WHY CHOOSE US?

Silver Diamine Fluoride
Fluoride is a natural mineral used in dentistry to help strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. It is commonly applied during dental cleanings or found in toothpaste and drinking water to protect teeth from decay. Silver diamine fluoride is also used to treat sensitive teeth. If this is a good option for your child, our dentist can talk to you about the advantages and disadvantages, so you can decide for yourself whether this makes sense for your child.
Special Needs Dentistry
Special needs dentistry focuses on providing dental care for patients with physical, developmental, emotional, or cognitive conditions that make routine dental treatment more challenging. Dentists in this field use specialized techniques and accommodations to ensure safe, comfortable, and effective care tailored to each individual’s unique needs.

Pediatric Dentistry
Pediatric dentists specialize in services that take care of young infants, children, and adolescents, ensuring that their oral healthcare is progressing smoothly throughout their formative years.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures, making the experience more comfortable and anxiety-free. It’s especially helpful for those with dental fears, low pain tolerance, or who need extensive treatment.
Tongue Ties
A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that removes or alters a frenum, the small fold of tissue that can restrict movement in the mouth, such as under the tongue or upper lip. This treatment can help improve speech, breastfeeding, and oral function, especially in children with tongue or lip ties.
