Services
Dental Cleanings
Dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent gum disease and cavities. Our hygienists use advanced tools like DIAGNOdent and digital X-rays for thorough assessments. Regular cleanings also help maintain overall health by reducing bacteria linked to systemic conditions.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. The process includes 3D scanning and SmileView simulations for predictable results. Aligners are removable, allowing normal eating and oral hygiene during treatment.
Oral Sedation
Conscious oral sedation helps anxious patients relax during procedures. A pre-appointment consultation ensures eligibility, and patients require a driver. The sedative induces drowsiness while maintaining awareness for communication.
Dental Crowns
Crowns restore damaged or decayed teeth with durable ceramic caps. The two-visit process includes temporary placement while custom crowns are fabricated. They protect teeth post-root canals or extensive decay.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canals treat infected tooth pulp caused by decay or trauma. The procedure removes infected tissue, cleans the canal, and seals it to prevent reinfection. A crown is typically needed afterward for structural support.
