Services
Family Dentistry
Our family dentistry services provide comprehensive oral care for all ages. We focus on preventive treatments like cleanings, exams, and fluoride applications while addressing developmental needs for children and specialized care for seniors. Our team creates customized hygiene plans to maintain optimal oral health through every life stage, emphasizing early detection of potential issues and education on proper home care techniques.
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium screw placement in the jawbone. This procedure restores natural chewing function and prevents bone loss while providing stable support for crowns or dentures. Our implant specialists use advanced imaging technology for precise placement, ensuring long-term success and natural aesthetics that blend seamlessly with existing teeth.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using custom-made, removable clear aligners. This orthodontic solution addresses crowding, spacing, and bite issues without traditional metal braces. Our certified providers create personalized treatment plans using 3D imaging technology, allowing patients to visualize results before starting treatment while maintaining normal eating and oral hygiene routines throughout the process.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles through porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and smile makeovers. These treatments address discoloration, chips, gaps, and misshapen teeth while improving overall facial aesthetics. We combine artistic skill with advanced materials to create natural-looking results that enhance confidence while maintaining proper dental function and bite alignment.
Full Mouth Restoration
Full mouth restoration addresses extensive dental damage through coordinated treatments like crowns, bridges, and implants. This approach rebuilds oral function and aesthetics for patients with severe wear, trauma, or congenital defects. Our team develops multi-phase treatment plans that may include periodontal therapy, endodontic treatment, and physiologic dentistry to restore proper bite mechanics and long-term oral health.

Ive been a patient at Westwood Dental for 17 years. From fillings, hygiene appointments, and wisdom teeth extractions- all my experiences have been comfortable and professional. I trust in Westwood Dental and thank them for caring for me all these years and will be continuing for many more.

I have never had more negative experiences at one dentist's office in my life. I believe WD replaces fillings unnecessarily. Last year I went to an expensive holistic dentist across town to have multiple mercury fillings removed for myself and my fianc. The lead dentist there assured a 20-30yr lifespan for these fillings. 8 months later I was told at WD that there was a 'leak' in one of those fillings I'd received and recommended they replace it. They did, and as a result of the filling being a replacement of work done less than 1 year before, my insurance wouldn't cover the cost and on top of

I recently had my first visit here with Susie (my hygienist) and Dr Sidiura. I could not be more pleased with my experience. Susie was patient, pleasant and she even sings when she cleans your teeth! She gave excellent answers to all of my questions and you can tell she has a passion for her profession and patients.
Dr Sidiura was very kind, and answered my questions very throughly. I really appreciated the photos they took of my teeth to show me what was going on in my mouth. They also caught some issues that I was unaware of and very helpful when I asked for tips on how to manage them.
