Dental Crowns
Custom-fabricated dental crowns restore damaged or weakened teeth. These full-coverage restorations protect compromised teeth while improving aesthetics and functionality. Our porcelain-fused-to-metal and all-ceramic options provide durable solutions matching natural tooth color for seamless integration. Crown placement requires two appointments with temporary protection between visits.
Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium posts anchored into the jawbone. This restorative option prevents adjacent tooth shifting while maintaining facial structure integrity. We offer single-tooth implants and implant-supported dentures, utilizing advanced imaging for precise placement. Treatment timelines vary based on individual healing requirements.
Teeth Whitening
Professional-grade whitening systems reduce deep-set stains and discoloration. In-office treatments and take-home trays use hydrogen peroxide formulas for noticeable shade improvement. Custom-fitted trays ensure even application while minimizing gum exposure to whitening agents. Results typically last 1-3 years with proper maintenance.
Bruxism Treatment
Custom night guards protect teeth from clenching and grinding damage. These oral appliances prevent enamel wear while reducing jaw muscle tension. Treatment plans address contributing factors like stress management and sleep patterns. Regular adjustments ensure ongoing protection against bruxism-related complications.
Digital X-Rays
Advanced digital radiography captures high-resolution images with significantly reduced radiation exposure. This diagnostic tool detects decay between teeth, bone loss, and other hidden conditions. Enhanced imaging capabilities support early intervention while minimizing patient exposure to radiation compared with traditional film methods.

Dr Johnson was my dentist for most of my years growing up. I can safely say I would still recommend him as he always has the best interest for the patient always in his mind. He is honest and loyal. Characteristics hard to find in this industry these days.

Dr Ted Johnson and his staff are absolutely wonderful. Not only are they very well informed and very up-to-date on dental practices they are all extremely kind and compassionate. Dr. Johnson and his team always take the time to explain things to you and have your best interest in mind. If you are a bit of a worrier about going to the dentist no worries! They have nitrous oxide if you have high anxiety they will use it to lower your anxiety and make you feel comfortable. I highly recommend Doctor Johnson and his staff for your dental needs.

I've never really enjoyed going to the dentist but the office environment and the staff make it a very warm and comfortable place to visit. They are so genuine and caring that it shows as soon as you enter the door. There is a reason they've been voted best dentist in the valley. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a better experience.

Dr. Ted was recommended to us when our former dentist (retired). Dr. Ted and his staff are great! Both professional and family-like at the same time, they have always done a great job of dentistry AND made us feel like we were their special patients.
