Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings at Proud To Smile Dentistry remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent decay and gum disease. Our hygienists use specialized tools to clean hard-to-reach areas, polish teeth, and educate patients on preventive care. Regular cleanings every six months are recommended to maintain optimal oral health and detect early signs of issues like cavities or gum inflammation. This service promotes fresh breath and a brighter smile while reducing systemic health risks linked to poor oral hygiene.
Veneers
Custom porcelain veneers at Proud To Smile Dentistry address chips, stains, and gaps for a symmetrical smile. The process involves enamel preparation, impressions, and bonding of thin shells to teeth. Patients receive a trial smile preview before permanent placement. Veneers last 12-15 years with proper care, offering durability and a natural appearance while protecting underlying tooth structure from further damage.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth discreetly using removable plastic aligners. Proud To Smile Dentistry creates personalized plans with digital scans to correct crowding, gaps, and bite issues. Patients wear aligners 20-22 hours daily, switching to new sets every few weeks. Treatment typically lasts 12-18 months, improving both aesthetics and oral function without the visibility of traditional braces.
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth with titanium posts fused to the jawbone, topped with crowns. Proud To Smile Dentistry ensures candidates have healthy gums and sufficient bone density. The multi-month process includes surgical placement and crown attachment, offering a permanent solution that preserves jawbone integrity and mimics natural tooth function for improved chewing and confidence.
Emergency Dentistry
Proud To Smile Dentistry addresses urgent issues like broken teeth, infections, or severe pain with same-day appointments. Treatments may include extractions, fillings, or temporary fixes to alleviate discomfort. Our team prioritizes rapid care to prevent complications, save teeth when possible, and provide follow-up plans for long-term oral health stability after emergencies.

I have been going to Dr. Patti since I was young and she is incredible. I still travel in from NYC to visit her and the team every six months. I cant speak more highly of the teams talent as well as the comfort I feel in their office. Would recommend their practice to anyone and everyone.

I have been seeing Dr. Patti for years. Over the weekend I had a dental emergency and she was kind enough to meet me in the office on a Sunday to help me out. I highly recommend Dr. Patti and her team.

Dr. Patti and her staff are absolutely amazing! They truly care about their patients, and go above and beyond to help under all circumstances, including emergencies. To find a physician truly cares about the well-being of their patients is a rare find, but we have certainly found that in Dr Patti! Blessed to have found her practice!
