*Periodontal “Gum’ Disease - If left untreated, this non-painful gum infection can cause bone loss around the teeth causing them to become loose. Chronic bad breath, bleeding, red and puffy gums are early signs of gum infection. Our dentists or hygienist can painlessly and non surgically eliminate this disease from your mouth and help prevent any future loss of teeth. Periodontal disease has also been linked as a contributing factor to heart disease, pancreatic disease and also miscarriages. Call us today for a complimentary exam and screening to make sure this “silent disease” is not affecting your over-all health and the health and strength of your teeth. We now have a new method of treating periodontal problems, "PerioProtect" which uses medicaments plus trays and is very effective  eliminating painful scraping.

*Children’s Dentistry – We provide general dentistry and preventive dentistry to children. Regular cleaning and fluoride treatments with our hygienists are great ways to prevent early tooth decay. Preventive dental sealants can be bonded onto the grooves of the chewing surfaces of baby molars and permanent six year molars to prevent tooth decay from starting.

*Implants - Replacing a missing tooth is very important to the longevity of your dentition. If you don't do this, the adjacent teeth will tip into the missing site and The opposing tooth will erupt to be above its normal position in the dental arch. This can caused functional problems with the bite, start the degeneration of the entire mouth, periodontal disease and perhaps lead to jaw pain. The solution is to have an implant done. A metal post is implanted into the bone and then a dental porcelain crown is installed on the post. Another solution to the missing tooth is a bridge. In this technique the two adjacent teeth to the missing teeth are used as support for the bridge. They have to be prepared or reshaped so crowns can be put on them. State of the art treatment at this time is the dental implant.
