Oral health is linked to overall health, and we want our patients to enjoy the best health they can.  We provide restorative, general and cosmetic dentistry for children and adults.  Prevention is our top priority, and we will give you the tools to maintain your oral health at home.  Many of our patients find their visits to our office to be a rewarding and fun experience. We are happy to offer MOVIES and MUSIC during your procedures!

 Education & Prevention

 As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health.  We focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums and also performing oral cancer exams.  A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health. We also focus on treating dental infection, and teaching you how to prevent the return of infection. Dental inflammation is clearly linked to other health problems like heart disease.

Uncompromising Safety and Cleanliness

Infection control in our office is also very important to us.  To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

Whole Body Health

We are firm believers in the use of holistic methods to help create health.  We have a network of practitioners we are happy to recommend to our patients who are interested. 

Training & Expertise

To give you the best possible service and results, we are committed to continual education and learning.  We attend dental lectures, meetings, and dental conventions to stay informed of new techniques, the latest products, and the newest equipment that a modern dental office can utilize to provide state-of-the-art dental care.  Also, being members of various professional dental associations helps us to stay abreast of the changes and recommendations for our profession.

A Positive Experience

Building a foundation of trust by treating our patients as individuals is vital to our practice.  We understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits, and how we can make a difference by providing a relaxing and positive experience.  Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.  We also strive to be on time - we know your time is valuable.

Payment Options

In addition to accepting cash, check and credit cards, we also work with Care Credit, a financing company.  Care Credit allows you to pay for your dentistry over a 12 month period with no fees and no interest.  This is a very convenient option to have, especially in this economy. Care Credit can make the smile you long to have affordable!  Go to www.carecredit.com
