General Dentistry
Helping our patients maintain a healthy mouth and smile is the main goal of general dentistry.

We want to ensure that your oral health is in its optimal state and positively contributing to the health of your entire body. We are here to brighten your smile and pave the way for a brighter life.
Fillings
Composite fillings act as a dentistry solution for problems such as tooth decay or cracks. A composite filling is a tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture used to restore decayed teeth. This procedure is also utilized for cosmetic improvements of the smile by fixing any discoloration or reshaping any disfigured teeth.
Extractions
An extraction is performed to remove a tooth, whether because of disease, crowding, or damage. When extractions are required, the area around the tooth will be numbed and your dentist will remove the tooth. A small amount of bleeding is normal, as your mouth will replace the removed tooth root by forming a blood clot in the area.

Comprehensive Exams
Usually performed during dental cleanings, a comprehensive exam allows the dentist to assess and analyze your overall oral health and hygiene. It involves a complete and thorough patient examination covering everything from pre-existing conditions, gum health, even screenings, and diagnostic exams to guarantee optimal oral health.Oral health offers your dentist insight into the overall health of your body, so dental check-ups are a must for complete full-body health.
Cleanings
Dental cleanings are procedures that should be completed every 6 months by a dental hygienist or other dental professional. This process takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. The procedure involves tooth and gum examination, scaling and polishing. After your cleaning is done the dentist will come in and look over your teeth and discuss the issues found (if any) and what treatments are possible to correct the problems.
Kid's Dentistry
Starting your child off with proper oral hygiene is crucial for the life and health of their teeth, mouth and gums. It is recommended that children go to the dentist within 6 months of their first tooth or around the time they turn one. We teach proper oral care and encourage your child to brush and floss and take care of their teeth and gums. As children we will also be able to notice any developmental differences that may be forming and help to stop or prevent those differences from causing issues.
Screenings
Typically performed during your bi-yearly teeth cleanings, oral cancer screenings are necessary to help stop oral cancer before it becomes untreatable. Screenings involve the dentist looking for bumps, discoloration, swelling, ulcerations or other abnormalities. Screenings may be recommended more often if you have a history of oral or lip cancer, if your alcohol intake is more than average or if you use tobacco products like cigarettes, cigars or chewing tobacco
