Services
Orthodontics
Our orthodontic treatments address misaligned teeth and jaws using traditional braces, Damon systems, and advanced clear aligner technology. Dr. Frank creates customized treatment plans for patients aged 6-75+, utilizing 3D imaging and digital planning tools. Treatments focus on improving bite function, facial aesthetics, and long-term oral health through precise tooth movement techniques.
Pediatric Dentistry
Specialized dental care for infants through teenagers includes preventive checkups, restorative treatments, and emergency care. Our pediatric dentists use child-friendly approaches with nitrous oxide sedation options and minimally invasive techniques. Services range from routine cleanings to complex procedures like space maintainers and tongue-tie releases in a welcoming environment designed for young patients.
Clear Aligners
Spark Clear Aligners offer discreet orthodontic treatment using custom-made, removable trays. This technology corrects alignment issues without traditional brackets through sequential tray changes every two weeks. Treatment includes digital 3D imaging for precise planning and is suitable for minor corrections to comprehensive realignment cases, with options for limited treatment plans.
Preventive Care
Comprehensive preventive services include dental cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants to protect against decay. We offer SDF (silver diamine fluoride) applications for cavity prevention and ICON resin infiltration for early enamel damage. Our approach emphasizes patient education on proper oral hygiene and dietary habits to maintain optimal dental health between visits.
Tongue Tie Treatment
Specialized care for tethered oral tissues uses CO2 laser technology for minimally invasive releases. This treatment addresses feeding difficulties in infants and speech/developmental issues in children through precise tissue correction. Post-operative care includes therapeutic exercises and follow-up monitoring to ensure proper healing and functional improvement in eating, speaking, and breathing patterns.

Questions
What age should my child first visit the dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child's first dental visit by age one or within six months of their first tooth erupting, whichever comes first.
Do you offer sedation options for anxious patients?
Yes, we provide nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for anxious children and offer IV sedation with a dental anesthesiologist for more complex cases, ensuring comfortable treatment experiences for all patients.
Are clear aligners covered by insurance?
Orthodontic coverage varies by policy, but if your plan includes braces coverage, clear aligners are typically covered to the same extent. Our team will verify your specific benefits before treatment begins.
What should I do for a dental emergency after hours?
While we don't offer 24/7 emergency services, we provide post-operative care instructions and can be reached during business hours for urgent dental issues. For after-hours emergencies, we recommend contacting your regular physician or local emergency facility.
How do you make dental visits less intimidating for children?
Our ocean-themed office creates a calming environment with child-friendly decor. We use positive reinforcement techniques, explain procedures in kid-friendly terms, and allow parents to accompany children during treatments to create positive dental experiences.
What technology do you use for orthodontic treatment planning?
We utilize 3D digital imaging and computer-aided design to create precise treatment plans. This technology eliminates traditional impressions and allows for accurate visualization of tooth movement throughout the orthodontic process.
