Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement by anchoring synthetic roots into the jawbone, supporting crowns or bridges. Ideal candidates have sufficient bone density and strong immunity. The process involves surgical placement, healing over six months, and attachment of custom restorations. Implants mimic natural teeth in function and appearance, offering durability and comfort. Patients require strict oral hygiene to maintain success rates.
Crowns and Bridges
Crowns protect weakened teeth after procedures like root canals, while bridges replace missing teeth using anchored prosthetics. Custom-made from porcelain or metal alloys, crowns restore strength and aesthetics. Bridges prevent adjacent teeth from shifting, maintaining bite alignment. The process involves tooth preparation, impressions, and two visits for permanent placement. Both solutions enhance chewing efficiency and smile appearance long-term.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses transparent, removable aligners to straighten teeth without metal brackets. Custom trays gradually shift teeth over months, with new sets every two weeks. Patients wear them 22 hours daily, removing only for eating and cleaning. Computer modeling previews results before treatment. Attachments may be added for precision, but remain nearly invisible. Offers comfort, convenience, and aesthetic benefits over traditional orthodontics.
TMJ Treatment
TMJ treatment addresses jaw pain and dysfunction caused by misalignment or clenching. Options include bite splints, muscle relaxants, and occlusal adjustments. Severe cases may require arthroscopic surgery. We diagnose causes through patient history and imaging, focusing on non-invasive solutions first. Personalized plans aim to reduce headaches, improve jaw movement, and alleviate chronic discomfort through targeted interventions.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry improves smiles through veneers, whitening, and bonding. Porcelain veneers mask imperfections like chips and stains, lasting decades. Professional whitening lifts deep stains for brighter results than OTC products. Treatments are tailored to individual goals, combining aesthetics with functionality. Consultations ensure patients understand options from subtle changes to full smile makeovers.

I used to be scared to go to the dentist, but not anymore . Dr. Herbie and Dr. M, (Dr. Harold Mendelson), are understanding, gentle, thorough, and abve all, understand my pain tolerance issues, or lack thereof. The same goes for the hygienists and the office staff. A great group of people who continue to educate me about the care of my teeth, and always with a good sense of humor.

Since day 1, which has been over 14+ years now, I have ALWAYS had a GREAT experience at Mendelson Family Dentistry!!!! You're probably thinking oh she probably has perfect teeth...nope, well not at first. The first time I went I had an implant consult. I was scared but was treated with care that day, and ever since. Going every 6 months is actually a joy . This is definitely a family environment and I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else!!!!

Mendelson Family Dentistry is staffed with the kindest and friendliest personnel. The moment you walk in the door, you are greeted with a smile and pleasantries. While waiting to be seen, calming music is heard, comfortable chairs are available and beautiful photos are on display taken from all over the world by Dr. H. Ive never had to wait longer than a few moments before I am escorted to the dental chair, which is unheard of. The hygienists and dental assistants are by far the most gentle and professional you could ask for. Dr. H. and Dr. Herbie are the sweetest, most talented and CARING
