The entire staff was warm and welcoming. They greeted me with friendly smiles that felt genuine. Michelle explained everything step by step as she administered services. She constantly asked if I was okay, and asked if I needed anything. My first visit was wonderful. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a dental office that provides exceptional services.

Mary S.

I started my Invisalign treatment today, and the experience was incredibly smooth. Kayla guided me through each step, thoroughly explaining everything she was doing. I really appreciated her transparency and the way she kept me informed throughout the process. She provided not only the necessary details but also information I didn't even realize I needed. Kayla made me feel completely comfortable, and I left feeling confident in my treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I visit the dentist?

+

You should visit the dentist every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning. These regular visits help prevent dental problems by catching issues early, removing plaque buildup and maintaining your overall oral health. Your dentist may recommend more frequent visits based on your unique dental needs.

What can I do to prevent cavities?

+

Preventing cavities starts with brushing your teeth twice daily, flossing once a day and limiting sugary foods and drinks. Fluoride toothpaste helps strengthen enamel, and regular dental visits allow for early detection of decay. Sealants and professional fluoride treatments also provide extra protection, especially for children and teens.

Are X-rays safe during dental visits?

+

Yes, dental X-rays are considered safe. They use minimal radiation and are only taken when necessary for diagnosis or treatment planning. Protective aprons and modern digital technology further reduce exposure. Our dentists will ensure X-rays are appropriate and taken with the highest safety standards in place.

What should I do in a dental emergency?

+

If you experience a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache or broken crown, contact our dentists immediately. Prompt care can prevent complications and increase the chance of saving the tooth. Until you are seen, avoid using the affected area and follow any instructions from your dental team.
