Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth by integrating titanium posts with the jawbone. This technology supports crowns, bridges, or dentures, offering stability and natural function. Ideal for patients seeking durable, aesthetic replacements that preserve facial structure and prevent bone loss. Our team collaborates with specialists for precise implant placement and restoration.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers address chips, stains, and misalignment by bonding thin shells to tooth surfaces. This minimally invasive procedure enhances aesthetics while maintaining strength. Custom-crafted for each patient, veneers deliver long-lasting, natural-looking results that complement facial features and improve confidence.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners straighten teeth discreetly using a series of removable, transparent trays. This method corrects crowding and spacing without traditional braces, offering convenience and comfort. Treatment involves periodic checkups to monitor progress toward a balanced, functional bite.
Emergency Dentistry
We provide same-day treatment for toothaches, fractures, and other acute dental issues. Immediate interventions alleviate pain, prevent complications, and restore oral health. Services include diagnostics, pain management, and restorative procedures to address emergencies efficiently.
Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide sedation reduces anxiety during dental visits, ensuring a relaxed experience. This mild sedative is ideal for patients with dental phobia or sensitivity. Effects wear off quickly, allowing patients to resume daily activities immediately after treatment.

Dr. Eric did my first exam today. I've worked at this office for 30+ years so having a new dentist do the exam makes me a little nervous but his gentle manner and great personality made the experience wonderful. I have to give an extra shout out also as my fiance is also his patient but Dr. Eric went above and beyond with him not only did he do a great exam on him he seen a spot on his head and suggested we get it checked by a physician, well we did.
The physician did a biopsy then sent us to a surgeon it was Squamous Cell Carcinoma, if Dr. Eric hadn't alerted us to the danger of a spot, we felt was nothing, we would be doing more then a minor in office surgery. We are very grateful Dr. Eric had a few years in practice in Florida where people are more alerted by simple spots because it sure paid off for us. Thank you so much.

Without a doubt one of the best experiences I have had with any dentist. Dr. Eric and Dr. Ariel are very welcoming and engaging. I feel very well taken care of with the staff here. They have changed my attitude around on going to the dentist, I don't fear it anymore. General care and emergency work is above and beyond my expectations.

This was me first experience with Laketown Family Dental and I was very happy with every aspect of my visit. The practice was clean and organized and I was made comfortable from the moment I walked in. The staff was very professional but very personable as well. They provided pleasant conversation while working on my teeth and the procedures they used to clean my teeth was something I have never experienced. Dr. Ariel was super to talk to as she reviewed my teeth and was a true professional. I left feeling confident I received the best dental experience and that my teeth were never cleaner. I'm a customer!
