Comprehensive Care for Healthy Smiles
Teeth Cleaning & Exams
Regular dental exams are an important part of preventive health care. During a dental exam, the dentist or hygienist will clean your teeth and check for cavities and gum disease.
Digital X-Rays
Similar to traditional dental X-rays that use film, your dentist inserts a sensor into your mouth to capture digital radiography images of your teeth. They are available instantly.
Fillings, Extractions & Root Canals
Root canals and tooth extractions are procedures dentists can use to treat teeth that are damaged or infected in some way.
Crowns & Bridges
Bridges and crowns are fixed prosthetic devices that are cemented onto existing teeth or implants by a dentist. Crowns are used to entirely cover or “cap” a damaged tooth or cover an implant.
Other Services Include
Teeth whitening is not a medical procedure but it can result in whiter teeth and a brighter smile. This in turn can make people feel better about themselves.
Velscope Oral Cancer Screenings: Head and neck cancer, including oral cancer, cancer of the larynx, and cancer of the pharynx, is the sixth most common type of cancer worldwide.
