Services
General Dentistry
Our comprehensive general dentistry services include preventive care, restorative treatments, and oral health maintenance. We focus on early detection of dental issues through regular checkups and digital radiography. Our experienced team provides fillings, extractions, and gum disease treatment while prioritizing patient comfort and long-term oral health.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Transform your smile with our cosmetic dentistry solutions including veneers, teeth whitening, and smile makeovers. We utilize advanced techniques like Zoom whitening and porcelain crowns to address aesthetic concerns. Our dentists create customized treatment plans to achieve natural-looking results that enhance facial aesthetics and boost patient confidence.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth. Our Preferred Provider has extensive experience creating customized orthodontic solutions. The removable, nearly invisible trays allow for comfortable treatment while maintaining daily routines, with results typically achieved in 12-18 months for most patients.
Sedation Dentistry
Our sedation dentistry services help patients overcome dental anxiety through conscious sedation techniques. We offer oral sedation options that allow patients to remain responsive while experiencing deep relaxation during procedures. This approach benefits individuals with severe anxiety or those requiring extensive treatments in a single visit.
Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacement solutions through dental implants restore both function and aesthetics. Our implant specialists use titanium posts to create stable foundations for crowns or dentures. The treatment process includes surgical placement followed by osseointegration, resulting in durable, natural-looking replacements that maintain facial structure and chewing capability.

I found Dr Seastrom through yelp. Everyone was extremely polite and helpful. I had an exam, cleaning and filling repair, it went really well, didn't feel anything which is the most important when you see a dentist or getting a dental job done. Highly recommended!
