Preventive/Diagnostic
Designed to help you preserve your natural teeth, and detect small problems before they become bigger problems. This includes a thorough examination of the teeth and gums as well as the head and neck. Professional cleaning, fluoride applications, periodic x-rays and oral hygiene instruction are integral parts of thoughtful treatment. Regular recall appointments are very important in maintaining good oral health.

Restorative
Treatments designed to remove dental decay and to return the teeth to their natural form and function by using filling materials; both silver (amalgam), tooth-colored (composite), and occasionally porcelain inlays or onlays. Our empahsis here is on gaining results that are long-lasting, comfortable, and pleasing to the eye.

Fear of dental treatment kept you away? Relax!
In addition to our caring approach and relaxing pace, we are happy to provide you with noise canceling headphones and XM audio during your procedures. We can provide you with a prescriptive sedative agent that you simply take by mouth 1 hour prior to your appointment. We do ask that you make arrangements for someone else to drive you home.

Referrals
Because we live in such an excellent dental and medical community, we may, during the course of your treatment, choose to take advantage of a specialist's expertise, and refer you for a consultation or treatment should the need arise. If so, we will continue to communicate with the specialist during your treatment to insure everything is working toward your best interest.
