Services
Preventative Dentistry
Regular exams and cleanings form the foundation of oral health. Our preventative care includes bi-annual checkups, professional cleanings, and digital X-rays to detect issues early. We educate patients on proper brushing and flossing techniques while monitoring for signs of gum disease and tooth decay.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Transform your smile with veneers, bonding, and professional whitening. We offer porcelain veneers for permanent smile makeovers, composite bonding for minor repairs, and in-office whitening using prescription-grade gels. Each treatment creates natural-looking results that boost confidence and self-esteem.
Restorative Care
Comprehensive solutions for damaged or missing teeth include crowns, bridges, and implant restorations. Our restorative treatments repair structural damage, replace missing teeth, and restore full functionality. We use durable materials that mimic natural tooth appearance and strength for long-lasting results.
Periodontal Treatment
Advanced gum disease therapy involves scaling and root planing procedures. We treat periodontal pockets and infection through deep cleaning below the gumline, followed by root smoothing to prevent bacterial buildup. This specialized care helps preserve tooth and bone structure while improving overall oral health.
Dental Sealants
Protective sealants provide a barrier against decay on back teeth chewing surfaces. Applied in a quick, painless procedure, these thin resin coatings fill deep grooves where food particles accumulate. Particularly beneficial for children, sealants offer lasting protection against cavities in hard-to-clean areas.

Front desk is friendly but don't expect them to ever get back to you through email. It was a bit of a pain to schedule an appointment since it's call only.

I switched here from my previous dentist when the owner of the practice retired and younger doctors I wasn't as comfortable with took his place. Everyone at Terwilliger Dental was welcoming and friendly, and Dr. Hoang definitely knows what she's doing. After my appointment, they sat down with me to map out future treatments and broke down pricing and everything. It was wonderful. I've found my new dentist. :

Been a patient of Dr. Hoang for almost 7 years. I apperciate her knowledge and dental skills and staff. I like how she always engages with me so many different and random topics each time I visit. Its like I never left. Always feels like family vibe there. The staff are always so kind and always wants what is best for the patient. Always giving dental advices as well as personal. Everyone is so very hardworking to giving me the fullest care and I apperciate it very much.
I love when I come in for my routin visits that they greet me like family. Its so sweet! Unfortunately, I will be relocating for work soon and will miss them dearly. I highly recommend Dr. Hoang and her wondeful staff if you are looking for those gental hands, knowledge, and long time companionship. When I am in town, please clean my teeth. XOXO.

This is the worst dentist I have ever been to. I had a dental appointment that this office canceled on me 3 times in one week one hour prior to my appointment. They wanted to service me on a treatment I found out later I didn't need. They wouldn't even accommodate me when I tried to work with them. I highly recommend "stay away!"
