Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth through titanium screw placement in the jawbone. This procedure restores chewing function, prevents bone loss, and provides natural-looking results. Ideal candidates include patients with sufficient bone density seeking long-term tooth replacement solutions.
Porcelain Veneers
Custom-crafted porcelain veneers address chipped, discolored, or misaligned teeth by bonding thin shells to tooth surfaces. This cosmetic procedure creates uniform, stain-resistant smiles while preserving natural tooth structure. Patients achieve dramatic transformations with minimal enamel removal.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services use advanced bleaching techniques to remove stains and brighten smiles. Options include in-office treatments and take-home kits with customized trays. Results typically last several years with proper maintenance.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Custom oral appliances treat obstructive sleep apnea by repositioning the jaw to maintain airway patency during sleep. This non-invasive solution reduces snoring, improves sleep quality, and addresses daytime fatigue without requiring CPAP machines.
Periodontal Care
Comprehensive periodontal treatment addresses gum disease through deep cleanings, scaling, and root planing. We focus on preventing tooth loss by managing bacterial infections and promoting gum tissue regeneration using evidence-based protocols.

I have never experienced the level of professionalism, quality and service that is routine when visiting Dr. Lisa Powell. Further, the time she takes with each patient translates not only to an excellent experience, but into superior results as well.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lisa Powell for almost nineteen years and she is without a doubt the most patient, kind and compassionate dentist I have ever used. She has worked diligently to allay my very real fear of dentistry and it has worked! My husband loves her because she uses the water thing to do cleanings thereby eliminating most of the scraping. Dr. Powell is a prosthodontist which means she specializes in dental prostheses(Caps and Bridges). She does beautiful work and my smile is thanks to her. Her office staff treat ever customer like they are the most important customer they have. So glad I found this office.

I broke my two front teeth when I was 18 and needed replacements for health and cosmetic purposes. Dr. Lisa Powell is truly a miracle worker! She is patient and committed to quality and patient satisfaction. Her pricing is very reasonable yet she provides a boutique style experience. She provides very individualized advice and treatment and takes great care to ensure her patients are happy, healthy and smiling!
I have had very bad experiences with dentists in the past. Dr. Powell is an angel for your smile. I can't speak highly enough of her skill and practice! And she has a great sense of humor! You will not go wrong by choosing her to handle your mouth!

Dr. Powell and her staff are very professional, friendly, and go the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable and happy with the outcome of your appointment. I had a partial that had been made by another dentist 3 years ago that was ill-fitting and was giving me a lot of pain. Dr. Powell made me a new partial that has fit perfectly from day one. I have been able to eat anything I want to and have never experienced any pain. I am so thankful to Dr. Powell and her staff and have already recommended Dr. Powell to others.
