Your smile can be the most eye-catching feature of your face – either in a good way or a bad way! Stained, chipped or misshapen teeth can now be improved in a number of ways. Some of the choices are:
• Tooth Whitening brightens teeth that are discolored or stained. There are a number of methods used for bleaching. We use trays and professional-strength bleaching gel for effectiveness both for current usage and for touch-ups in the future.
• Bonding can improve the appearance of chipped, cracked or stained teeth and can close spaces between teeth. Tooth-colored materials are applied or bonded to the tooth surface.
• Veneers are thin custom-made shells designed to cover the front surfaces of teeth. As long as the back surfaces are not cracked, decayed or have worn-out fillings, veneers are a good option.
• Crowns are tooth-colored restorations that restore the front, side and back surfaces of teeth. They can also provide protection for teeth that have become weakened due to large fillings, fractures, and decay.
Ask, your dentist about which option would be best for you. You can have the smile you’ve always wanted!
If you, your family or friends need dental care, we would be honored to provide you with state-of-the-art dental care in our modern dental practice. Refer someone you love to someone you trust!

new method of paying for dental services that is becoming very popular. A Concierge Plan is an in-office plan that helps patients afford their needed dentistry. It is not traditional dental insurance, but rather a “membership plan”, similar to plans like Costco, Amazon Prime, Sam’s Club, etc. For one very affordable annual fee, a patient in our office receives a comprehensive exam for new patients, two professional cleanings and two periodic exams per year, an emergency exam if needed, a full-mouth series of x-rays every five years, one set of bitewing x-rays per year, two fluoride treatments per year if needed and 15% off of any other dental treatment they have done within that year. There is no limit on how much dentistry can be received. We have other plans too for families and for periodontal patients who need more frequent cleanings.
thing you can do for your dental health is visit your dentist regularly. If it’s been a while since your last checkup, resolve at this start of the year to call and make an appointment for a thorough examination and cleaning.
