Our Services
We offer a broad spectrum of dental services to cater to every aspect of your child’s oral health.
Explore our main service categories below:
Preventive & General Dentistry
Preventive care is crucial for maintaining your child’s dental health. Our general dentistry services include routine check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to prevent cavities and ensure a healthy smile. We also offer specialized care such as space maintainers for children who have lost teeth prematurely. Visit our Preventive & General Dentistry page to learn more.
Introducing your child to dental care at an early age is crucial for developing good oral hygiene habits. Our kids' first teeth cleaning service is gentle and effective, making the experience positive and educational. We focus on teaching children the importance of brushing and flossing while ensuring their first dental visit is comfortable.
Dental sealants are a preventive treatment that helps protect your child's teeth from cavities. Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where cavities are most likely to form. This simple, painless procedure provides an extra layer of protection, making it easier to maintain a cavity-free smile.
Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and makes it more resistant to decay. Our fluoride treatments involve applying a concentrated fluoride solution to your child's teeth, helping to remineralize weakened enamel and prevent cavities. Regular fluoride treatments are a vital part of maintaining strong, healthy teeth.
If your child loses a tooth prematurely due to decay or injury, space maintainers can help ensure that their permanent teeth grow in correctly. Space maintainers are custom-made appliances that keep the space open until the permanent tooth erupts. This preventive measure helps avoid misalignment and crowding issues that may require orthodontic treatment later.
Orthodontics
Orthodontic care is essential for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues. We provide a variety of orthodontic treatments including traditional metal braces, Invisalign for teens and adults, and specialized care for orthodontic emergencies. Our board-certified orthodontist ensures your child receives the best possible treatment. For detailed information, visit our Orthodontics page.
Metal braces are a time-tested solution for straightening teeth. They are highly effective for treating complex alignment issues and are suitable for children and teens. Modern metal braces are more comfortable and less conspicuous than ever before.
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. This option is perfect for teens who want to improve their smile without the appearance of traditional braces. The aligners are comfortable, easy to clean, and can be removed for eating and brushing.
We also offer Invisalign for parents who wish to straighten their teeth. This treatment is similar to Invisalign for teens but tailored to meet the needs of adults.
Orthodontic care isn't just for kids. We provide specialized orthodontic services for adults, helping you achieve the perfect smile at any age.
We understand that orthodontic emergencies can happen. Whether it's a broken bracket or severe discomfort, our team is here to provide quick and effective treatment to keep your child's orthodontic progress on track.
Restorative Care
Restorative dental care helps to repair and restore damaged teeth, ensuring your child’s smile remains healthy and functional. Our restorative services include:
Dental fillings are used to treat cavities and restore the integrity of a tooth. We offer tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your child's natural teeth, providing both functionality and aesthetics.
In cases where a tooth is too damaged to be saved, an extraction may be necessary. Our team ensures that extractions are performed gently and safely, minimizing discomfort for your child.
Crowns are used to restore teeth that are severely damaged or decayed. They cover the entire tooth, providing strength and protection while restoring its shape and function.
Root canals are necessary when the pulp of a tooth becomes infected or damaged. This procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection.
A pulpotomy is a procedure used to treat decay that has reached the tooth's pulp but has not yet infected the root canals. It involves removing the affected pulp tissue and preserving the healthy part of the pulp, allowing the tooth to remain functional.
Cavities are holes or structural damage in the teeth caused by decay. They develop when the enamel (the hard outer layer of the tooth) is worn away by acids produced by bacteria in the mouth. If left untreated, cavities can cause pain, infection, and even tooth loss.
Sedation Dentistry
To make dental visits stress-free, we offer various sedation options such as laughing gas, oral sedation, and general anesthesia. These services are particularly beneficial for children with anxiety or special needs.

For more extensive procedures or highly anxious patients, general anesthesia ensures a completely stress-free experience.
