Our Services

We provide a variety of services designed to meet the unique needs of children, including:

• Dental Check-Ups: Regular check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health. Our dental check-ups include a thorough examination of your child's teeth and gums.
• Dental X-Rays: Dental x-rays offer a better picture of your dental health and can detect any hidden problems or abnormalities.
• Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride is a substance that has been proven to be extremely beneficial to teeth. However, the correct balance of fluoride is important to your child's teeth.
• Orthodontic Examinations: The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic exam before the age of seven. By receiving an early orthodontic examination, the dentist can begin necessary dental procedures at an early stage.
• Sealants: Sealants are an acrylic coating that protects the chewing surfaces from tooth decay in children. Sealants keep food and germs out of the nooks and crannies of the child's teeth, lowering the risk of decay.
• Sedation Dentistry: Most of our restorative procedures require just a local anesthetic. This is used to help our patients feel less pain without affecting consciousness.
• Tooth-Colored Fillings: The acrylic bonding or tooth-colored fillings are for children and adults. The bonding is used for fillings in the posterior teeth. The great thing about using acrylic bonding is it strengthens the teeth and gives a natural look and feeling.
