Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Our practice offers comprehensive implant dentistry services including consultation, placement, and restoration. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, speech clarity, and facial structure preservation while maintaining oral health through durable, biocompatible solutions.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services deliver safe, effective smile enhancement through customized treatment plans. We offer both in-office and take-home whitening options using advanced formulas that remove deep stains while minimizing sensitivity. Patients achieve visibly brighter smiles with results lasting years when following recommended maintenance protocols.
Orthodontic Treatment
Comprehensive orthodontic care addresses teeth alignment and bite issues for improved oral health and aesthetics. Our practice provides traditional braces, clear aligners, and early intervention treatments for children and adults. Properly aligned teeth enhance chewing efficiency, reduce wear patterns, and contribute to long-term dental wellness.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal treatment preserves damaged or infected teeth through precise removal of affected tissue followed by sealing and restoration. Our dentists use modern techniques to ensure patient comfort while eliminating pain and preventing further infection. This procedure maintains natural tooth structure and avoids extraction requirements.
Preventive Care
Regular preventive dental services including cleanings, exams, and oral cancer screenings form the foundation of lifelong oral health. Our hygienists provide thorough plaque removal, fluoride treatments, and personalized home care guidance to prevent decay and gum disease while promoting early detection of potential issues.

My family and I have about ten years of experience visiting Total Family Dentistry. and have been seen by almost every staff member on site. We've had nothing but excellent service experience from each and everyone. We've had all kinds of dental work done here without any issues! We've recommended to our friends and extended family. and they all are very greatly appreciative for recommending and extremely happy with their experience. Dr. Gus and Dr. Baker which we've mostly visited are amazing people always putting a lot of effort into their work. And the hygienist all have great personalities and love their job!

It makes me sad that others have had a bad experience but my experience has been excellent. In fact so good that my wife switched after me and we send our daughter there too. The dental hygienist is the best I have ever had and even has you bring in your toothbrush and she'll help you figure out if you're missing spots when you brush and other tips. Her personality is great and she truly loves her job, and you can tell. My family does not have any major dental problems so our experience with the dentist is limited to standard checkup stuff. But the hygienist is 1 in a million!

They told my brother he needed to take his tooth out cause it was too late to save it. Then the rude male dentist sat down with my brother and proposed implants and took all his time to talked about money-- How much it will cost each options. And pressure him to take his tooth that day. He, didn't do and went to see a REAL Doctor dentist. The new dentist told him the tooth could be saved. He had a paint free root canal, no crown.

His tooth is like new. That was 3 years ago. Do not go to these dentist They are crooks and incompetent, and can they care less about sending you to specialist or saving your tooth. They are a perfect exhibit A of all that is wrong with our health care system in our country. I saw a documentary recently how Americans are going to Mexico to get quality dental health care. Sad.
