Like the American Dental Association, we recommend coming in for a dental checkup and cleaning at least every six months. In addition to daily oral hygiene, this semiannual visit is critical for preventing serious problems like cavities and gum disease. Even if you already have an existing issue, we’ll be able to catch and treat it early on—before significant damage is done to your smile.
Yes, we do! Giving kids good memories at the dentist’s office can have an impact on the rest of their lives, and we love helping young patients have positive dental experiences. Our team is patient, friendly, and gentle, helping your child feel right at home.
Although some patients report feeling pain before the root canal is performed, the procedure itself involves little to no discomfort and prevents future decay or infection in the tooth. Afterward, any pain should be significantly reduced. This procedure also helps you keep the natural tooth, which would need to be extracted without root canal therapy.
We are proud to offer three orthodontic treatments, including traditional metal braces, Invisalign, and accelerated orthodontics. Because we customize our treatments to fit each patient’s needs, we will need to have a consultation with you first to determine which option is the right one for you!
