Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles through porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and smile makeovers. We combine aesthetic artistry with restorative techniques to address discoloration, misalignment, and dental imperfections. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans that enhance both appearance and oral health while using advanced materials for natural-looking results.
General Dentistry
We provide comprehensive general dentistry including exams, cleanings, and oral cancer screenings using digital imaging and diagnostic technology. Our preventive approach focuses on early detection and maintenance through regular checkups, fluoride treatments, and patient education about proper oral hygiene practices for long-term dental health.
Restorative Dentistry
Our restorative services address dental damage and tooth loss through fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures. We use durable materials to repair structural damage, replace missing teeth, and restore proper bite function while maintaining aesthetic appeal through natural-looking restorations that blend with existing teeth.
Dental Implants
Dr. Demewoz places and restores dental implants using titanium posts that integrate with jawbone tissue for permanent tooth replacement. This solution prevents bone loss, stabilizes adjacent teeth, and provides natural chewing functionality while offering mini-implant and implant-retained denture options for different patient needs.
Adult Orthodontics
We offer discreet adult orthodontic solutions including Invisalign clear aligners, Six Month Smiles, and ClearSmile Aligners. These treatments correct misalignment issues that affect oral health and aesthetics while providing comfortable, nearly invisible alternatives to traditional metal braces for patients seeking improved dental alignment.
