Laser Dentistry
Our laser dentistry technology enables pain-free cavity removal and minimally invasive surgical procedures without traditional anesthetics. This advanced approach promotes faster healing while maintaining precision. Patients benefit from reduced discomfort and improved treatment outcomes through Dr. Hoopingarner's expertise as Vice President of the Academy of Laser Dentistry.
TMJ Treatment
Specialized TMJ neuromuscular dentistry addresses jaw pain, headaches, and teeth grinding through customized treatment plans. With 40 years of experience, we employ diagnostic imaging and physical evaluation to correct temporomandibular joint disorders. Treatment options include night guards, Botox therapy, and personalized rehabilitation programs for lasting relief.
Dental Implants
Permanent dental implant solutions replace missing teeth with natural-looking, functional restorations anchored in the jawbone. Dr. Hoopingarner personally places implant posts for optimal positioning, ensuring aesthetic and functional success. The process includes surgical placement followed by customized crown restoration for complete smile restoration.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Transform your smile with veneers, bonding, and teeth whitening procedures that enhance dental aesthetics. Our 'Principles of Smile Design' combine facial analysis with material science to create natural, long-lasting results. Metal-free restorations provide both beauty and durability while maintaining gum health.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer nitrous oxide and full sedation options to ensure comfortable dental experiences for anxious patients. This specialized service allows complex treatments to be completed in relaxed, stress-free environments. Sedation techniques make comprehensive dental care accessible to those with dental phobias or special needs.

With all the money he makes at his clinic he is using an old and cheap walgreen high pressure monitor that will give false reading for his patient! and that is real bad i ask the nurse she simply was laughing out loud

Dr. Farias is the best! The dedication and care she has for each of her patients makes going to the dentist that much better. I had appointments with Dr. Farias for an exam and for some long-over due fillings. The whole experience with Dr. Farias was just overall amazing. She was patient with me and with her staff during both appointments. Makes having to go to 7:30 AM appointments worthwhile. I even scheduled an appointment to try out their in house teeth whitening! I would definite recommend her to all my friends and family.
