Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone. This treatment restores both function and aesthetics for missing teeth. Ideal candidates maintain good oral health and sufficient bone density.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet teeth straightening with removable, custom-made aligner trays. This modern orthodontic solution corrects misalignment without traditional metal braces. Treatment duration varies based on individual dental needs.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy saves infected or damaged teeth by removing affected pulp tissue. This procedure preserves natural tooth structure while eliminating pain and infection. Modern techniques ensure patient comfort throughout treatment.
Periodontal Procedures
Comprehensive gum disease treatment includes scaling, root planing, and surgical interventions when necessary. These procedures address bacterial infections affecting tooth-supporting structures. Early intervention prevents tooth loss and maintains oral health.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dental treatments improve tooth appearance through whitening, reshaping, and restorative techniques. Services address discoloration, chips, gaps, and alignment issues. Personalized plans create natural-looking, confidence-boosting smiles.

Report
After years of being with the same dental office, we left. Finding a new one was not as easy a task as we'd hoped. Dr. Iwane's office was the 3rd in three years, and I'm thrilled to have found him. He's great, and so is his staff. He squeezed me in for a toothache, and neither he nor his staff tries to "upsell." Just the treatment and preventive measures necessary. He really is terrific, so I highly recommend him.
