General Dentistry
What is General Dentistry? General Dentistry is the first step to a bright, healthy smile!
General Dentistry concerns the health and maintenance of your teeth and gums, such as cleanings, repairs, disease prevention, and more. General Dentistry is what will help maintain your teeth and gums so that your smile lasts through the ages.
The goal of General Dentistry is to remove all disease from your mouth and repair broken down teeth, giving you the freedom to enjoy one of life's greatest pleasures - eating your favorite foods! Although some diseases may be painful, like a cavity in your tooth, "gum disease" is usually not painful and can lead to the unexpected loss of your teeth.
Through regular "check-ups," dental cleanings, removal of dental decay, and showing you proper home care, we can eliminate disease from your mouth to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy for life. So don't wait -- call for an appointment today!

Prosthodontics
Prosthodontics is the dental specialty pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation and maintenance of the oral function, comfort, appearance and health of patients with clinical conditions associated with missing or deficient teeth and/or oral and maxillofacial tissues using biocompatible substitutes. A prosthodontist will usually treat the more difficult dental problems such as people who are missing many teeth or have significant functional or aesthetic problems. While the general practitioner is capable of handling most simple crown and bridge procedures to replace and repair missing teeth, when it comes to restoring an entire arch or the whole mouth, the prosthodontist is indicated for this difficult and complex type of dental treatment.
Patients contemplating dental implants or major changes in their appearance should consult with a prosthodontist to assure that they are gaining the best possible care for their dentition. These difficult treatments require the expertise that is only available by a trained prosthodontist.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are today's best alternative to natural teeth. They can be your doorway to renewed self-confidence and peace of mind.
An implant is, essentially, a sophisticated titanium screw which is placed into the jaw bone to replace the root of a lost natural tooth. The implant fuses with the jawline to form a secure foundation for tooth replacement. The end result... replacement teeth that look, feel and function just like natural teeth. The embarrassment , irritation and self-consciousness often experienced by people who have missing teeth, those who wear dentures or who have suffered through older methods of tooth replacement are overcome with the confidence of permanently anchored dental implants.

Reconstructive Dentistry
Reconstructive dentistry is what most people think of as fillings, crowns and bridgework. Today’s technology has improved reconstructive dentistry and offers treatment options that provide longer lasting solutions. Our grandparents’ generation did not have the option to replace missing or decayed teeth with prosthetics that are as strong and as lifelike as natural teeth. Reconstructive dentistry utilizes all the disciplines of dentistry to treat and restore a tooth's function, shape, form and aesthetics. Periodontics (gum dentistry), orthodontics (tooth alignment), oral surgery, endodontics (root canal therapy) and prosthedontics (restorative dentistry) are the most common disciplines that restore and rebuild patients’ jaws, teeth, facial harmony and restore the symmetry that makes for a beautiful smile.
