Biomimetic and Wellness Dentistry. Our biological philosophy is that nature provides the most successful blue print for overall health and wellness. Biomimetic dentistry focuses on tooth conservation and restoration, maintaining as much healthy tooth structure as possible. We offer oral microbiome centered care and diet analysis to complement traditional dental care. We are proud to offer the new iTero lumina scanner with NIRI advanced technology offering radiation free dental diagnostics as an alternative to digital radiographs. This is a unique option for our pregnant patients, patients with developmental challenges, and young children for whom traditional digital x-rays may be challenging.
Restorative Care with Advanced Treatment Options. We offer crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, root canal therapy, extractions, dental implant placement and restoration, dentures, cosmetic enhancements, and full mouth rehabilitation tailored to each patient’s needs.
Amalgam Filling Replacement. For patients choosing to replace amalgam fillings with mercury free biocompatible options, our office follows the SMART amalgam removal protocol. This scientifically developed biological approach is designed to minimize exposure to mercury vapors and particles during the removal of silver (amalgam) fillings.
Orthodontics. Our orthodontic offerings include traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, Invisalign®, clear aligners, palatal expanders, space maintainers, as well as myofunctional and habit breaking appliances. We create customized treatment plans that improve alignment, function, and long term stability for children, teens, and adults.
Pediatric Dentistry. Our pediatric dentistry services focus on prevention, education, and gentle restorative care in a supportive environment. We provide comprehensive exams, fluoride treatments, natural, fluoride free and gluten free options, nano hydroxyapatite remineralization therapy, sealants, laser frenectomy consultations, tooth-colored biocompatible composite fillings, and pediatric stainless steel and zirconia crowns.
Non-invasive Treatments. Our non-invasive dental menu allows us the opportunity to effectively arrest early carious lesions and promote healing without drilling or anesthesia. We are experts in remineralization therapy using Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) to arrest active decay and prevent cavities from worsening. We offer biomimetic options such as nano hydroxyapatite for those families wishing for a more biocompatible approach, as well as Curodont repair which is a bioactive treatment using peptides to guide natural enamel regeneration.
Sedation Dentistry. For patients who experience dental anxiety, we offer nitrous oxide and conscious sedation to promote comfort and relaxation. Above all, we strive to provide a warm, welcoming environment where every patient feels respected, informed, and confident in their care.
