General Dentistry
Our comprehensive general dentistry services address preventive, restorative, and cosmetic needs. Patients receive personalized care plans focusing on long-term oral health through professional cleanings, fillings, crowns, and advanced restorative treatments. Our dentists use premium materials and techniques refined in top dental markets to ensure durable, aesthetically pleasing results while maintaining strict infection control standards.
Sedation Dentistry
Specialized sedation options help patients overcome dental phobias or physical limitations. We offer nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia administered by board-certified anesthesiologists. This enables complex treatments to be completed comfortably in single visits while ensuring safety through continuous monitoring in both office and hospital settings.

Our mobile dental teams provide comprehensive care for homebound patients using portable equipment. This service addresses barriers faced by seniors and individuals with disabilities through on-site evaluations, preventive care, and restorative treatments. We coordinate with caregivers to develop customized oral hygiene plans that complement ongoing medical treatments and improve overall quality of life.
Emergency Dental Services
24/7 emergency response handles dental trauma, infections, and severe pain. Our team prioritizes same-day treatment for broken teeth, lost fillings, abscesses, and other acute conditions. Emergency care integrates with our full-service capabilities, allowing seamless transition to restorative or specialist treatments while minimizing patient discomfort and health risks.
Special Needs Dentistry
We specialize in treating patients with developmental disabilities, chronic medical conditions, and cognitive impairments. Our approach combines modified treatment techniques, sedation options, and collaboration with medical professionals to address unique oral health challenges.

Dr. Lindzy Goodman is the absolute best. She did a perfect job making retainers for me and she fit me in last minute with my ever changing schedule. She is always sweet and caring, following up with me later to be sure everything was fitting properly.

We were impressed by our first visit. Dr. Blende had a calm demeanor which helped our daughter feel comfortable. She is severely, multiply handicap and is blind. She has high anxiety when going to a doctor's office. Dr. Blende made her feel very relaxed. The staff was professional and well organized. However, we needed to review the treatment plan.

Our dental hygiene appointments this morning were great - pleasant and thorough. Easily made appointment to come back for full mouth X-rays instead of going to an "X-Ray lab" - they will be digital so we can take them when we move. Dr. Blende and Dr. Goodman also found a solution to a space between my tooth and implant that required very little time and di not involve any new restorations. Very happy!
