For your overall health and a higher quality of life we provide complete dental care for the adult and the child patient. With emphasis on prevention we provide teeth cleaning and periodontal (gum) treatment. Oral hygiene instruction and oral cancer screenings are routine on all checkup visits. In addition, the benefits of fluoride treatments and sealants are available to reduce the incidence of cavities for the children in our practice. We recognize that your appearance is important and we provide cosmetic dentistry to help you to look your best. The benefits of teeth bleaching (whitening), tooth colored fillings and bonded veneers (porcelain facings for the front teeth), are available to our patients. In addition an entire spectrum of dental services are available including fillings, crowns, bridges, full and partial dentures, root canal treatment and oral surgery. If a patient has a special situation that is best treated by a specialist we refer them to the appropriate specialist. The health of our patients and our staff are very important to us. All of our instruments are sterilized by autoclave (steam under high pressure). This is the same sterilizing technique that is used in all hospitals. Steam sterilization is effective for destroying all viral and bacterial pathogens. Any instruments or materials that cannot be sterilized are disposed of immediately after use.
