Services
Teeth Cleaning
Our professional teeth cleaning service removes plaque and tartar buildup through scaling and polishing techniques. We perform thorough head and neck exams during each visit to detect early signs of oral health issues. The procedure includes personalized oral hygiene instruction to maintain dental health between visits.
Gum Disease Treatment
We offer comprehensive gum disease treatment including periodontal scaling and root planing. Our approach focuses on reducing pocket depths and preventing bone loss through targeted cleaning and patient education about home care routines.
Myofunctional Therapy
Specialized myofunctional therapy addresses improper tongue positioning and swallowing patterns. Our certified therapist provides customized exercise programs to correct oral habits and improve facial muscle function for better dental alignment and breathing.
Buteyko Breathing
This evidence-based breathing retraining method helps manage respiratory conditions through controlled breathing exercises. We teach patients proper nasal breathing techniques to improve oxygenation and reduce symptoms of asthma and sleep apnea.
Children's Dental Care
Our child-focused dental care includes preventative sealant application and early detection of oral development issues. We provide age-appropriate education to establish lifelong oral hygiene habits in a comfortable, welcoming environment.

I have been seeing Pina for at least the last ten years. She has not only provided me with incredible service, but has provided a warm and educating environment. Pina cares about your overall health and wellness, which separates her from the rest! Once I had children, there was no other option for their dental care. My entire family thanks you, Pina!
