Sedation Dentistry
Our practice has offered "sleep dentistry" for over 25 years. We perform difficult or extensive procedures while you sleep lightly—treatment is completed, sometimes in a matter of two to six hours. For fearful patients, or busy people pressed for time, sleep dentistry affords the care you need in a single session.

At your appointment, you’ll be drowsy, but thoroughly responsive. Our sleep dentistry team monitors your every move throughout. Another big plus: Most patients don’t remember or feel a thing.

Best of all, when you awake, you’ll be done with dentistry for a while and feel relaxed and comfortable when you return home.

Laser Dentistry
Lasers have revolutionized dental treatment and are now utilized for treating gum disease, whitening teeth, and various surgical procedures. No scalpel or stitches required!

Implant Dentistry
Implants are utilized to support crowns and bridges—giving patients the ability to chew with strength and confidence. Implants also combine beautifully with cosmetic dentistry!

Cosmetic Dentistry
We think you’ll agree: Every year is the best year of your life when you are healthy and happy. With new cosmetic techniques, the "healthy" is a given. We correct any pre-existing oral problems before we begin a program of enhancement. The "happy" factor is the natural outcome of cosmetic dentistry—being the best you can be—inside and out.

Some options:

Whiter Teeth
A common complaint among our patients is the darkening of teeth—getting older, perhaps, because of medications, smoking, or an extreme caffeine habit. Bleaching teeth is a straightforward procedure to brighten your smile—inexpensive, absolutely safe, and quick. We custom design a mouth tray, then get you started here in the office with a bleaching gel. You take home the tray to continue lightening between appointments. You’ll notice the results in no time. And so will everyone else.

Bonding
New materials make possible any number of alterations to tooth shape, imperfections of the "smile line"—the curve of your smile—even spaces between the teeth. Hard plastic resins are formed to fill in chips, bring the teeth into finer harmony, and close gaps between the teeth. Bonding is a kind of dental sculpture, actually. And with care, bonded restorations stand up to oral stress for a long, long time.

Veneers
Porcelain veneers correct a vast range of dental defects. Veneers are much like the facing on a fine cabinet, or that fingernail applied by the manicurist. Veneers are the more permanent solution to gaps, discoloration, overlapping teeth, teeth ground down to unnatural height, and so on. Some call veneers "instant orthodontics," the effect is so dramatic. Between us, we’ll discover what’s most suitable for you and your personality.

Inlays & Onlays
Yet another technique for brightening the entire mouth is the placement of tooth-colored inlays or onlays where metal fillings used to be the material of choice. Especially in the molars, at the back of the mouth, cavities and broken teeth are beveled to receive natural-colored materials that, to the eye, blend into existing enamel. The tooth becomes whole again.

Crown & Bridge

In light of other cosmetic procedures, you might think the placement of crown and bridgework is ho-hum. But the days of ponderous crowns and heavy bridges with metal bases peering through—they’re gone. New porcelain restorations look like natural teeth, and there’s nothing stronger.
