Services
IV Sedation
IV sedation provides deep relaxation for anxious patients during dental procedures. Administered intravenously, it allows patients to remain conscious but pain-free, with minimal memory of treatment. Ideal for complex or lengthy procedures, this method ensures comfort while maintaining safety through controlled dosage. Patients require a driver due to post-procedure drowsiness.
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer permanent solutions for missing teeth using titanium posts fused to the jawbone. This restores natural chewing function and prevents bone loss. Custom crowns or bridges are attached for seamless aesthetics. Implants require good oral health and sufficient bone density, assessed during initial consultations.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth using removable, transparent aligners tailored to individual needs. Gradual tooth movement occurs over weeks, with new aligners every two weeks. This discreet option suits adults and teens seeking orthodontic correction without metal braces, requiring 20-22 hours daily wear for optimal results.
Teeth Whitening (Zoom)
Zoom teeth whitening uses hydrogen peroxide gel activated by light to remove stains in one-hour sessions. Safe for enamel, it addresses discoloration from food, age, or medications. Results last years with proper care, though sensitivity may occur temporarily. Maintenance kits are available for prolonged effects.
Emergency Dental Care
Emergency care addresses sudden dental trauma, infections, or severe pain outside regular hours. Services include treating cracked teeth, lost fillings, abscesses, and knocked-out teeth. Prompt intervention prevents complications, with same-day appointments prioritized to alleviate discomfort and restore oral health.

I was sedated and had dental work… done this past Tuesday which was scheduled for two weeks prior but because I caught a cold and was going to be sedated it was rescheduled as they didn’t feel it was in my best interest to be sedated since I would have to be given oxygen while
