No treatment is standard for individual person. The treatment options vary depending on the clinical scenarios presented. We have all options available and provide you with your custom treatment plan to bring back function and esthetics.

What is the best way to whiten my teeth?

While you’ll find plenty of treatments at the store, by far, the most reliable and safe way to dramatically brighten your smile is with professional teeth whitening provided by a dentist. The products we use are much stronger than anything you can buy on your own, and we know how to use them in a way that won’t damage your enamel or make your teeth more sensitive. In most cases, we can brighten your teeth to a way lighter and satisfactory shade in just one visit.

I have a gap between my front teeth. How can I get rid of it?

We actually have two treatments that can take care of this common flaw: direct bonding and porcelain veneers. Bonding consists of applying a resin to the teeth to close the gap, while veneers involve placing thin restorations over the front of the teeth. Both are able to deliver beautiful, natural-looking results that can be trusted to last for long. Which one would be best for you? Give us a call to find out.

Will you accept my dental insurance?

Yes, we accept and are happy to work with ALL PPO dental insurance plans. We’ll even file your claim for you to ensure you’re getting the most out of your benefits! We can tell you more about how we can use your particular plan if you give us a call.

I don’t have dental insurance. Do you have any patient specials?
