Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles through procedures like teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and dental bonding. We address discoloration, gaps, and misalignment while preserving natural tooth structure. Patients benefit from improved confidence and oral functionality through aesthetically pleasing, long-lasting results.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth using titanium posts fused with jawbone tissue. This prevents bone deterioration while offering stable support for crowns or dentures. Patients regain natural chewing ability and facial structure integrity through our implant dentistry expertise.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative treatments including crowns, bridges, and fillings repair damaged teeth while maintaining oral health. We use tooth-colored materials for seamless integration with natural smiles. These procedures restore functionality and prevent further dental complications through precise, durable solutions.
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry focuses on maintaining optimal oral health through cleanings, exams, and early issue detection. Regular checkups help prevent decay and gum disease while educating patients on proper home care techniques. This proactive approach ensures long-term dental wellness for all ages.
Family Dentistry
Family dentistry provides comprehensive care for patients from childhood through adulthood. We offer pediatric treatments, orthodontic evaluations, and senior-specific dental solutions in a welcoming environment. This continuity of care builds trust and simplifies dental management for entire households.

Report
I had such a great experience at Dr. Sellen's Dental office. At the front desk, Hillary was very friendly and considerate and thoughtful to offer me a drink since it was hot coming from outside. Their Registered dental assistant, Tanaya, was very gentle in taking my X-rays and kept asking me if I was doing ok, and that was very thoughtful of her; I'd salute her for being such a great worker.
Doctor Sellen thoroughly explained my treatment plan very well. I was please that he went over with the great plan with me, which I appreciate so much from him. I'm so happy that I found a dentist that I can settle and trust. Also, I love my hygiene goody bag(a little travel bag with toothpaste, toothbrush, flavored flosses, chapstick & a pen) that they gave me on my first visit. Thank you so much, Dr. Sellen and team. I can't wait to come back.

Feels like family when we visit. It makes a difference when your dentist and everyone there know you and care about you and your family. Karen is awesome and always makes us feel so welcome! Dr. Sellen is very knowledgeable and always makes us feel comfortable when needing to make decisions. All of the staff is always so good to us. Shout out to Lisa, Tanaya and Hillary! Thanks for being such awesome humans!

I recently had to get a tooth filled and was very anxious. Dr Sellen and Tanaya took great care of me and I felt so comfortable. The filling feels great and afterwards Karen checked on me to be sure I was okay. I really recommend this office for the great dental care and personal care. Thank-you so much!
