Our Services

Routine Hygiene and Exams
Prevention is the best treatment. Routine visits provide us an opportunity to evaluate your childs oral status and stop problems before they start. We will see your little one as soon as they have teeth!

3D Imaging
We have the most advanced 3D imaging technology available, allowing us to visualize facial structures in incredible detail, and with less radiation exposure than previous technology.

White Fillings
We provide a number of resin and/or silica based restorative materials that provide an esthetic result while conserving healthy tooth structure.

Emergency Services
We will do everything we can to accomodate emergency patients and our doctors are available after hours on our emergency phone line.

Permanent Crowns, Root Canals
We don't just see little kids! Many of our teenage patients need more extensive treatment on permanent teeth. In most circumstances, we can provide these services in house.

Airway Conscious Orthodontics
Growth and development of the oral structures can have lifelong consequences. We have the technology and training to identify problems and prevent airway constriction during orthodontic treatment.

Pediatric TMD
Temporal mandibular joint dysfunction is progressive and often has its origins in childhood. Our treatments address current issues and help avoid future problems.

Soft Tissue Correction
Releasing lip and/or tongue ties in infants can improve breastfeeding success for mother and baby. These procedures are safe and quick in the office using a dental laser with limited or no bleeding.

Dedicated Support Staff
Our dentists and staff members are dedicated to creating a comfortable and helpful environment for both the patient and the parent.
