Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. Our certified providers create customized treatment plans for moderate to severe alignment issues. The removable system allows normal eating and oral care while achieving results in about one year.
Botox Treatments
BOTOX injections treat TMJ disorders, chronic headaches, and facial tension while offering cosmetic benefits. Certified provider Dr. Rajapaksha administers treatments that may last 3-4 months with follow-up sessions. Dental-related BOTOX may qualify for partial insurance coverage.
Dental Implants
Implant dentistry replaces missing teeth with titanium screws that integrate with bone tissue. Dr. Pierce, with over 10 years of implant experience, performs placements with bone grafting and crown restorations for natural-looking, permanent solutions.
Dental Hygiene
Our hygiene services include professional cleanings, exams, and patient education using specialized tools. Experienced hygienists remove plaque and tartar while teaching proper techniques for maintaining optimal oral health at home.
Dental Sedation
Nitrous oxide sedation helps anxious patients relax during procedures. The laughing gas reduces gag reflexes and increases pain tolerance while allowing patients to remain awake and communicative throughout their treatment.

I have been dealing with bad TMJ problems for 13 years and no one has been ever to explain, treat and provide me with so much valid knowledge on this condition and help me move towards the right direction for a healthier me through her treatment plan like Dr. Ellis has. Her knowledge and intelligence is superior to any other dentist I have seen. She made me feel more educated, comfortable and hopeful. I highly highly recommend her she is worth the drive!

Amazing people here! All the way from the Reception to the Dentists! They are very helpful and understanding with concerns. Dr Pierce is so wonderful! I'm a big baby when it comes to anesthesia needles.... He was so gentle and caring! Also they work with you to make everything affordable and make sure you know what's covered with your personal health/dental coverage. One of the best dental experiences I've ever had and when you get 4 fillings done at one time and have no pain after that's a pretty great appointment/experience id say! For anyone looking for a new dentist I highly recommend this
