Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium post integration with jawbone. Our dentists ensure natural-looking crowns match existing teeth while preventing bone loss. Ideal for single or multiple tooth replacements, implants restore chewing function and facial structure. Patients benefit from improved speech and confidence compared to traditional dentures.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer minimal to moderate sedation options for anxious patients undergoing dental procedures. Nitrous oxide and oral sedatives help create comfortable experiences while maintaining patient responsiveness. This service enables completion of complex treatments in fewer visits, particularly beneficial for those with dental phobias or sensitive gag reflexes.
Composite Fillings
Mercury-free composite fillings repair decayed or damaged teeth with durable, aesthetic materials. Our dentists match fillings precisely to natural tooth color while preserving more healthy structure than amalgam alternatives. The bonding process strengthens weakened teeth against future fractures, providing long-lasting restorations that blend seamlessly with smiles.
Periodontal Disease
We diagnose and manage gum disease through scaling, root planing, and advanced therapies. Early intervention prevents progression from gingivitis to severe periodontitis, protecting tooth-supporting structures. Patients receive personalized maintenance plans to control bacterial imbalances and reduce systemic health risks associated with untreated gum disease.
Dental Crowns
Custom porcelain crowns restore severely damaged teeth after root canals, fractures, or extensive decay. Our dentists design crowns to mimic natural tooth anatomy while providing structural reinforcement. The two-visit process ensures precise fit and bite alignment, offering both functional protection and cosmetic enhancement for compromised teeth.

I had the best experience today at Riverside Dental! I've worked in the dental field for 6 years and was even an office manager at one point and I was so impressed by how this office was run! It was efficient, quick, and an overall great experience. I was greeted with a warm smile by Lori at the front office. She was so friendly and kind! I only waited a few minutes for them to take me back and my hygienist, Laura, was just as amazing!
She was so kind and easy to talk to. She was so gentle and I could tell she really cares for her patients. Dr. Snyder was wonderful and I didn't feel like a number, I felt like an actual patient. He throughly examined my teeth and took his time doing so. They took such great care of me. I would recommend this office to anyone! I wish I could give them 10 stars! :))

I'm sure everyone has had a range of experiences when visiting a dental office. While "best" may be subjective I will go so far as to say my most recent visit to Riverside Dental Care for a filling was the best dental experience I've had so far. The staff were very cordial, professional and skilled. Not only was the procedure pain free but they showed genuine care for my comfort when I had indicated my lips had dried out during the procedure they immediately stopped work and had staff bring me a stick of chapstick to use and keep.
This small act contributed to making my experience overall well above and beyond expectations. Not only will I be back for any further dental needs but I will be strongly advocating that my family and friends consider visiting Riverside Dental Care for their dental needs as well.

I had the most comfortable appointment today! Dr Snyder was amazing! I was terrified and put off dental work because of anxiety. I have never had such a great experience! Thank you for your attention to detail. The office is busy but now I know why! Thanks Tori- assistant- for your calm confidence. The wait is worth it!

I am so grateful I found Riverside Dental, I have hyper sensitive teeth & the doctor & his staff are so understanding & do everything possible to make my visits as pleasant as they can be. I actually for the 1st time in my 54 years was able to have my teeth cleaned with electric tools & had water in my mouth which I have never been able to do all because they tried a new product to help with sensitivity & it truly works! I was so excited that I could get my teeth cleaned & had no pain
