Cleanings And Exams
Regular cleanings and exams prevent dental issues through plaque removal and early detection. Our hygienists use advanced tools to maintain oral health while educating patients on proper care techniques. This foundational service ensures long-term dental wellness for all ages.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
We specialize in safe wisdom teeth extractions to prevent alignment issues and infections. Using precise techniques, we minimize discomfort and promote quick recovery. Early intervention helps avoid complications from impacted or misaligned molars.

Our root canal procedures eliminate infection from tooth pulp while preserving natural teeth. Advanced methods reduce pain and recovery time, addressing decay-related nerve damage with lasting results to maintain oral functionality.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Custom oral devices improve sleep quality by addressing breathing obstructions. We create personalized solutions to reduce snoring and daytime fatigue, enhancing overall health through non-invasive dental interventions.

The whole experience of visiting the office for last-minute emergency dental work was amazing. The front desk staff were easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to get me in. The dentist Dr. Brad Watson was professional and confident with his work and solved the problem quickly and efficiently. I definitely recommend this Dental Office.

Downtown Dental is great. Caring, professional staff as well as being very current for equipment and procedures. Dr. Lotey is great. His chair side manner is exactly what you hope for. Cares about informing his patients each step of any treatment and ready to answer questions. Im always comfortable.

Amazing service, wonderful staff, and all around talented and professional care team. Even in times of pandemic, the team at Downtown Dental go out of their way to make you feel extra safe and comfortable. I have had a lot of trouble with dentists since moving to the mid-Island, but Downtown Dental has done so much to help resolve my issues. Typically I am not a fan of dentists - fearful, in fact - but it is always a good experience when I go there. Really happy to finally have a great dentist.
