Many things can cause these symptoms, which can make it difficult to diagnose. Possible causes include sinus problems, toothache, arthritis, injury, teeth grinding, gingivitis or problems with your jaw like TMJ. Your dentist will conduct a thorough exam, which may include X-rays, to determine the source of the pain.

We
Care about Kids!
We make children of all ages feel at ease, so bring the whole
family. We use the latest advancements in dentistry that we
deliver to your children with care and compassion. We enjoy your
child’s first visit at age one and look forward to seeing them
change year after year. We always encourage them to take care of
their teeth at home so they have their natural teeth and a
healthy smile for a lifetime.
Calming Dental Fears
We understand that a dental visit can be very fearful for
children. We make our office a happy and relaxed place, and
according to the parents of our young patients, we are
successful in calming their fears and meeting their dental
needs. We are here to help you whether you have a very active
five-year-old or a scared eight-year old.
Choosing
Your Child’s Dentist is Like Choosing Their Pediatrician
It is important to instill good habits at an early age. With
even the smallest cavity, a tooth is permanently damaged and
will require a restoration. Children are more prone to cavities
because of several factors. They often do not brush well in
their formative years. They are still learning good habits, and
we encourage parents to oversee their daily dental care. They
also eat more often throughout the day, which gives additional
exposure to acid (the food produces acid in the mouth) that can
accelerate the development of cavities. Also, if teeth are not
as clean as they should be to begin with, the continual grazing
of more food throughout the day will speed up the rate of cavity
formation.
Encouraging a healthier selection of foods and better hygiene
habits can help. An application of a fluoride varnish at a young
age will mineralize teeth to significantly reduce the occurrence
of cavities.
Preventing
Child Tooth Decay – the Easy Way!
Even proper brushing may miss some of the grooves of the back
teeth. Once bacteria builds up and acids form, plaque will
develop into decay. There is a preventive measure to keep this
from happening. One application of a dental sealant is what is
needed.
First, all the teeth are cleaned and then sterilized. A thin
application of the sealant is applied to all the teeth. It is
clear or white in color and invisible. A curing light is used to
bond the sealant to the teeth. This is the whole procedure,
which takes just a few minutes. No shots or drilling are
necessary, and the entire tooth stays intact. It is safe and one
of the best preventive measures to help keep children‘s and
adolescents’ teeth cavity-free.

Missing
Teeth? Why Not ‘Grow’ New Ones?
Dental implants are tooth-like creations that look like your
real teeth because they come up through the gums instead of
resting on top of them. They are so natural looking no one will
ever know they are not your own teeth. Whether you have missing
teeth in the front or the back of your mouth, they will
recapture your smile and provide full functionality for speaking
and eating.
Even denture wearers can benefit from implants. They can secure
your dentures to eliminate embarrassing slippage and tilting
when eating or speaking. And as a plus, they do not need to be
taken out at night. We handle the entire implant process from
placement of the post to crown fabrication, so you won’t have to
go to another practice.
Immediate Load Implants –
Another Option
We offer our patients both traditional implants and All-on-4™
immediate load implants. All-on-4 means you only need four
implants to permanently hold your dentures in place. In the same
day you can have the implants placed and eat whatever you like.
There is no waiting time for the bone to heal – they can
withstand the pressure immediately.
No longer do you have to wait six months with gaps in your
dental arch. No longer do you have to be referred to an oral
surgeon. No longer do you have to go back and forth from one
practice to the other. We bring you modern dental technology
that makes it quicker and easier for you to keep a smile on your
face.
Overdentures
– The Answer for Slipping Dentures
Overdentures are implants that can also anchor your dentures or
bridge to correct the problems of slippage and trapped food.
They provide the strength and stability of implants, but the
dentures are removable as needed for cleaning and then easily
replaced. We will give you the best fit and a great look. You
will have added confidence with what overdentures will do for
you.

Smile Makeovers
Don’t
Hide Your Smile – Remake It!
We want you to be healthy and feel good about the appearance of
your smile. We combine the best dental health care with the
latest restorative techniques that will give you a beautiful
smile. Makeovers are affordable and much easier than you may
realize. Come into our office and let us show you what bonding,
whitening, crowns, and veneers can do to give you a new,
natural-looking smile.
‘Smile Makeovers’ in as
Little as Two Visits!
If you decided you would have to live with misshapen teeth that
are badly stained or have wide gaps, you will be pleasantly
surprise how advancements in dentistry can change all that. We
offer porcelain veneers that fit over and bond to your teeth to
give you a great new look. They are made of durable dental
ceramic to last for years.
A
Crowning Solution
If a tooth is broken or worn down, a crown would be the
restorative solution. It is made of the highest quality
materials and will look and function as if it were your own
tooth. It will give you a full smile and the ability to chew any
foods you want.
Teeth Whitening – Dazzling
Results!
White teeth are attractive and healthy looking and give you a
radiant smile. It is easier than you may think to once again
have your teeth their whitest. We offer our patients a
professional bleaching process. We make custom trays in our lab
and with the supplies and instructions we give you, you complete
the process at home. It is a safe and effective procedure that
will produce dazzling results in 1 - 14 days.
No Mercury! No Metals! No
Kidding!
If you have silver-mercury amalgam fillings as restorations in
your teeth, you probably don’t like how they look. We use only
modern composite resin fillings that can be matched to the shade
of your tooth color. They are not noticeable when you speak or
laugh and will only add to the attractiveness of your smile.
These are also a much better preventive restoration, as they
bond very tightly to a tooth and actually add to the tooth’s
strength. Metal fillings do not adhere to the tooth structure as
well and eventually leak to allow decay to set in. With the
filling material we use, there is much less chance of future
decay.
