Preventive Dentistry
Our preventive care includes bi-annual checkups, professional cleanings, and protective treatments like fluoride applications. We emphasize early detection of dental issues through comprehensive examinations and digital radiography. Our team educates patients on proper oral hygiene techniques to maintain optimal dental health between visits.
Dental Implants
We offer complete dental implant solutions including single tooth replacements, implant bridges, and All-On-4 procedures. Our restorations use biocompatible titanium posts with natural-looking ceramic crowns. The treatment process involves careful planning using advanced imaging technology to ensure optimal placement and long-term success.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic services transform smiles through porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and direct bonding procedures. We create customized treatment plans to address discoloration, chips, gaps, and misshapen teeth while maintaining natural aesthetics and functional integrity.
Sleep Apnea Therapy
We diagnose and treat obstructive sleep apnea using custom-fitted oral appliances that maintain airway patency during sleep. Our approach offers a comfortable alternative to CPAP machines through personalized oral appliance therapy with ongoing effectiveness monitoring.

Dr. Carter and team are excellent! They are detailed oriented, caring, professional and thorough. Dr. Carter, Cheryl, and Sherry have taken great care of my mouth since I came to them in tears with tooth issues, and I can now say I am pain free thanks to their great work and recommendations! Jen is also always very helpful and positive! They are flexible with scheduling and always try to get you in to see them when needed. I highly recommend this dental office!

My family has been going to Dr. Carter for years. We have found all of them to be quite friendly but professional. They have taken care of all our dental needs and work really well with handling our insurance. Yes! Would recommend them.

Report
I first met Dr. Carter when he was practicing in Allentown. As a resident of Coplay I was very disappointed when he opened his practice in Topton. A 45 minute drive is a long way to go for a dental appointment! The truth is Dr. Carter and his staff are so friendly and accommodating as well as up to date on the latest techniques so I had to follow him when he moved. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Carter, Cheryl, Sherry, and Jenn. A visit to their office is like seeing family for me. They are family oriented and ALWAYS make time to take care of my dental needs whenever I need them. I am a Carter patient for life!

Report
After starting with a new dentist that takes my insurance I was told I had a badly chipped tooth that Dr. Carter never fixed, I also had $6000.00 worth of periodontal disease Dr. Carter never told me about. I had been going to Dr. Carter for over 5 years and nothing was ever said. My advice get a second opinion or a better dentist!
