Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions for single or multiple missing teeth. Our practice offers comprehensive implant services including surgical placement and custom crown restoration. Patients benefit from improved chewing function and natural-looking results that preserve facial structure.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using clear, removable aligner trays. This orthodontic solution addresses crowding, spacing, and bite issues without traditional metal braces. Patients appreciate the discreet appearance and convenience of removable trays for eating and cleaning.
Pediatric Dentistry
Our pediatric dental services focus on preventive care and early intervention for children. We provide routine checkups, fluoride treatments, and sealants in a child-friendly environment. Our team emphasizes positive reinforcement to establish lifelong oral hygiene habits and reduce dental anxiety.
Emergency Dentistry
We offer same-day appointments for urgent dental issues including tooth pain, broken teeth, and lost fillings. Our emergency care includes diagnostic evaluation and immediate treatment to relieve discomfort. Patients receive clear aftercare instructions and follow-up planning as needed.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options help patients with dental anxiety receive necessary care comfortably. We offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation techniques tailored to individual needs. This service enables completion of complex treatments in fewer visits while maintaining patient safety and comfort.

As always, NDF is a great place to be for dental health and hygiene. I made my appointment for cleaning despite a very bad back pain issue. My hygienist made sure I was completely comfortable before starting. She even found an ice pack for my back! Now, people, that is a caring place to be.they take the same great care when it's your mouth too!
