Services
Sedation Dentistry
Our IV sedation and NuCalm technology help anxious patients receive necessary dental care comfortably. This service enables complex treatments to be completed in fewer visits while maintaining patient safety through continuous monitoring by trained professionals. Ideal for those with dental phobias or requiring extensive procedures.
Dental Implants
Titanium post installations provide permanent solutions for missing teeth with 90-95% success rates. Our guided surgical placements ensure optimal positioning for crowns, bridges, or dentures. We offer both single-tooth replacements and full-mouth reconstructions using advanced imaging technology for precise planning.
Dentures
Custom-crafted full and partial dentures restore function and aesthetics using premium materials. We offer traditional removable options alongside implant-supported solutions for improved stability. Our process includes comprehensive fitting sessions to ensure comfort and natural appearance while maintaining proper bite alignment.
Adult Orthodontics
Invisalign clear aligners correct misalignment discreetly for adult patients. Our treatment planning uses digital imaging to map tooth movements while considering existing dental work. This service addresses crowding, spacing, and bite issues without traditional metal braces, with average treatment durations of 12-18 months.
Comprehensive Care
From routine cleanings to complex reconstructions, our practice handles all aspects of oral health. Services include preventive maintenance, restorative treatments, cosmetic enhancements, and sleep apnea therapy. We coordinate care within our office to maintain treatment continuity while utilizing specialized diagnostics for accurate diagnoses.

The office is beautiful and the front desk staff are nice, but it is abundantly clear that they prioritize making money over the rest. Dr. Carter comes in for such a brief period and barely would even evaluate my dental health. They also recommended this new retainer ($3k and will not bill insurance) that would push my lower jaw forward, I explained that due to a jaw surgery I had years ago that this would not work for me and cause me pain, they responded with "Oh it's not that much, it'll be okay" - completely brushing off my concerns and clearly not caring about my health. My new dentist responded with "I would never recommend that with your history". Northgate dental just cares about profit.

My wife has a paralyzing phobia of the dentist, and they handled her with remarkable care, compassion, and afforded her every comfort available. They did amazing work and we absolutely could not be happier with the service and people working here. I'd give more stars if I could.

I had an awesome experience considering going to the dentist is on my least of "things I avoid"! From the moment I walked through the doors I was greeted by the very friendly front desk team and escorted right back! Sally took amazing care to make me feel super comfortable, and took care of all of my x-rays! She then handed me off to Melissa who did a super thorough cleaning for me! Dr. Carter took excellent care and time with me!
He was very calm and reassuring of the next steps in my care! I really, really appreciated the timeliness of the team as they told me I'd be there for two hours (new patient) and I was there for exactly two hours! 10/10 recommend!

Where else can you go to a dentist, watch a movie and get your back massaged while getting a crown! No pain whatsoever. I expected to have some pain after the numbness left, but nope. Can't even tell I had dental work. :

So happy to have found this crew at Northgate Dental. Staff is so professional but they make you feel sooo relaxed (which is important when visiting any doc or having a procedure). They are efficient and certainly know what they are doing no matter which cubicle you are assigned you are well taken care of! Easy for me to say I highly recommend them but more importantly go visit them yourself and be as impresssed as I have been with Dr. Carter and the fantastic staff he has surrounded himself with.
