Our treatments

Cleanings

Dental cleanings are more than just a fancy way to polish your pearly whites. Having your teeth professionally cleaned removes plaque, freshens your breath, and gives us a chance to detect potential decay or damage before it progresses to periodontal disease or other complications.

Fluoride

Fluoride treatments are a great way to gain extra cavity-fighting power. It fortifies the outer surface of your teeth, making them less susceptible to decay or cavities. Choosing fluoride treatments during your regular cleaning and exams keep your teeth strong and healthy between visits.

Dental Sealants

Though flossing and brushing are the best ways to prevent cavities, everyone can benefit from a little extra cavity protection. Dental sealants are a quick and painless way to provide an extra layer of protection against decay. A thin coating is simply painted on your teeth over the enamel, and can be reapplied every two to four years.

Periodontal Care

For patients with existing signs of periodontal disease, we offer more targeted cleanings that involve scaling and root planing. This allows us to remove tartar from deep below the surface of the gums, reducing bacteria and inflammation and improving the health of your gums.

Emergency Dentistry

Life doesn’t always wait for a scheduled appointment. That’s why we make ourselves available to fit in same-day visits for dental emergencies whenever possible. Whether you’ve had an accident, are experiencing severe gum or tooth pain, or need existing dental work examined, we’re here for you when it counts.
