Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium posts fused with jawbone tissue. This service restores chewing function and prevents bone loss while offering natural-looking aesthetics. Our practice utilizes advanced imaging technology to ensure precise implant placement and long-term success.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments effectively remove stains and discoloration using safe, dentist-approved bleaching agents. We offer customized take-home trays and in-office treatments to achieve dramatic results while minimizing sensitivity. Our solutions maintain enamel integrity while enhancing your smile's natural beauty.
Porcelain Veneers
Custom-crafted porcelain veneers address cosmetic dental imperfections including chips, cracks, and misalignment. This service combines artistry with durable materials to create natural-looking, stain-resistant smile transformations. Each veneer is precisely fabricated to match patients' facial aesthetics and bite requirements.
Root Canal Treatment
Advanced root canal therapy removes infected dental pulp while preserving natural tooth structure. Using modern techniques and precise instrumentation, we eliminate pain and prevent reinfection. This service saves teeth that would otherwise require extraction, maintaining patients' natural bite alignment.
Emergency Dental Care
Immediate care for dental trauma including chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth. Our emergency services prioritize pain relief and tissue preservation using rapid intervention protocols. We accommodate urgent cases during regular business hours and provide guidance for after-hours dental emergencies.

The absolute best .....Everyone there from Terry to Dr. Barkin and my hygienist Liz i wouldnt go any where else unless i was forced to . They are like family and Dr. Barkin is so helpful and good. When other dentist were trying to make all sorts of money off me he was realistic and practical and so down to earth. I am thankful and grateful for this practice. I highly recommend to anyone period.

On a flight from Tampa to Rhode Island a nagging tooth problem was agitated by the flight. I was in severe pain and out of luck found this dentist. His staff was wonderful and he was great as well. I was very thankful that he stayed open late and helped me out.
