Services
General Dentistry
Our comprehensive general dentistry services focus on preventive care and early detection of oral health issues. We offer digital X-rays, intraoral camera exams, and periodontal treatments using laser technology. Our approach combines traditional techniques with modern innovations like low-radiation diagnostics and Arestin antibiotic therapy to maintain optimal oral health through regular cleanings and checkups.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Transform your smile with our advanced cosmetic dentistry solutions. We specialize in porcelain crowns, professional teeth whitening, and Invisalign treatments. Our team uses state-of-the-art technology and artistic techniques to create natural-looking results that enhance both appearance and function while maintaining the integrity of your natural teeth.
Veneers
Custom porcelain veneers address gaps, crooked teeth, and discoloration through minimally invasive dental restorations. Our process includes personalized shade matching and two-appointment fabrication using on-site laboratory support. Veneers provide durable, natural-looking results that mimic tooth enamel while offering immediate orthodontic benefits without traditional braces.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
We offer specialized sleep apnea treatment using advanced diagnostic tools like acoustic pharyngometers and rhinometers. Our customized oral appliances address airway obstruction through precise jaw positioning. The treatment process includes home sleep testing and collaboration with medical professionals to develop effective, non-invasive solutions for improved sleep quality.
Implant Dentistry
Our implant dentistry services provide permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium posts integrated with jawbone tissue. Certified by leading implantology organizations, we offer comprehensive treatment planning and surgical placement. Implants restore both aesthetic appearance and functional chewing ability while preventing bone loss associated with missing teeth.

My 1st crown with Grand's new technology. All in with one appointment! Add to that an office staffed with kind and supremely capable dentists, hygienists and assistants. It's why my family and I have been patients since the beginning.

Love Grand Denistry Staff. They always go above and beyond to help me with scheduling and getting things covered with insurance. I miss Dr. Bonar she did my original veneers and they are fantastic but it seems they haven't missed a beat! Thank you for taking such good care of me and my family, Lisa

As a person who hates going to the dentist, I have to say that I'm very happy with my experiences at Grand Dentistry. The words root canal doesn't make me cringe any more, haha. Dr. Basso did an extraordinary job of ensuring I was comfortable, and not feeling pain. The office staff took a lot of time to review my insurance coverage and payment options. Highly recommend.
