Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Regular checkups and cleanings at least every six months are the cornerstone of preventive care. During your visit, we'll examine your teeth and gums for any signs of concern, review your X-rays, and answer any questions you might have. Our hygiene team will then remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing alone can't address, leaving your teeth clean and polished.
Children’s Dentistry
We’re more than happy to treat your whole family and welcome patients ages 15 and up. Getting teenagers into good habits early makes an enormous difference in their long-term oral health. Whether it's their first time seeing a dentist in a while, or they're just due for a cleaning, we take the time to explain what we're doing, answer questions, and help young patients feel at ease in the chair.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a smart, proactive step for patients who want to give their teeth an extra layer of defense against cavities. The chewing surfaces of the back teeth are full of tiny grooves and pits that are notoriously difficult to keep clean, even with thorough brushing. Dental sealants are a thin protective coating applied to these surfaces, creating a smooth barrier that keeps food and bacteria from becoming trapped. Plus, the application process is very quick and comfortable.
Custom Mouthguards/ Retainers
We can have fully custom athletic mouthguards and orthodontic retainers made for you quickly and easily. Our mouthguards are sure to stay securely in place, fit comfortably, and offer reliable defense from sports-related impacts and injuries. Low profile retainers maintain your results after orthodontics and are specially designed with a low profile, giving them a subtle appearance while ensuring they do not interfere with speech
Nightguards for Bruxism
Grinding or clenching your teeth at night, which is a condition known as bruxism, can put massive stress on your teeth, jaw, and surrounding muscles over time. Many people aren't even aware they're doing it until wear, sensitivity, or discomfort starts to show up. A custom nightguard provided by our office creates a comfortable cushion between your upper and lower teeth while you sleep, absorbing that force and protecting your enamel from damage.
Botox® for Bruxism
While Botox is best known for its ability to smooth facial wrinkles, it can also provide immediate relief from jaw and facial pain due to grinding. It calms the muscles responsible for clenching, taking pressure off the teeth while allowing the face to relax and heal. This can help a patient feel comfortable while we create a more long-term solution.
