TMJ - TMJ disorder, or TMD, can cause mild to severe symptoms, from jaw clicking and minor discomfort to sharp pain in your temple, ear, neck, or shoulders. For patients who suffer from frequent migraines or facial pain, an evaluation will allow us to determine if TMJ is the cause of pain. Therapy, such as an oral appliance or deprogramming, can realign the bite and relive pain.

Teeth Whitening - Popular, safe, and effective, teeth whitening can makeover your image in about an hour. If you want a reason to smile, consider in-office professional teeth whitening for a brighter smile.

Digital Imaging - This computer-based digital technology allows your dentist to create true-to-life photographs of your very own mouth, as if the recommended procedures had already been completed.

Invisalign® - If you want straighter teeth without bulky metal braces, consider Invisalign®. A series of clear, removable aligners will reposition your teeth without the hassle and pain of traditional orthodontia.

Dental Implants - If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants will improve your smile and your lifestyle. Dental implants look, feel, and function like strong, natural teeth because of a titanium anchor attached to the jawbone.

Brushing - You probably brush daily, and you may even floss your teeth, but did you know that proper dental homecare can protect you from pain, cavities, and potential overall health problems, including cardiovascular disease and stroke?

Dental Sealants - Available for children and adults, dental sealants cover teeth to prevent cavities. Dental sealants fill the deep pits and grooves where bacteria and food particles hide.

Gum Disease - It hides in your mouth, destroying gum tissue and teeth, and it can lead to strokes, heart attacks, and pregnancy complications. Don’t think it’s your problem? Conservative estimates report that up to 80 percent of the population unknowingly has gum disease in some form.

Veneers - If you need to put the sparkle back in your smile, consider veneers. Chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth can be effectively masked with porcelain veneers, laminates, or Lumineers. Boost your self confidence and enhance your appearance with veneers because you deserve a reason to smile!

Oral Health - It makes perfect sense: poor oral health is linked to poor physical health. Avoid risk factors for oral health problems, and you may prevent health problems throughout your body.
