Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing tooth roots with titanium posts that support crowns, bridges, or dentures. This solution prevents jawbone recession while restoring natural chewing function and aesthetics. Dr. Bauer customizes implant placement to ensure long-term oral health benefits.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers mask dental imperfections like discoloration and chips with thin, natural-looking shells. This cosmetic solution provides durable, stain-resistant results that enhance smile aesthetics while maintaining tooth structure integrity.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy treats infected or inflamed tooth pulp by removing damaged tissue and sealing the tooth. Using advanced techniques, we ensure comfortable procedures that preserve natural teeth and prevent extraction.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening addresses stains from coffee, smoking, or aging using safe bleaching agents. Customized treatments deliver noticeable results while minimizing sensitivity for a confident, radiant smile.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease treatment addresses bacterial infections through scaling, root planing, and laser therapy. Early intervention prevents bone loss and systemic health complications while restoring gum tissue health.

Dr. Bauer is friendly and is personable. He takes time out of his busy schedule to ask how you are and always explains any procedures very thoroughly. The staff are welcoming and friendly as well. If you are looking for a new dentist, try it out. You will be glad you did.

Bear Creek Family Dentists exemplifies how a dental center should operate. It starts with the front office that are the friendliest, most professional and accomadating you will find. Then the gentile care, knowledge and outstanding results of the hygienists and Dr. Bauer continue to impress me. I've been a client of theirs for decades and highly recommend them.

I have been a patient at Bear Creek Family Dental for well over 20 years. I have always been very satisfied with the dental care I have received. All of my family goes here including my daughter. As a fellow heath care provider, I have no problem referring other patients here. I know they will receive the best in dental care. Dr. Bauer and his entire staff are wonderful, not a single bad experience!
Dr Bauer referred me to an oral surgeon for a possible surgical issue; little did I know that the oral surgeon also uses Dr. Bauer as his personal dentist. There is quite literally no greater compliment

I have been a patient here for 30 years! The second Dr. Bauer is as excellent as the first Dr. Bauer. Office staff is welcoming, responsive, and caring. Dr. Bauer is thorough and extremely knowledgeable, as well as very thoughtful about patient comfort and understanding of procedures. You know you're in good hands in this dental practice.

We have been going to Dr. Bauer since he established his dental facility some years ago. First we were with Dr. Gerald Bauer and now we are grateful to be with Dr. Gregory Bauer. Dr. Bauer and his staff are consistently cheerful, always wanting to help, very competent in their various jobs, and very concerned for their patients. For example, when Dr. Bauer repaired some existing cavities, he would always call in the evening to see how we were doing. Everyone there gives the patient personal attention which makes us feel quite at home. We highly recommend Dr. Bauer to anyone that has dental issues
