We are committed to providing you with the highest quality oral health care in the most gentle, efficient manner possible. We take the time to listen to your needs, concerns, and desires regarding your dental health to develop an individualized treatment plan. Our focus is on proper diagnosis of any oral health issues you may have and total comprehensive care.
As a practice, we believe that preventive care and education are essential for ideal dental health. With proper diagnosis and treatment, you can expect your teeth to last for a lifetime. That is why we provide thorough exams to check on the health of your gums and teeth, as well as oral cancer screenings and x-rays when necessary. Routine cleanings, flossing, sealants and fluoride are also an important part of preventing dental disease. When you visit, we will review your medical history to determine whether or not any current medications, illnesses or other medical concerns may impact your dental health. We want to be sure that you have all the information you need to make sound decisions regarding your preventive care. We encourage you to ask questions and thoroughly discuss any concerns you may have.
