At your first visit and during regular check-ups, your dentist and hygienist will perform a comprehensive exam, including:

• X-rays: To detect cavities, bone loss, and assess tooth and root alignment.

• Oral Cancer Screening: Examination of the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, and gums for any signs of cancer.

• Periodontal Health Evaluation: Check for signs of periodontal disease and assess the supporting bone structure.

• Dental Exam: All teeth will be carefully examined for cavities, assessment of existing fillings, crowns, and other dental work.

• TMJ Evaluation: Check jaw joint function and screen for signs of temporomandibular joint disorders.

Your dental cleaning is done by a Registered Dental Hygienist and includes a full exam plus:

• Tartar removal: Hardened plaque that builds up above and below the gum line and can’t be brushed away.

• Plaque removal: Soft, sticky buildup filled with bacteria that can irritate gums and lead to gum disease.

• Polishing: Smooths teeth and removes surface stains to help keep your smile bright and clean.

• Home care review: We'll chat about your brushing, flossing, diet, and habits, and offer personalized tips to help you care for your teeth between visits.

We believe great dental care starts with prevention and education, not just treating problems. That’s why we focus on thorough exams, oral cancer screenings, and x-rays when needed. Regular cleanings, flossing, fluoride, and sealants all play a role in keeping your smile healthy.

Your overall health matters, too. Reviewing your medical history helps us understand how medications or conditions may affect your dental care,  because a healthy smile starts with a healthy you.

Sometimes, the soft tissue inside a tooth becomes infected or damaged. When this happens, it must be removed to keep the tooth healthy and intact. Root canal therapy safely removes the damaged tissue, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and fills it with a biocompatible material.

Most teeth treated with a root canal need more support than a regular filling can provide. We’ll discuss whether a crown or onlay is the best option to protect your tooth for the long run.

Composite (tooth-colored) fillings are typically completed in one visit. Your dentist will remove any decay, clean the space, and prepare the tooth. If the decay is close to the nerve, a protective medication may be applied. The filling is then placed, shaped, and polished to restore the tooth’s natural look and function.

You may experience mild sensitivity to hot or cold at first, this usually fades as your tooth adjusts. If you feel discomfort when biting, please call us immediately to schedule an adjustment.

We’ll provide care instructions after your visit. With good oral hygiene, healthy habits, and regular check-ups, your filling can last for many years.

When a tooth is damaged or weakened, a simple filling may not be enough. That’s where crowns, inlays, and onlays come in .These are custom restorations that strengthen and protect your tooth while restoring its natural shape and function.

• Crowns cover the entire tooth, like a protective cap, and are used when there’s significant damage or after root canal therapy.

• Inlays fit inside the grooves of the tooth, between the cusps (points), and are used for moderate decay or damage.

• Onlays cover one or more cusps and are a more conservative alternative to a full crown.

We offer both all-ceramic restorations for a natural, tooth-colored look and full gold options for exceptional strength and durability, especially for back teeth.

What to Expect:
In most cases, the process takes two visits. At the first appointment, we remove any decay or old filling, prepare the tooth, and take a digital  impression. A temporary restoration is placed while your custom crown, inlay, or onlay is made. At the second visit, we cement the final restoration in place, ensuring a strong, natural-looking fit.

Whitening treatments can be effective on both extrinsic and intrinsic staining. Only natural teeth can be whitened; in most cases, tooth-colored restorations will not bleach.

Whitening treatments include in-office bleaching procedures, dentist-supplied products for use at home, and over-the-counter (OTC) whiteners.​ Temporary tooth sensitivity and gingival inflammation are the most common adverse effects.
