Our Services

Start dental care with the very first tooth! We recommend bringing children in for their first appointment when their first tooth comes in or around their first birthday, whichever comes first. That first appointment includes a quick exam, dental hygiene education, information about tooth progression, an overview of pediatric dental care, and tips to keep your baby’s teeth healthy.
Twice a year! Regular dental checkups, along with professional cleanings, are essential to your oral health. We conduct routine checkups and dental cleanings to help our patients prevent or treat any oral health problems. A regular checkup includes a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth and gums, digital X-rays (when necessary), oral screenings, and professional cleaning, leaving your teeth looking and feeling their best.

This is a minimal intervention approach to managing decay in primary or baby teeth by placing preformed metal crowns, without the need for drilling or local anesthesia.
If you play sports or do activities where your teeth are at risk, ask about our custom-fitted mouthguards. They are also be used to treat clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism).
This approach emphasizes preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible while treating dental issues, focusing on preventive measures, early detection of dental problems, and minimally invasive treatments to maintain oral health. Minimal intervention dentistry aims to reduce the need for extensive dental procedures.
This quick and easy treatment helps to prevent decay and cavities on the chewing surfaces of the molars. Sealants are painted directly on the teeth in order to smooth out deep grooves and pits, making it harder for plaque and bacteria to accumulate in these areas. This preventive treatment is highly effective for both children and adults.
Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay by strengthening the enamel. Fluoride treatments involve applying a concentrated fluoride solution to the teeth for individuals at higher risk of cavities.
We remove or modify the frenulum to address issues such as tongue-tie or lip-tie, which can affect speech and oral function.
Invisalign First is an alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth, specifically designed for children. It uses a series of clear, removable aligners that are faster, more predictable, and more comfortable than other orthodontic options for growing children.
