Regular Cleaning
A dental hygienist will remove away plaque and tartar from your teeth using a special instrument. Then, your teeth will be cleaned, polished, and flossed. Regular cleanings are meant for those who do not have excessive plaque or tartar build-up on their teeth.
Deep Cleaning
A deep cleaning is not necessary for every patient.
It is a more complex type of cleaning that is focused on eliminating the excessive build-up of bacteria that causes gum disease. If you have gingivitis or a more severe case of gum disease, you will need a deep cleaning. The roots of your teeth will also be smoothed to eliminate pockets of bacteria.
Porcelain crowns are made to treat damaged tooth when remaining structure is not capable to supporting or retaining a filling. They are indirect restorations that will be cemented over a tooth and cover it completely. Bridges are used to replace missing teeth. It is necessary having teeth on both sides of the space where there is no tooth. Usually they are a porcelain structure of 3 or more crowns together, two of them are known as abutment and in the middle will be the pontic, the abutments will cover adjacent teeth and the pontic will replace the missing one.
A root canal is performed when the soft inner part of a tooth, known as the pulp, is injured, becomes inflamed, or infected. The crown of the tooth — the part you can see above your gums — can remain intact even if the pulp is dead. Removing injured or infected pulp is the best way to preserve the structure of the tooth.
It is a removal of a tooth and it is recommended for different reasons: severe damage to tooth structure, advanced periodontal disease, orthodontic reason, extra tooth, malpositioned or impacted tooth.
Dentures are removable appliences made to replace missing teeth, they are custom-made to fit over patient`s gum. There are 2 main types: full denture, to replace all teeth and partial denture to replace one or a few missing teeth.. This is the most popular and affordable treatment to replace missing teeth. There is also a special denture which is snapped over implants to allow better retention, they are called overdentures.
Dental implants are one of the most popular methods for replacing missing teeth. Implants have a number of advantages over other replacement options.
We place your dental implants and craft the restorations that will fill out your smile and give you a brand-new appearance! You will need an evaluation to find out if you are a candidate for dental implants.

Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, have revolutionized the field of orthodontics by offering a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional braces. These transparent, removable trays are custom-made to gradually straighten teeth without the need for metal wires or brackets. One of the primary advantages of clear aligners is their aesthetic appeal; they are virtually invisible, allowing users to straighten their teeth with confidence. Additionally, clear aligners are removable, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene and enjoy favorite foods without restrictions. In addition to these benefits, clear aligners offer the advantage of faster results compared to traditional braces with no monthly visits to the clinic. Clear aligners utilize advanced technology to precisely plan tooth movements and provide efficient treatment timelines. The custom-made trays are designed to apply targeted pressure to move teeth into alignment more quickly than traditional braces. This expedited timeline, combined with the other benefits of clear aligners, makes them a compelling choice for individuals looking to straighten their teeth efficiently and effectively.
Who doesn't dream of a brighter, more dazzling smile? Very few people have naturally brilliant white teeth as the color of a person's teeth is influenced by many different factors. Whether it's for a special event, a boost of confidence, or just to keep your pearly whites shining, we all aim for that radiant smile. However, not all teeth whitening methods are the same. Sometimes, achieving that desired sparkle requires mixing things up with different techniques. The good news is, we've got you covered with a variety of teeth whitening options to cater to all your dental needs!

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made out of porcelain that are applied to the front surface of the tooth, usually anterior teeth, to improve their appearance. They treat a variety of dental issues such as stains, chips, gaps, misaligned, and uneven teeth.
Botulinum Toxin is a popular injectable treatment used for both therapeutic and cosmetic purposes. By blocking nerve signals that stimulate muscle contractions, Botox provides temporary relief for conditions like TMJ disorders, teeth grinding and jaw clenching, muscle pain, headaches, and migraines. Additionally, it is widely utilized for aesthetic enhancements, smoothing out facial wrinkles such as frown lines, forehead creases, crow's feet, marionette lines, and providing subtle lifting effects like the lip flip and Nefertiti lift (lower face, jaw and neck). Botox offers a minimally invasive solution with great results, making it a versatile option for individuals seeking both functional improvements and rejuvenation in their appearance.
