Services
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells custom-crafted to refine tooth shape, shade, and symmetry. They correct chips, gaps, and discoloration with minimal tooth preparation. Our hand-layered veneers mimic natural translucency for a luminous, camera-ready smile in as few as two visits.
SureSmile Aligners
SureSmile aligners offer discreet, doctor-guided teeth straightening with predictable outcomes. Using digital scans, we create personalized plans for efficient tooth movement. These removable aligners provide comfort and flexibility while addressing crowding, spacing, and bite issues.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction combines veneers, crowns, orthodontics, and implants to restore function and aesthetics. Digital previews allow staged treatment planning tailored to your timeline. This comprehensive approach addresses wear, damage, or missing teeth for transformative results.
Teeth Whitening
Our in-office Zoom! whitening lifts deep stains safely in under an hour. Sensitivity-smart protocols ensure comfort, with take-home options for maintenance. Results last longer when paired with proper oral care and avoidance of staining agents.
TMJ Treatment
TMJ treatment alleviates jaw pain, headaches, and muscle tension through precise diagnostics. Customized plans may include physical therapy, orthotics, or arthrocentesis. Non-surgical options are prioritized to restore joint function and prevent long-term complications.

Loved this dentist! Very nice looking location/office. Super friendly and professional staff. I felt like they truly cared and made sure I understood everything going on with my teeth and our plan. Affordable. Plus they do Invisalign, & have a sleep wellness center there too. Full service! Never going to another dentist again!

I've been going to Dr. Smallwood for over 30 years and would never go anywhere else. He's the very best. Both of my children see him, as well as my son-in-law, and so do by 3 grandchildren. It's a family affair! Thank you for the professional care and for always being on time, compassionate and caring.

I have been going to this office for over 17 years. Outstanding dentist, competent and kind. It is a relative pricey service but the service is very good. There seems to be a relative high turn over rate regarding medical assistants but all of them without exception have been very competent. The service is provided 3 days a week. I wish it were 5 but emergency services seem readily available if one needs them. a drawback. some nagging by some over protective dental assistants. stressing ad infinitum my shortcomings on my dental practices. once it is necessary, welcomed and enough. We are not children

Great atmosphere, great staff, very friendly. Dr Smallwood was recommended by another dentist as we have just moved to the area. I would recommend him to anyone.
