Our Services
-
Dental Exams
A dental exam helps assess the health of the teeth, gums, and overall oral structures. This evaluation helps prevent tooth decay, gum disease, bone loss, and other oral health issues. Dental exams are recommended biannually for individuals to maintain optimal dental health. They are an essential part of preventative and restorative dental care.
-
Teeth Cleanings
A teeth cleaning appointment helps remove plaque and calculus buildup from the teeth and gumline. This preventative treatment reduces the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, bone loss, and bad breath. Professional cleanings are recommended biannually to support optimal dental health and maintain a healthy smile.
-
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that helps brighten and enhance the natural color of your teeth. It effectively removes stains caused by food, drinks, smoking, and natural aging. Professional whitening treatments are safe, quick, and designed to give you a more radiant, confident smile.
-
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of teeth to improve their shape, color, and alignment. They provide a durable, natural-looking solution for correcting chips, stains, gaps, and minor misalignments, helping enhance the overall harmony and beauty of your smile.
-
Dental Crowns / Onlay & Inlays
Dental crowns and inlays/onlays are custom restorations used to repair and protect damaged or weakened teeth. Crowns cover the entire tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance, while inlays and onlays fit precisely into the tooth to treat larger cavities or fractures. These solutions help preserve natural tooth structure and maintain long-term oral health.
