Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, offering natural appearance and function. Our guided implant placement uses advanced Cone Beam CT technology for precision. Patients benefit from reduced treatment time and the ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. Implants also preserve jawbone health, making them a superior alternative to bridges or dentures.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers a discreet alternative to traditional braces using clear, removable trays. Custom treatment plans gradually shift teeth into alignment over 6-12 months. The system improves periodontal health and reduces wear risks while allowing patients to maintain oral hygiene and dietary habits without metal brackets.
Routine Care
Our preventative care includes biannual cleanings, X-rays, and comprehensive exams to maintain oral health. We assess gum tissue, teeth, and supporting structures while providing oral cancer screenings. Individualized home care plans and diet recommendations help patients achieve optimal total-body health through proper dental maintenance.
Restorations
CEREC technology enables same-day porcelain restorations for damaged or decayed teeth. Digital scans eliminate messy impressions, and milling machines produce durable crowns in one visit. This process avoids temporary crowns and multiple appointments, providing immediate functional and aesthetic improvements while preserving tooth structure.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers address discolored, chipped, or misaligned teeth through thin, durable bonding material. Custom smile design services ensure natural appearance and proper fit. The process involves minimal tooth preparation and offers long-lasting stain resistance, dramatically improving aesthetics while maintaining oral health and function.

Very friendly folks! Heather is great, warm. Summer was very good with the cleaning. Definitely shows her 20+ years experience. I didn't feel a thing. I wanted her to continue when it was over she was so relaxing. LOL. Dr. Chris has a good bedside manner. His dental work was solid and gentle as well. And I loved Amy's colorful glasses. Great dental practice.

As a new patient at Wolken Dental, I cannot be more pleased with the entire staff and experience. They are professional, courteous and go above and beyond to make sure I have great oral care. Angie, my hygienist, does a wonderful job. My teeth feel great! Barb and the rest of the administrative staff are very nice and do everything they can to make sure my appointment is right for me. Any questions I have about insurance are immediately answered. Thank you so much!
