Dental Implants
Dental implants are permanent solutions for missing teeth, combining titanium posts with custom crowns. They preserve jawbone density and prevent facial sagging. Our board-certified prosthodontist uses CT-guided surgery for precise placement, ensuring functional and aesthetic results that mimic natural teeth.
All-on-4
All-on-4 replaces an entire arch of teeth using four strategically placed implants. This method avoids bone grafting, offering immediate function and aesthetics. Patients receive fixed prosthetics in a single visit, restoring confidence and oral functionality with minimal surgical intervention.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry helps patients overcome dental anxiety through safe, controlled techniques. We offer nitrous oxide and oral sedatives to ensure comfortable experiences during complex or routine procedures, making dental care accessible for nervous individuals.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers address cosmetic issues like discoloration, gaps, and misalignment. Bonded to natural teeth, they create durable, stain-resistant smiles. Our specialists design veneers to match facial aesthetics, providing instant transformation with minimal tooth preparation.
Pediatric Dentistry
Pediatric dentistry focuses on children's oral health from infancy through adolescence. We provide preventive care, early orthodontic assessments, and trauma management in a child-friendly environment, fostering positive dental habits through engaging, compassionate treatment.

Report
5 star to Dr. Lavacca and team. They displayed skill, kindness, and empathy to my dental matter. They made me feel at ease and calmly answered my many questions. 4 star - 1. Long wait. Everyone was apologetic for the delay and the team did not rush during my procedure. Their kindness and caring ways made the delay tolerable. 2. Schedule conflict. Unable to schedule follow-up appointments during my visit. I am confident this hiccup will be resolved in a timely manner. I have been a dental patient at NDS for many years. I have and will continue to refer others to NDS.

Do not go here unless you want to be surprised with a $600 bill for services you received over a year ago! What a scam. I have nothing bad to say about the dentists themselves but their office is a scam. Called to ask why I was billed an unitemized bill for such a large amount and was told that they just updated their database and we had charges that were never covered by insurance from procedures done over a year ago! We always pay our bills and copays, so to receive this out of the blue is absolutely ridiculous. Find another dentist!

Dr. Lidia has been taking care of me for the past decade. Her artistry, professional demeanor, and absolute kindness is second to none. So grateful to have found her!

Care coordination is horrible, she only responds sometimes via email. I received a quote for an implant for $11,000! After I received the quote I had questions but have not received a call back. price gouging at its finest. never mind that I waited 2 weeks for the estimate, and I only received that after I called and complained twice.

I found this dental office after my previous dentist said my tooth issue was above his pay-grade. I just had an exam and x-Ray at this visit, but Dr. Irene was hands down the most patient and respectful dentist I've seen. She listened carefully to my fears and helped me make a plan of action for my tooth that I felt comfortable with. The entire office was so friendly and helpful.
