Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts inserted into the jawbone to replace missing teeth roots. This solution prevents bone loss while providing natural-looking, permanent tooth replacement through porcelain crowns. Implants offer superior durability and aesthetics compared to traditional dentures or bridges, restoring both function and confidence in eating, speaking, and smiling.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners made from SmartTrack material to straighten teeth without traditional braces. This orthodontic treatment addresses crowding, spacing, and bite issues through customized, gradual tooth movement. The system allows normal eating and cleaning routines while providing predictable results for both teens and adults seeking discreet smile correction.
Emergency Care
We provide immediate treatment for dental emergencies including broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, severe toothaches, and jaw injuries. Our after-hours emergency service ensures prompt care while offering home care instructions for pediatric dental trauma. Treatment focuses on pain management, infection prevention, and restoring dental integrity following unexpected oral injuries.
Prosthodontics
Prosthodontic treatments include crowns, bridges, dentures, and veneers that restore missing or damaged teeth. These solutions improve both function and aesthetics through custom-fabricated replacements that mimic natural tooth structure. Comprehensive care addresses complex dental conditions while maintaining proper bite alignment and facial aesthetics.
Snore Guards
Custom-fitted TAP (Thornton Adjustable Positioner) devices treat snoring and mild sleep apnea by maintaining airway patency during sleep. This non-invasive solution avoids surgery or CPAP machines while allowing positional adjustments for optimal effectiveness. The 95% success rate device improves sleep quality without compromising comfort.

Myself and my family have been going to Dr. Gentry for over 25 years and I cant imagine going to any other dentist. Not only is he a great dentist he also has a great personality and sincerely cares about his patients. I retired a few years ago and live an hour and a half from his dental practice and it is so worth the drive. Dr. Gentry is the best !

Best Dentist EVER! I have been seeing Dr Gentry for my teeth since 1999. He is CONSISTENTLY kind and ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT HIS PATIENTS. Since then i have brought 6 kids to him and they all love him. They were immediately at ease right away. The entire staff is fantastic. It seriously feels like family. I sure miss the ones who have moved on but these hygienist stepped right in and we never missed a beat. I cant believe how much they remember about all of us but they do. They care, and it shows!
