Services
Emergency Dentistry
Emergency dentistry addresses urgent oral health issues like knocked-out teeth, severe pain, or broken restorations. Our team prioritizes rapid care to alleviate discomfort and prevent complications. Patients receive immediate attention during office hours, with guidance on preserving teeth during emergencies. This service ensures critical dental problems are resolved swiftly, safeguarding long-term oral health.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening enhances smiles using professional-grade bleaching treatments. We offer in-office Zoom! Whitening and take-home kits tailored to individual needs. The process removes stains caused by food, drinks, or aging, restoring natural brightness. Custom trays and advanced formulas ensure safe, effective results, boosting patient confidence with minimal sensitivity.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth, combining titanium posts with crowns for natural function and appearance. The process involves surgical placement followed by osseointegration, ensuring durability. Ideal for patients seeking stable, long-lasting replacements, implants preserve jawbone health and support facial structure, offering a seamless alternative to dentures.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly using removable, transparent aligners. Custom treatment plans gradually shift teeth into alignment without traditional braces. Patients benefit from comfort, aesthetics, and flexibility, as aligners can be removed for eating and cleaning. This service caters to adults and teens seeking subtle orthodontic improvements.
Family Dentistry
Family dentistry offers comprehensive care for all ages, from pediatric checkups to adult restorative treatments. Services include cleanings, fillings, and preventive education tailored to developmental stages. We emphasize early intervention to establish lifelong oral health habits, creating a welcoming environment for children and adults to build trust and confidence in dental care.

Not all dental hygienists are vaccinated, or believe in science. They (Beta) listen to Joe Rogan, refuse to get vaccinated, have had covid, and believe in misinformation. Ivermectin is not a treatment for covid. Dr. Rhoads should follow evidence based practice, and not let Beta spread misinformation. I also feel patients have the choice if they see a provider who is vaccinated or not. Instead they take that choice from you.
