Is This Your First Dental Appointment?
Come a few minutes early to fill out a medical / dental questionnaire to help us better meet your dental and oral hygiene needs. First dental appointments may take a bit longer (usually 1.5 hours) as both the dental and dental hygiene team will want to get to know you, do a thorough oral exam, and take any required x-rays.
If you are transferring to us from another dentist, we will help arrange to have your dental records transferred to us with your permission. Contact us before your first appointment so we may receive those records prior to your scheduled time. Bring all your insurance information with you so we can assist you in receiving your dental benefits on a timely basis.
From the moment you step into our office, you will notice how friendly and knowledgeable the staff is. Our staff will understand your needs and provide a high standard of healthy oral care. We look forward to meeting you and are committed to taking care of all your dental needs!

FAQs
Silver Fillings known as Amalgam have been around for decades. Made from a metal alloy, it was the best restoration for fillings. The metal expands and contracts with the heat and cold placed in the mouth. This allowed for little bacteria to enter a tooth once filled; keeping the tooth healthy and strong.
White Fillings, also known as composites are often made of plastic or glass polymers. These cosmetic fillings allow us to fill a cavity with a substance that will look and feel just like your existing tooth structure. This restoration is created with a resin material and fits tightly into a tooth to prevent decay. Rather than a gray or silver material in your mouth, the composite color will match the tooth color.
- Dental Implants look and function like your natural tooth.
- Dental Implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth.
- Dental Implants are maintained by routine hygiene visits to your dental office.
- Dental Implants decrease the possibility of bone loss, periodontal disease, tooth movement, and further tooth loss.
- Dental Implants replace the need for a Removable Full or Partial Denture.
- Dental Implants focus only on the tooth or teeth that are missing. A traditional bridge would involve the two or more adjacent teeth being compromised to create a false tooth in between.
With major advancements in Dentistry and Dental Implants, most people are candidates for Dental Implants. There may be exceptions due to chronic illness, heart disease, and severe osteoporosis.
The average Dental Implant Procedure takes 3-4 visits. The first visit is to x-ray the area and takes an impression for a surgical guide and a temporary prosthesis to cover the Implant.
The next visit is to place the Implant. A local anesthesia is applied to the area. (Any additional sedation is no longer necessary unless deemed by the dentist). The dentist will then make a minor incision to place the implant. The implant is placed into the jaw bone. The area will then be covered with sutures. The procedure is usually completed with minor pain.
You will next return in approximately 3 months to begin creating the Porcelain Crown to place over the Implant.
Fees from Dental Implants vary from dentist to dentist. Always schedule an Implant Consultation to discuss the procedure and all fees involved.
With routine dental hygiene scheduled and proper home care, a Dental Implant can last approximately 30 years to a lifetime.
