Services
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening addresses stained or discolored teeth using in-office treatments and take-home kits. Ideal for patients seeking a brighter smile, this service employs advanced bleaching techniques to safely lighten enamel while minimizing sensitivity. Results last up to three years with proper care.
Dental Crowns and Bridges
Crowns and bridges repair damaged teeth and replace missing ones using custom-fabricated prosthetics. Crowns protect weakened teeth post-root canal, while bridges fill gaps using adjacent teeth or implants for support. Porcelain materials ensure natural aesthetics and durability.
Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide sedation reduces dental anxiety during procedures like fillings and extractions. Patients remain conscious but relaxed, with effects wearing off quickly post-treatment. This option suits those with fear of dental visits or low pain thresholds.
Pediatric Dentistry
Specialized preventive and restorative care for children focuses on creating positive dental experiences. Services include cleanings, fluoride treatments, and education on oral hygiene, with techniques to manage anxiety and ensure long-term dental health.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
Targeted therapies address temporomandibular joint dysfunction, alleviating pain and restoring jaw function. Treatments range from custom oral appliances to physical therapy, focusing on non-invasive solutions for chronic discomfort.

Questions
What dental insurance plans do you accept?
We are in-network with Cigna DPPO, Delta Dental Premier, GEHA, and MetLife PDP Plus. We accept other insurances but recommend verifying out-of-network benefits with your provider.

Yes, we use digital X-rays that emit 80-90% less radiation than traditional methods, ensuring safe and accurate diagnostics for adults and children.
What sedation options are available?
We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild to moderate anxiety, allowing patients to remain conscious but relaxed during procedures without lingering effects.
How can I maintain results after teeth whitening?
Avoid staining foods and drinks for 48 hours post-treatment. Practice daily brushing, flossing, and use touch-up kits as recommended to prolong whitening effects.
What services are included in dental checkups?
Checkups include comprehensive exams, digital X-rays, professional cleanings, oral cancer screenings, and fluoride or sealant applications as needed using Guided Biofilm Therapy.
