Services
Clearline Braces
Clearline Braces offer a discreet, removable solution for straightening teeth using custom clear aligners. Ideal for adults and older teens, this system corrects overcrowding, spacing, and bite issues without brackets or wires. Patients wear aligners for 22 hours daily, removing them for meals and oral hygiene, with tray changes every two to three weeks. Treatment typically lasts six months but varies based on individual needs.
VELscope Screening
VELscope Screening uses a specialized blue light to detect abnormal oral tissues invisible to the naked eye. This non-invasive, painless procedure enhances early diagnosis of oral cancer, improving treatment outcomes. The scan takes minutes during routine checkups, complementing traditional exams. Early detection increases the 5-year survival rate to approximately 80%, making this a critical preventive service.
Restorative Procedures
Our metal-free restorative procedures use durable, aesthetic materials like composite resin and porcelain to repair damaged teeth. Services include fillings, inlays, onlays, and crowns that mimic natural tooth structure. These solutions preserve healthy tooth portions while restoring function and appearance. Treatments are tailored to address cavities, cracks, or wear, ensuring long-lasting results and improved oral health.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays provide high-resolution images for diagnosing hidden dental issues with minimal radiation exposure. This technology enables immediate viewing on-screen, aiding precise treatment planning. Adults typically require full-mouth X-rays every two years, while children may need them more frequently due to developing jaws. The process is safe, efficient, and integral to preventive care.
Laser Gum Therapy
Laser Gum Therapy targets bacterial infections in gum tissue using advanced laser technology. This minimally invasive method reduces discomfort, promotes faster healing, and preserves healthy tissue. It effectively treats periodontal disease by eliminating pathogens and stimulating gum regeneration. Patients benefit from improved oral health and reduced risk of systemic complications linked to gum disease.
