We offer a full range of preventive care and general dentistry, cosmetic and restorative dentistry, and treatments for complex dental problems. We will help coordinate insurance benefits to make financial arrangements easy for you.
On your first visit, we provide:

A comprehensive exam, which includes an examination of the mouth for cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues; oral cancer screening; checking your blood pressure; and making necessary radiographs (x-rays).

For Infants and Children
Your child’s first visit with us should be within six months after the first tooth comes in and no later than the first birthday. This visit is considered a “well baby checkup” for teeth. If you observe discolorations, swellings, or anything else abnormal surrounding the teeth or gums, please call to set an appointment right away.
During the exam, your child will have a thorough examination which will be completed by your dentist. This includes:
-
A friendly visit (You can tell your young child, “The dentist will count your teeth, take some pictures of your teeth, and may shine your teeth.”)
-
Evaluation of past medical and dental problems, which may affect treatment
-
Examination of the teeth and gums
-
Cleaning (prophylaxis) which may be done to prevent tooth decay
-
Necessary x-rays- you will be informed of the type of radiographs and the diagnostic benefit as determined by the doctor
-
Treatment planning according to findings and patient needs
