Services
Biological Dentistry
Our biological approach considers oral health's connection to overall wellness. We use biocompatible materials and mercury-safe removal techniques while addressing systemic impacts of dental treatments. This method supports natural healing processes through ozone therapy and non-toxic materials.
Airway Evaluation
We assess oral structures affecting breathing patterns using cone beam CT imaging. This evaluation helps identify airway restrictions impacting sleep quality and overall health. Treatment plans may include orthodontic interventions or myofunctional therapy to improve breathing function.
Tongue Tie Release
Our CO2 laser procedure addresses restrictive frenulums affecting feeding and speech development. We specialize in infant frenectomies with post-operative therapy support. This treatment improves oral function while minimizing discomfort through advanced laser technology.
Dental Implants
We offer ceramic implant solutions for missing teeth restoration. Our process includes 3D imaging for precise placement and biocompatibility testing for optimal material selection. These metal-free implants integrate naturally with your oral environment for lasting results.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our artistic approach combines veneers, whitening, and Invisalign to create aesthetically pleasing smiles. We use CEREC technology for same-day restorations while maintaining natural tooth structure. Each treatment plan considers facial harmony and long-term oral health.

We have been seeing Dr Humphrey for few years now and highly recommend him. He and his staff are so very patient with kids, walking them through the whole process, checking in often to make sure they are doing ok. He does fillings so well my kids don't even need numbing at times, and he offers many options to save teeth and has lots of advice for oral health, that I know his advise regarding any work done is going to be wise and worth following.

Our entire family LOVES it here! And what an atmosphere! This place doesn’t look or feel like a scary dental office. They were even able to clean my 2 year old’s teeth because of how kind and patient they are. 10/10 recommend.

Our family has been clients for several years and we've all had great experiences. From those of us who needed a little extra reassurance to those of us who needed a lot of work done, every person we came into contact with was professional and caring and did a great job.
