloration from aging, diet, or tobacco use while preserving tooth enamel integrity through dentist-supervised care.
CEREC Crowns
CEREC technology enables single-visit crown fabrication using digital impressions and precision milling. This eliminates temporary crowns while providing durable ceramic restorations matched to natural tooth color. The process preserves more healthy tooth structure compared to traditional crowns through minimally invasive preparation techniques.
TMJ Treatment
We address temporomandibular joint disorders through custom oral appliances and bite analysis. Treatments include night guards to prevent bruxism damage and orthotics to realign jaw positioning. Our approach reduces headaches, jaw pain, and tooth wear while improving joint function through non-invasive, personalized care plans.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses 3D-scanned aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. Patients receive new aligners every two weeks for 6-18 months, with options for removable trays during eating and cleaning. The iTero scanner ensures precise digital impressions for customized, comfortable tooth movement planning.
