Typically, your first visit will include a consultation and examination. In most situations, treatment can commence at the same time as your consultation. Conversely, in cases where there are complications with your medical history or the treatment plan is rather complex, we might need to schedule another appointment to initiate treatment.

Services
What Service We Provide
Preventative Care
Preventative care focuses on maintaining oral health through regular check-ups, cleanings, and patient education. It helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues, ensuring a healthy smile for life.
Restorative Dentistry
Reconstructive dentistry restores the function and appearance of your teeth using crowns, bridges, implants, and other techniques. It addresses damage from injury, decay, or wear, helping you regain a confident smile.
Dentures
Dentures are custom-made dental appliances that replace missing teeth, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. They come in full or partial sets, providing a natural-looking, comfortable solution.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are durable, artificial tooth roots that support crowns, bridges, or dentures. They fuse with the jawbone, offering a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring your smile.
ORAL HYGIENE
Oral hygiene is crucial because adults over 35 often lose more teeth to gum disease than cavities. About three out of four adults will face gum issues at some point. Good daily brushing and flossing are the best ways to prevent both cavities and gum disease.
Both gum disease and tooth decay are caused by bacterial plaque. Plaque is a colorless film that forms on your teeth along the gum line. By brushing and flossing daily, you can remove this plaque and help prevent gum disease.
FIRST VISIT
A review of your treatment options and an assessment are typically part of your initial session. Most of the time, therapy can begin or be completed on the same day as your consultation. However, we might require a second session to administer treatment on a different day if your medical history or treatment plan is complicated.

DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implants are advanced, long-lasting solutions for replacing missing teeth. They consist of titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. Over time, the implants fuse with the bone, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, offering a permanent solution that enhances your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. They also help preserve the jawbone and prevent the shifting of surrounding teeth, ensuring overall oral health.
