-
Esthetic Crown and Bridge work - Matching nature has become much easier with the modern materials and techniques available to us now. Empress and other restorations can now be made that are completely metal free. One new type of bridge, the Encore bridge, requires minimal preparation of the adjacent (retaining) teeth. Our new lava crowns are also metal free and provide the ultimate esthetic for any smile. On the other hand, should you choose gold restorations, we also do beautiful gold work.
-
Endodontic (Root canal) therapy - Using modern titanium rotary instrumentation has made this type of treatment fast, easy and painless. Seriously!
-
"Drilless fillings” - On certain types of cavities, we are able to use an Air Abrasion system that cleans out the decay painlessly without the need for any anesthetic (shots). It’s nice to hear our patients say, “Was that it?” after the short, easy procedure.
-
Full and Partial Dentures - While our goal is to prevent the need for these services, we can make natural looking dentures that will defy anyone guessing that you wear them. New materials allow us to make partials with clasps that virtually disappear. Precision attachments can make partials more comfortable and invisible than ever before.
-
Periodontal (gum) Therapy - The basis for good oral health are the health of the gums, their attachment apparatus and the underlying bone. As statistics show, 80% of adults have some form of gum disease. Our goal is early diagnosis and treatment, in some cases combined with localized antibiotic therapy, that will allow you to keep your teeth for a lifetime. We will come up with a home care regimen for you and set up an appropriate recare interval with our office. Should the problem be more serious, we will refer you to a well qualified specialist. According to a recent study, the number of teeth you have is the single most diagnostic aid in determining your risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Let’s keep those teeth and gums healthy!
-
Oral Cancer Exams - Oral cancer screenings are performed each examination with the dentists. These exams can be the best form of prevention.

Insurance and Financing
-
Insurance Billing - We bill your insurance for you and accept assignment of payment. We do , however, ask that you make your estimated co-payment at the time of service. We do not provide treatment on the basis of what we think your insurance will pay for, rather on what we know is in your best interest in the long run. Sometimes the least expensive alternative is not the best long term value!
-
Payment Options - We accept most major credit cards. Should you have need for a long-term payment plan, we work with several health care financing organizations that can extend payments up to one year with no interest or up to three years with interest charged. We also extend Senior discounts and a 10% payment at the time of service. We will do everything possible for you to allow us to provide you with excellent oral health.
