Services
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services focus on preventive care and early intervention to maintain long-term oral health. We offer routine cleanings, oral cancer screenings, fluoride treatments, and digital X-rays to detect issues before they escalate. By emphasizing regular check-ups, we help patients avoid complex dental problems while ensuring optimal hygiene. This foundational care is essential for preserving natural teeth and preventing costly interventions.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry addresses damaged or missing teeth through solutions like dental implants, crowns, bridges, and fillings. Using CEREC technology for same-day crowns, we restore functionality and aesthetics efficiently. Our approach prioritizes durability and natural appearance, whether repairing minor cracks or replacing entire arches. Treatments are tailored to each patient's anatomy and lifestyle needs.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry transforms smiles through teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and smile makeovers. We combine artistry with science to address discoloration, misalignment, and structural imperfections. Clear aligners straighten teeth discreetly, while Botox treatments enhance facial aesthetics. Our goal is to boost confidence through personalized, minimally invasive improvements that complement facial features.
Emergency Dentistry
Emergency dentistry provides immediate relief for dental trauma, infections, and severe pain. Available for urgent cases like knocked-out teeth, broken restorations, or abscesses, our team offers same-day appointments. We utilize advanced imaging and sedation options to ensure comfortable, effective treatment while preventing complications from delayed care.
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer permanent tooth replacement by integrating titanium posts with the jawbone. This solution prevents bone loss while providing stable support for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Our process includes comprehensive planning, guided surgery, and CEREC technology for same-day restorations. Implants restore full functionality and aesthetics, mimicking natural teeth in form and function.

Dr. Shannon and the staff took such care for us in an already new season of parenthood with the unknowns around lip- and tongue-tie revisions. We felt known and heard from the moment we walked in the door with a personalized sign welcoming us in to the post-procedure recommendations that set us up for success beyond the several appointments we had. Highly recommend for your family!

Dr Shannon is amazing as are the staff and clinical support team! Everyone was kind, compassionate, and understanding. Dr Shannon was very knowledgeable, competent and thorough excellent bedside manner and, with our little 8 week old having to have a procedure, put our concerns to rest before the procedure and prepared us well for the healing and recovery process. Cant recommend them enough!

Judging by the other posts here, the OShea team doesnt need another rave review from me but I have a different insight to share. In these pandemic times, even though triple-vaxxed I still have concern for Covid with my mask off for dental procedures, but cant stay away because my teeth are a hot mess! I was in recently and took my CO2 monitor which measures rebreathed air (good proxy for Covid risk indoors). I couldnt believe the readings. The CO2 levels measured in the low 500s in waiting and treatment rooms great indoor numbers, actually close to outdoor readings. This means
