Family Dentistry
Our family dentistry practice provides comprehensive preventative and routine care for patients of all ages. We focus on education and early intervention to maintain optimal oral health. Services include cleanings, exams, and pediatric dental care in a welcoming environment designed to make visits comfortable for both children and adults.
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium post placement and crown restoration. This procedure restores both function and aesthetics while preventing bone loss. Our team uses advanced imaging technology to ensure precise implant placement and long-term success.
Smile Enhancement
Smile enhancement services transform dental aesthetics through veneers, whitening, and restorative treatments. We address discoloration, misalignment, and imperfections to create natural-looking results. Our approach combines artistry with technical precision to help patients achieve confidence-boosting smiles tailored to their facial features.
Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatments correct misaligned teeth and bite issues using traditional braces and modern appliances. We offer solutions for both children and adults, focusing on improving dental function while enhancing appearance. Treatment plans address crowding, spacing, and jaw alignment problems through gradual tooth movement.
TMJ Treatment
TMJ treatment addresses temporomandibular joint disorders causing pain and dysfunction. We provide customized solutions including bite appliances, physical therapy, and pain management techniques. Our approach focuses on restoring proper jaw function while alleviating symptoms like headaches and facial discomfort through non-invasive methods.

We are truly blessed to have this dental office. For anyone nervous or uncomfortable at all going to the dentist, this is the cure. The office staff is so professional and polite I honestly have to comment to them every time I visit just how fond of them all I am. I spent the first 30 years of my life fainting at the THOUGHT of going to the dentist because of previous traumatic experiences with other dentists. After ONE trip to Doctor MacDonald my lifelong fear has been cured. She has more skill and experience than any dentist alive today. Her friendly demeanor, confidence and skill was so calming

Great dentists, wonderful assistants and staff, excellent dental work, friendly, patient and informative. No wait times, and we usually get in early if we arrive before our appointment time. It also does not take long to get an appointment. They are also fantastic with children, and they have made visiting the dentist a positive experience for my son. I highly recommend First Street Dental!

I am new to this dental office. I have had some checkups and fillings as well as a cleaning. I was thoroughly impressed. The office staff are kind and courteous and Dr Power is a great dentist. They are timely and provide you with great advice and work. I don't feel like they are looking for money but actually care about you and your oral health.

Office manager was able to correct the miscommunication. Had a wonderful chat with her and realized that it was not an issue of taking something from me, but rather saving me another freezing and my time. They did a wonderful job in correcting this issue and I will say thou I was very angry with Dr Power I do believe he is a good dentist and I really hated the thought of finding someone else, I felt he was very concerned with my care and really did want the best for me. I would have to say Im very happy this was resolved as I think First St Dental have their patients best interest in mind at all
