Services
Dental Implants
Our dental implant services provide permanent solutions for missing teeth using titanium posts that fuse with jawbone tissue. This restorative treatment improves chewing function while preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure. Patients receive customized treatment plans with 3D imaging technology to ensure optimal placement and long-term success.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using removable, transparent aligners that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. Our Diamond+ level orthodontist creates personalized treatment plans with digital imaging to track progress and ensure precise tooth movement without traditional metal braces.
Same-Day Restorations
CEREC technology enables us to create and place ceramic crowns, veneers, and inlays/onlays in a single appointment. Using digital impressions and in-office milling machines, we eliminate the need for temporary restorations while preserving more natural tooth structure during the restoration process.
Gum Therapy
We treat all stages of gum disease through scaling and root planing, laser therapy, and surgical interventions like gum grafts. Our periodontal treatments focus on eliminating infection, reducing pocket depths, and restoring gum health to prevent tooth loss and systemic health complications.
Children's Dentistry
Our child-friendly dental services include preventive care, sealants, and trauma treatment tailored to young patients' needs. The team creates positive experiences through gentle techniques and educational approaches that establish lifelong oral hygiene habits in a welcoming environment.

The staff are friendly and professional, and the building is nice and new. However, attempting to attend my latest appointment out of my two total that I booked months in advance would prove difficult. I had confirmation of the appointment via email and text messages days prior. When I arrived, I was told they could not find my appointment in their calendar as it had somehow vanished into thin air.

Remarkable experience and support from Dr Bicknell, and all of his staff today. I am visiting from out of town and had a dental emergency with a veneer falling off. I was already anxious and worried another dentist might not want to fix work they didnt do. I called Dr Bicknells emergency line at 7:00 AM. He was quick to answer and provided comfort support immediately that he was here to help me. He fit me in first thing as his clinic opened. The front staff were kind, warm and welcoming. The dental hygienist was also warm, welcoming and very supportive of my situation. She was extremely knowledgeable
