Services
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services focus on maintaining optimal oral health through routine checkups, cleanings, and early detection of potential issues. Experienced dentists perform comprehensive evaluations, digital X-rays, and personalized hygiene plans to prevent decay and gum disease. Patients benefit from tailored advice on at-home care and dietary habits that support long-term dental wellness.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth using titanium posts fused with the jawbone. Our specialists employ advanced imaging technology to ensure precise placement and long-term stability. Patients regain natural chewing function and confidence in their smiles with customized crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Emergency Dentistry
We offer same-day treatment for dental emergencies like broken teeth, infections, and lost fillings. Equipped with diagnostic tools and pain management techniques, our team addresses acute issues promptly. Patients receive immediate relief and follow-up care plans to prevent future complications.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic services include teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding to improve smile aesthetics. Dentists use shade-matching technology and durable materials for natural-looking results. Patients achieve brighter, more symmetrical smiles that boost self-esteem and social confidence.
Orthodontics
Invisalign clear aligners and traditional braces correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. Custom treatment plans address crowding, spacing, and jaw positioning. Patients enjoy improved oral function, reduced wear on teeth, and enhanced facial symmetry through gradual, monitored adjustments.

I was received in an orderly manner following COVID restrictions and protocols after having signed in through a portal the day before. There was no delay in receiving me at the appointed time and I was ushered to the air sealed dental procedure room by the Assistant who set me up for the examination. The dental assistant (Mary) was kind, personable and competent. The dentist (Ela) was very skilled, kind and personable as well. My intake examination was thorough and I was shown the full results of the photos and x-rays that had been taken. Based on that visual evidence, further procedures were suggested

I recently moved to the city and Eastegate Dental was reccomended to me by a co-worker. Let me say, I have had LOTS of dental and orthodontic work in past starting at a very young age as I was fortunate enough my parents had benifets my entire life growing up. And as an adult now have my benifets as a union worker that fortunately they were able to direct Deposit.
Well, upon initial exam I had x rays done, one of them being on a neat 3D style machine. IF YOU HAVE INSURANCE CHECK YOUR INDUVIDUAL PLAN. Mine will only allow for that special 3D x ray style machine 1x/2yrs. However regular x rays
