Everyone wants a bright, attractive smile. It makes you feel confident when you meet new friends or make new business contacts. Sometimes all you need to get that smile is the type of careful dental care you have the right to expect of your dentist. For example, matching porcelain fillings with surrounding teeth. But sometimes what you need is more extensive -- a porcelain veneer to reshape a tooth, a crown, a bridge, an implant that feels like it's your own natural tooth, a comfortable denture. Because we understand how important your smile is, we take pride in having the skills and the expertise that come from keeping up with the leading edge of dental theory so that we can help you have the smile you deserve to have.

And you'll be able to see from the beginning what your smile will look like when you're done.
Everyone wants the whitest and brightest smile they can have. And now you can get that smile with Zoom! , a safe and painless approach to whitening teeth that works in one hour in our office.
MIGRAINE RELIEF
Excessive clenching of the teeth at night can lead to exhaustion and chronic headaches. Best Bite ® is a tension suppression system that relieves the pressure you put on your teeth and jaws through clenching. Small, clear and almost invisible, the easily removable apliance can be worn all day or all night long.
W hen you look in the mirror and see something in your smile that you don't like, it's hard to imagine yourself with straight and even teeth. We can make it easier for you with our Before and After Gallery . You'll see actual photographs taken in our office of work that makes us almost as proud as the owners of these bright, new smiles. Maybe someday your smile will be in our photo album, too.

Good oral health requires more than just daily brushing and regular dental checkups because it's only one small part of your overall physical and mental well-being. Our professional staff understands that diet, pregnancy, chemotherapy, and physical illnesses can affect your oral health and we are committed to working with you on your whole body health.
Just because a child's baby teeth are going to fall out someday doesn't mean that children don't need to have good, early dental care. Baby teeth can have cavities and they may need to be treated. We know that baby teeth are important as space holders until your child's permanent teeth come in. Just as your oral health is part of your whole body health, so is your child's. We're the place where you can come with your questions about fluoridation, and thumbsucking and diet so that you can help your child develop a full set of teeth someday that will be just as beautiful as those small, precious teeth you watched appear one by one.
A FAQ is a Frequently Asked Question. We've tried to answer the questions we hear most often from our patients about everything from wisdom teeth to crowns. If you have a question that you think we've missed and that other people may want to know, tell us .
What You Should Expect From Your Dentist
W hen you first meet the doctor, it's a good sign if you get to do most of the talking. After all, who knows you better than...you! Your needs and concerns are very important to us.
Advanced dental care can be surprisingly comfortable. With adequate music, some aromatherapy, warmed anesthetic, tranquilizers, or topical anesthetic, you will be amazed at how easy high quality dental care can be!
W e know how valuable your time and money are to you; that's why our goal is on-time appointments, availability of financing, and the highest level of modern dental care.
W hen you need a dentist, you want one who takes the time to be gentle and careful. That's exactly the way we built our practice! In this day and age of "managed care," HMOs, and PPOs, we have chosen instead to keep our practice unique, personal, calm, relaxed, and technically state of the art.
