Comfortable, gentle and relaxing care
Along with giving you friendly service, we really pay attention to your questions and concerns and don’t rush through the visit. We take the time to explain any procedure before starting it – we want you to have the reassurance of making informed decisions about your treatment.
We understand that the idea of going to the dentist can make a person feel apprehensive, so it’s important to us to make your visits relaxing. For this reason, we provide blankets, pillows, TVs and even massage chairs for your comfort.
We’re experienced at using gentle techniques for any needed injections to keep your treatments as painless as possible.
Panoramic X-rays are used to get a detailed look at your teeth and gums.
High-tech dentistry
Much advancement has been made in dental technology in the last decade. We utilize state-of-the-art equipment to make your treatment more accurate and comfortable than ever. For example, lasers have become an indispensable tool that has eliminated much of the discomfort of earlier techniques. Our skillful hygienists are equipped with the latest in cleaning tools, making teeth cleaning easier, gentler and more effective than in the past.
Missing teeth? We have the solution
A dental implant is a titanium post that is inserted into the bone and is used to support a dental restoration, such as a porcelain crown, bridge or denture. There are both health and cosmetic advantages to dental implants as compared to other tooth replacement options.
Prosthodontist, Dr. William Roe has been placing dental implants for over ten years and has placed hundreds of dental implants for his patients. He will explain all of your options for replacing your missing teeth in a complimentary dental implant consultation.
Dentistry for the whole family
We love helping families and welcome you and your small ones, as well as seniors. Each age group has its own dental challenges, and we are trained and experienced in helping patients from 2 to 92 (or more).
