Emergency

Stay calm. Focus on stopping the bleeding and protecting the injured tooth or area by following the appropriate instructions in this section.

Teledentistry / Virtual Screening

Teledentistry, or virtual screening, is an easy way to consult with a dentist from your smartphone, tablet or computer

Crowns

A dental crown restores a tooth's shape, size, and strength. It fully encases the visible portion of your tooth or dental implant.

Dental Hygiene

Routine dental checkups are vital to good oral hygiene and are the best way to detect problems at their earliest stages which saves unnecessary discomfort, time, and money.

Fillings

A filling repairs and restores the surface of a tooth that has been damaged by decay, fracture, or wear.

Gum Disease / Periodontics

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection of the gums and tissues that support your teeth. It is caused most often by the build-up of plaque and tartar when teeth are not routinely brushed and flossed.

Root Canal / Endodontics

An endodontic treatment saves a severely injured, cracked, or decayed tooth when its pulp becomes inflamed or infected. If it is not treated promptly, pain or a tooth abscess results. Endodontic treatment is also known as a "root canal."

Teeth Whitening

Tooth whitening enhances the brightness of natural teeth; but it's not for everyone. Discuss it with your Dentist before you take action.

Veneers

A veneer improves the appearance of the visible front surface of a tooth by covering it with a wafer-thin, custom-made shell of tooth-colored porcelain.
