Services
Root Canal
Root canal therapy preserves natural teeth affected by infection or damage. We use modern techniques with local anesthesia and optional nitrous oxide sedation for comfort. The procedure removes infected pulp, cleans root canals, and seals the tooth for long-term function.
Dentures
Custom-fit dentures restore chewing function and natural appearance. We offer conventional and immediate dentures with acrylic bases matching natural teeth. Our process includes precise facial measurements for optimal fit and aesthetics.
Sleep Apnea
Dental sleep medicine addresses obstructive sleep apnea through oral appliance therapy. We provide custom mouthpieces that maintain airway patency during sleep, offering alternatives to CPAP machines for improved breathing patterns.
TMJ Therapy
TMJ disorder management includes custom oral appliances and muscle therapy. We diagnose jaw joint issues using clinical evaluation and imaging, providing NTI devices to prevent bruxism and alleviate associated headaches.
Teeth Whitening
Professional in-office whitening uses high-strength agents for dramatic results in one visit. We offer Venus Diamond take-home kits with custom trays for maintenance, safely removing deep stains while protecting enamel integrity.
