Services
Teeth Scaling
Professional teeth scaling removes plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gumline using hand instruments or ultrasonic devices. This preventive service combats gingivitis and periodontitis by eliminating bacteria-causing deposits. Patients receive personalized scaling intervals based on oral health needs, ensuring optimal gum health and disease prevention through thorough, gentle care.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and reverse early signs of decay through remineralization. Applied as foam trays or rinse, this service benefits patients with cavity risks or sensitive teeth. The quick, painless procedure creates a protective barrier against acid attacks, preserving dental health while requiring no downtime for immediate eating or drinking.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants apply a clear acrylic coating to back teeth chewing surfaces, blocking bacteria from grooves where brushes can't reach. This non-invasive service protects children's permanent molars without freezing. At $20 per tooth, sealants offer cost-effective, long-lasting defense against decay in vulnerable areas, maintaining oral health through simple preventive action.
Sports Mouthguards
Custom sports mouthguards mold precisely to teeth and gums using dental impressions, providing superior impact absorption during contact activities. Available in multiple colors for $50, these guards prevent dental trauma, jaw fractures, and concussions. The fabrication process ensures comfortable, secure fit for athletes of all ages engaging in high-risk sports.
Tooth Whitening
Tooth whitening offers in-office or at-home solutions using custom trays and professional-grade gel. The $350 in-office system delivers immediate results, while $225 home kits allow gradual whitening over weeks. Both methods safely lighten natural teeth, though restorations remain unaffected. Refill kits at $55 maintain long-term brightness after initial treatment completion.

Better than a cleaning at a dentist. A no B.S. honest experience with top notch care. And the best Covid-19 hygienic standards I've seen.
