Services
Veneers
Porcelain veneers restore damaged or misshapen teeth with natural-looking, stain-resistant shells. Custom-crafted for each patient, they address gaps, discoloration, and alignment issues. Our process ensures minimal tooth preparation while maximizing aesthetic results, providing durable, confidence-boosting smiles.
Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium posts fused to the jawbone. Implants support crowns, bridges, or dentures, preventing bone loss and restoring full chewing function. Our precision-driven placement ensures long-term stability and seamless integration with natural teeth.
Teeth Whitening
Safe, effective whitening treatments combat staining from age, diet, or lifestyle. In-office procedures deliver visible results in under an hour, while customized take-home kits offer gradual brightening. We use FDA-approved products to protect enamel integrity during treatment.
Teeth Straightening
Invisalign and Clear Correct systems straighten teeth discreetly using removable, BPA-free aligners. Digital planning maps precise tooth movement, with new trays every few weeks. This method reduces treatment time compared to traditional braces while maintaining oral hygiene accessibility.
General Dentistry
Comprehensive checkups, cleanings, and early disease detection form the foundation of lifelong oral health. We emphasize patient education on hygiene techniques and nutrition, paired with digital diagnostics to identify cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer risks.

I have to say, the dentist is not my favorite place to be. However, it is a great feeling knowing you are in good hands. Dr. Blessitt is an excellent dentist. He and his staff are very welcoming and caring. I can't say enough about my experience!

Both Dr Blessitt and his staff appear to be very competent and caring. For years I had more dental issues then I want to remember now. Dr Blessitt took care of.everything including a care schedule for repair, extractions, implants, basically the whole works. I never had real discomfort and even dealing with some implants was easier than I had anticipated. Payments were charged along the way based on treatment performed, not payment in full as is pretty common nowadays. All staff are very professional. I highly recommend a "maintenance" schedule with Dr Blessitt's hygienist Ms. Sharon Faust. She is tops.

Sharon gives a great cleaning! Dr. Blessitt is wonderful! He has done a lot of work on my teeth. He always explains everything that's being done and why. He has had a couple challenges on my teeth and he performed the job with expertise! His assistant Danielle is also excellent and very caring. A great team! I highly recommend.
