Our Specialties

Orthodontics are used to assist in aligning and straightening teeth in order to not only improve appearance, but to also improve a person’s bite. Orthodontics may be used to correct malocclusions, overbites, underbites, crossbites, deep bites, crooked teeth and other imperfections of the teeth and jaws.

Dental technology has improved over the years to include new options to help correct the above issues, and there are a number of techniques and products available that were not available just a few short years ago. The patient experience has improved and today’s options are less conspicuous than the full braces that were common in the past.

Your visit will begin with a consultation with the doctor to go over the best alternatives for your orthodontic care. The doctor will address any questions you may have regarding your treatment and will provide a plan for orthodontic therapy.

Traditional metal braces are still the most popular types of braces as they produce high quality results. Metal braces made from stainless steel brackets and wires remain the most popular choice for braces and are very effective.

Virtually invisible, there are several advantages clear brackets have over traditional braces and aligners. Clear braces combine tieless braces with high technology archwires that are clinically proven to move teeth fast and comfortably with truly spectacular smile and facial results. Available from skilled orthodontists, clear braces combine the best of traditional clear braces and invisible aligners to deliver a discrete treatment experience with results that go beyond straight teeth.

Invisalign® uses an advanced digital modeling system for the making of custom trays that will guide the patient’s teeth into a beautiful smile.

Once treatment is complete, a retainer is worn for a period of time, usually just at night. The retainer helps maintain the new smile and also allows for small adjustments, if needed, once the braces have been removed.

Your orthodontist will go over the options with you and provide specific instructions on the use of your retainers.

Vital for living a vibrant happy life, normal breathing is effortless and enables our bodies to rest in a restorative, deep sleep that allows us to awake refreshed and ready to take on each new day.

Even with millions of people around the world unable to breathe normally while sleeping, there are still a lot of misconceptions about issues related to sleep and normal breathing. Many do not understand  the long-term  and potentially life-threatening risks of abnormal breathing during sleep. It is important not to ignore the obvious and not-so obvious warning signs that something may be wrong.

Endodontics is the dental specialty that deals with the dental pulp inside of a tooth. Within the dental pulp are the tooth nerves. When a tooth is compromised, the inside can be susceptible to decay. An endodontist treats the inside of the tooth in order to save the tooth structure.

Periodontics is the dental specialty that deals with the hard and soft tissues that support teeth. Periodontal disease refers to gum disease. Periodontal procedures are usually performed to save or rebuild the jaw bone and/or gums in order to save teeth or allow for the placement of dental implants.
