Emergency

Stay calm. Focus on stopping the bleeding and protecting the injured tooth or area by following the appropriate instructions in this section.

Teledentistry / Virtual Screening

Teledentistry, or virtual screening, is an easy way to consult with a dentist from your smartphone, tablet or computer

Clear Aligners

Similar to braces, clear aligners use a gradual force to control tooth movement, but without metal wires or brackets.

Crowns

A dental crown restores a tooth's shape, size, and strength. It fully encases the visible portion of your tooth or dental implant.

Dental Hygiene

Routine dental checkups are vital to good oral hygiene and are the best way to detect problems at their earliest stages which saves unnecessary discomfort, time, and money.

Fillings

A filling repairs and restores the surface of a tooth that has been damaged by decay, fracture, or wear.

Gum Disease / Periodontics

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection of the gums and tissues that support your teeth. It is caused most often by the build-up of plaque and tartar when teeth are not routinely brushed and flossed.

Root Canal / Endodontics

An endodontic treatment saves a severely injured, cracked, or decayed tooth when its pulp becomes inflamed or infected. If it is not treated promptly, pain or a tooth abscess results. Endodontic treatment is also known as a "root canal."

Braces / Orthodontics

The most commonly known orthodontic treatment is braces: an orthodontic appliance used to straighten teeth and correct bad bites. Braces can be prescribed for teens, adults, and children who have permanent teeth.

Teeth Whitening

Tooth whitening enhances the brightness of natural teeth; but it's not for everyone. Discuss it with your Dentist before you take action.

Veneers

A veneer improves the appearance of the visible front surface of a tooth by covering it with a wafer-thin, custom-made shell of tooth-colored porcelain.

Wisdom Teeth / Oral Surgery

Third molars, also called wisdom teeth, are the last set of permanent teeth to erupt in a person's mouth and are the ones least needed. While the removal of wisdom teeth is the most well-known type of oral surgery, there are many reasons why oral surgery may be required.
