Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth with durable, natural-looking solutions. Our practice uses advanced techniques to ensure secure integration with your jawbone, restoring both function and aesthetics. Ideal for patients seeking permanent alternatives to dentures or bridges, implants enhance oral health and confidence. Our team provides comprehensive care from consultation to placement.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers transform smiles by correcting discoloration, chips, or gaps. Thin shells bonded to teeth, veneers offer a stain-resistant, natural appearance. We tailor each case to align with facial aesthetics, ensuring results that enhance your unique smile while preserving tooth structure during preparation.
Teeth Whitening
Our whitening services, including Zoom! Advanced Power, deliver brighter smiles safely. Dr. Nix, trained by the inventor of laser whitening, offers in-office and take-home options. Treatments address intrinsic stains and restore enamel luster, with personalized guidance to maintain results and minimize sensitivity.
Invisalign
Invisalign aligners straighten teeth discreetly using custom-fitted trays. Suitable for teens and adults, this orthodontic solution addresses crowding or spacing without traditional metal braces. We provide phased treatment plans, combining expertise in cosmetic dentistry to optimize bite alignment and aesthetics.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options, including nitrous oxide and oral sedation, ease anxiety for nervous patients. Our team ensures a relaxed experience during procedures like fillings or extractions. Tailored dosages prioritize safety while allowing patients to remain conscious, with post-treatment care instructions provided for recovery.

Susprisingly I had an good afternoon at the dentist. I am not fond of these visits but this was the best experience I have had in quite some time. The hygienist, Maria, was great. Everyone I met was very friendly and helpful.

I have been to several different dentists in my time and Dr. Nix is by far the best I've been to. In this day, most dental offices are large conglomerates and the dentists are being pushed to "upcharge" to secure their positions within the company. (I know this cause my brother is a dentist in a different state). Dr. Nix is honest, cares about you as an individual, and only seeks to do what's needed with regards to your teeth, jaw, and mouth. His bedside manners are top notch and his hygienists follow his leadership. I highly recommend you go see him if your looking for a new dentist.

AWESOME dentist with tons of experience. Staff very very nice and accommodating. i drive past maybe 6 dentists to go to him. Dental work becomes necessary with NO warning usually, so its very reassuring to have a place that will accommodate your schedule.
