Sedation Dentistry
Our sedation options help patients overcome dental anxiety through tailored techniques like oral sedation, nitrous oxide, and IV sedation. These methods ensure a relaxed, pain-free experience during procedures ranging from cleanings to complex surgeries. Our trained professionals monitor patients closely to maintain safety and comfort.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. Using titanium posts anchored in the jawbone, we create stable foundations for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This treatment prevents bone loss and supports natural-looking, durable results.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services deliver fast, effective results for stained or discolored teeth. Options include in-office treatments, custom take-home kits, and veneers for severe discoloration. These methods safely lighten enamel while minimizing sensitivity for long-lasting brightness.
Root Canals
Root canal treatment alleviates pain caused by infected or damaged tooth pulp. Using advanced techniques, we remove inflamed tissue, clean the root canal, and seal it to preserve the natural tooth. Most procedures are completed in one visit with minimal discomfort.
Porcelain Veneers
Custom-crafted veneers address chipped, stained, or misaligned teeth through thin porcelain shells bonded to the tooth surface. This cosmetic solution offers a natural appearance while resisting stains and maintaining durability for long-term smile transformation.

What dental care practices should I follow at home?
Brush twice daily, floss regularly, limit sugar intake, and attend routine checkups to maintain optimal oral health.
How can I make my teeth whiter?
Professional whitening treatments, including in-office sessions and custom take-home kits, effectively brighten discolored teeth.

Flossing removes plaque between teeth that brushing misses, preventing tartar buildup and gum disease.

Implants require healthy bone structure. We'll assess your oral health to determine candidacy during a consultation.

Had to get a cleaning and some fillings done after a long delayed dentist visit due to terrible dental anxiety. The staff (Denise especially) were so understanding and sweet, they did everything to make me comfortable. The fillings appointment went very smoothly and they gave me nitrous to make the procedure bearable. Can't thank Dr. Luksay and the team enough for taking great care of me!

I just wanted to pass on my families appreciation for the exceptional service at Riverway Dental. We have been with Riverway Dental for a few years now and each and every time it is a flawless, 10 out of 10, top tier experience. From the admin staff, to the hygienists (Denise and Anna), and last but not least Dr. LUKSAY, the service is fantastic throughout. For what has been a unique year, we have always felt safe and well cared for. Additionally, the care provided to our 4 and 7 years olds have solidified a healthy and positive experience at the dental office - not an easy feat ! For the beautiful

Dr. Luksay and his staff at Riverway Dental are a very professional, yet warm and friendly. Their clinic is modern, clean, and much nicer than other dental clinics I've been to. Dr. Luksay makes you feel very comfortable and confident that your dental needs are in good hands. There are many other dental clinics in town, but I can assure you that you won't regret choosing Riverway if you're looking for a new dentist.

I have been visiting Dr Luksay and staff since about 2007. I have had alot of dental work done over the years and it's always done with efficiency, care and the most up to date technology.

Every time I've been to the office I've been met with friendly and professional staff. I had IV sedation with Dr. Luksay and everything went smoothly. Dr. Luksay followed up with me the next day to make sure everything was ok. I then came back for a bite adjustment @ no charge. Thank you for your great work and professionalism.
