Yes, we evaluate wisdom teeth with digital X-rays and 3D imaging, and we remove teeth that are impacted, infected, or likely to cause problems. Wisdom teeth are often removed in the late teens and twenties, when recovery tends to be easier. Ask us about sedation options if the idea makes you nervous. Learn more on our wisdom teeth removal page.
Yes, we make custom athletic mouth guards that fit comfortably and protect teeth, lips, and the jaw better than store bought versions. They are a smart choice for student athletes and recreational players alike. We can also help with dental injuries from sports. Learn more on our sports dentistry page.
Yes, dentists can evaluate jaw pain and clenching, and we offer custom night guards and TMJ treatment. We examine your jaw, bite, and teeth to find the likely cause, then recommend a plan that fits your needs. Many patients find relief with a custom oral appliance.
Cosmetic dentistry is not a recognized dental specialty, so any dentist can offer it. Look for a dentist with experience, a commitment to continuing education, and a willingness to explain your options honestly. We focus on conservative, natural looking results and explain what each treatment can and cannot do. Learn more on our cosmetic dentistry page.
Dental implants are designed to last many years, because the implant itself becomes part of your jawbone. The crown, bridge, or denture attached to it may need to be replaced over time, and with good care these restorations can last a decade or more. A qualified specialist we coordinate with places the implant, and we design and place the restoration. Learn more on our dental implants page.
We accept all dental insurance plans except Medicaid, and we are in network with Delta Dental Premier. Our team will verify your benefits before your visit and explain your estimated costs.
