Periodontics (Gum Disease Treatment)
Maintaining a healthy mouth starts with the gums. We make sure to closely examine gums for signs of periodontal disease during every hygiene appointment.
Gum disease is usually caused by plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on teeth. Plaque is usually the main culprit behind gum disease. Improper oral hygiene routines can lead to gums becoming irritated and inflamed. This irritated tissue can open up pockets as it separates from teeth. Bacteria then move into these open spaces and can destroy tooth support structure. Come see us or give us a call to see how we can help you in your fight against gum disease.

Dental Implants
Badly damaged teeth can inhibit your ability to chew and speak comfortably and may lead to other teeth shifting into improper positions. Take back your smile and your life with safe and effective dental implants.

Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth can cause infection, crowding, or decay in your mouth and are not integral to the structure of your mouth. A quick and painless extraction can fix these issues and restore the health and appearance of your teeth.

Root Canal Therapy
A root canal involves gently removing the nerve tissue of a tooth and sealing the canals with a special rubberlike material. After root canal therapy the tooth will not be able to feel temperature or pain but will maintain normal biting power and sensation.

Sleep Apnea
Aside from the impact on your oral health, sleep apnea has tremendous effects on your overall health. Since not enough oxygen is getting into the lungs, respiratory disease and cardiovascular disease can result. These diseases can lead to a stroke or heart attack. We can help comfortably treat your moderate sleep apnea by using a customized night guard.

Sleep Quiz
Sleep testing can be done in your own home and is simple, comfortable, and reliable. We will receive the results of your sleep test in a few days and if your results are mild or moderate obstructive sleep apnea, Oral Appliance therapy might work for you. The most severe patients are best helped with CPAP, however, non-compliant severe patients should consider a comfortable, effective Oral Appliance.
