Protecting Your Oral Health
When it comes to oral health, two of the most important factors are your diet and your home hygiene routine.
To keep your teeth healthy, avoid eating too many sugars and other refined carbs. Also avoid acidic foods and beverages, especially sodas and energy drinks that are extremely acidic and filled with sugar. How you eat is also important. Snacking throughout the day or sipping on acidic and sugary drinks all day can increase your risk of cavities and gum disease.
For home hygiene, it’s important to brush your teeth twice daily and floss every day. This will remove damaging oral bacteria from your teeth and gums to protect them from acidic attacks.
The third key factor is making regular dental checkups and professional cleanings. At your checkup and cleaning, your hygienist will clean your teeth, removing hardened plaque deposits, called tartar, that you can’t safely remove at home. Then your dentist will examine your teeth for signs of decay.
Restorative Dentistry
If your dentist detects decay, wear, chipping, or cracking on your teeth, they might recommend restorative dentistry. Our dentists are specialists in using prosthodontics to repair damaged teeth. Some of the restorative procedures we offer include:
- Dental fillings
- Inlay and onlay dental restorations
- Dental bonding
- Dental crowns
- Dental fillings
- Inlay and onlay dental restorations
- Dental bonding
- Dental crowns
We will recommend the restorative procedure that is best for repairing the current damage and safeguarding against future damage.

Family Dentistry
Having a single dental practice that treats your family can be convenient and comforting. You will develop a trusting relationship with your dentist. In addition, your dentist will learn about family-related factors such as genetics and diet that can affect all members of your family. This allows them to anticipate potential problems before they occur.
Mouthguards and Nightguards
Although we perform exceptional restorative dentistry, we also try to help our patients avoid damaging their teeth. Mouthguards can help you avoid damage when participating in sports or other activities. Nightguards can help you avoid damaging your teeth due to clenching and grinding during sleep.

Comprehensive Dentistry
Your mouth is not isolated from the rest of your body. Your oral health can have a significant impact on your overall health, and vice versa. Comprehensive dentistry understands these connections and uses them to help you improve your quality of life.
One aspect of your oral health we pay attention to is the presence of metal amalgam fillings. These fillings have mercury, which is highly toxic. Mercury seeps out of these fillings and concentrates in your body. We offer safe removal of metal amalgam fillings.
