It is our pleasure and privilege to
welcome you to our office. Although
there have been numerous advances in
dentistry of late, the most important
element is still the relationship
between doctor and patient. We wish to
facilitate a comfortable, long-term,
respectful relationship between our
health care providers and our patients,
instilling a confidence that you have
chosen the best practice.
Co-diagnosis
Any treatment that is recommended is
co-diagnosed, meaning that, you and your
doctor decide how best to proceed.
Treatment options, advantages,
prognosis, materials and fees are
thoroughly discussed to ensure your
complete understanding and long-term
satisfaction.

technology and materials deliver superb
results that are sure to please. Arrange
for a private consultation to discuss
your beautiful smile!
Whitening
Your teeth become stained naturally
as a result of the food and drink that
you consume. Dental Whitening uses an
ingredient to effectively lift the stain
from deep within your enamel. The result
is a whiter, more youthful smile! We
offer 2 methods of this popular
treatment. Our in-office system using a
state-of-the-art activation light
yields results in about an hour. Our
convenient take home system can be used
during the day or night and yields
maximum results in about 10 to 14 days.
Crowns and Bridges
A crown is a protective covering that
is bonded or cemented onto your tooth.
It is custom made in a dental laboratory
by highly qualified technicians using
ceramics, noble alloys or a combination
of both. A crown may be recommended for
a tooth that has a large filling, a root
canal or a fracture. A bridge is simply
3 or more crowns linked together. A
bridge is recommended to replace a
missing tooth or teeth. A bridge helps
provide a continuous chewing surface,
keeps teeth from drifting out of
position, protects teeth and improve
aesthetics. Crowns and bridges are
quality restorations and are an
excellent investment in your long-term
dental health.
Veneers
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain
that are bonded to the front surface of
your teeth. Veneers are an excellent
remedy for chipped, cracked, spaced,
stained or misaligned teeth. Dramatic
results can be achieved in as few as 2
appointments. Veneers are considered
long-term restorations that strengthen,
protect and enhance the beauty of your
smile.
Preventive Dentistry
This involves taking action to
prevent a condition from developing or
worsening. Removing plaque from your
teeth by brushing and flossing prevents
plaque from hardening into tartar.
Having your teeth professionally cleaned
on a regular basis is one of the easiest
ways of practicing preventive dentistry.
Our hygienist will custom recommend a
schedule of appointments and home care
regimen designed to prevent the advance
of gum disease and preserve your healthy
smile for years to come. All aspects of
dental care prescribed in this office
are based in prevention.
Rejuvenating Your Smile
Even the loss of one tooth can result
in the tipping, drifting and erupting of
neighboring and opposing teeth. The loss
of several teeth can result in the
inability to chew and speak effectively.
It can also lead to the collapse of your
bite causing stress on your jaw joints,
facial muscles and a reduction in the
vertical dimension of your face. This
can create an older facial appearance
with noticeable facial lines.
Implants
A dental implant is a small titanium
post that is surgically placed in the
jawbone. Following a period of healing,
it will act much like the root of a
tooth over which a crown will be placed.
Implants can support a single crown,
long span bridges and are often used
when rehabilitating an entire dentition.
They are considered long term
restorations and provide excellent
results that are comfortable,
naturallooking and high functioning.
Invisible Braces
One of the most innovative advances
in dentistry is the ability to
straighten your teeth without
traditional metal brackets. We use a
series of clear, plastic, removable
"aligners," which are computer generated
to gently and progressively alter the
position of your teeth until they are
correctly aligned. Our patients are seen
smiling as much during treatment as
after treatment! Ask us if "invisible
braces" are right for you.
New Patients
The trust you place in our practice
by the referral of family and friends is
our greatest compliment. We are
delighted when a patient refers us and
promise to extend the same high-level
service you have come to expect.
