Dentures (Full and Partial)
Periodontal disease, injury and tooth decay can all cause a loss of your natural teeth. However, we can bring back the smile on your face with dentures to restore your missing teeth. With improved technology and updated materials, dentists can now make them appear more natural and more comfortable for the patient. There are two types of dentures: complete and partial. Complete dentures cover the patients entire jaw while partial dentures, with their metal framework, replace multiple missing teeth. Ask our doctor to see which type would be right for you.
Digital Radiographs
The latest in patient safety, comfort and technology. A digital x-ray system uses a digital sensor and takes a radiograph of your teeth and displays it almost immediately on a computer without having to wait for film to develop. The technology requires far less radiation that conventional film and is much safer and convenient.

Do you get up in the morning with a soar jaw? Night guards are the solution. Night guards are worn before going to bed, they prevent teeth from wear due to grinding or clenching.
