The dental team offers patients a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and sets aside plenty of time to understand each patient’s unique goals and concerns prior to developing a dental treatment and wellness plan. All patients have access to complete state-of-the-art preventive, cosmetic and restorative services, including diagnostic smile design, monitoring cavities and periodontal disease risks, short term braces and clear aligners, single-day tooth-colored crowns (provided with the CEREC® system), tooth whitening, and dental bonding with tooth-colored fillings and veneers.
They also offer a full-service Dental Hygiene Department that coaches and teaches an easy approach to effective plaque control, keeps your dental disease risks and susceptibility to a minimum, and effectively treats early-stage gum disease. We also offer a preventive care rinse program called “CariFree” that tests and treats decay susceptibility to help patients eliminate the risk of tooth decay. Regular oral cancer screenings are also performed as well as screenings for periodontal disease to help with early detection and prevention. New this year is an elective Wellness Coaching Program that helps patients chart a course for good health and well-being.
