Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that mimic natural teeth function and appearance. Our implant process includes bone grafting when necessary, abutment placement, and custom crown fabrication. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, facial structure preservation, and long-term oral health improvements through this restorative treatment option.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services address surface stains and deep discoloration through supervised bleaching procedures. We offer both in-office treatments and customized take-home kits using dentist-approved whitening formulas. These treatments effectively remove years of staining from coffee, tea, and other common dietary factors while minimizing tooth sensitivity.
Dental Crowns
Custom dental crowns restore damaged or decayed teeth through precision-fitted ceramic or porcelain caps. This treatment protects weakened teeth, improves structural integrity, and enhances aesthetic appearance. The process involves tooth preparation, temporary placement, and permanent cementation following laboratory fabrication.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using a series of clear, removable aligner trays. This orthodontic solution addresses crowding, spacing, and bite issues without traditional metal braces. Patients receive customized treatment plans with periodic tray replacements to gradually achieve proper tooth alignment.
Emergency Dentistry
Emergency dental services address acute oral health crises including tooth fractures, severe decay, and soft tissue injuries. Our practice provides prompt evaluation and treatment for pain management, infection control, and dental trauma stabilization during designated emergency hours.

As someone who had really bad dental anxiety, JDC has been there every step of the way. I used to shriek when Dr. Chris came at me with a drill, but now it's not so bad, and he has helped me through all of my dental issues. And as a poor college kid, I appreciate their flexibility. I hope to keep coming to them for a while

I don't know if Dr Joy is any good. But her assistant Diane is terrible and RUDE. I called to get her to come out and see my 78 year old mother with dementia. We arranged for her to come to my parents house today and Dr. Joy never showed up. I don't know how you stay in business! I live nearby and will come for a refund on the $150 deposit my sister gave. I wish I could give it a zero. Dr. Joy, do yourself a favor and fire Diane

My grandmother is 101 years old and is bed ridden. I needed to find a dentist which makes home visits in order to remove her tooth. I came across Doctor Joy's information and gave her a call. We were able to set up an appointment with a very short notice. I can not express or find enough words to say what an amazing experience we had with her. She was on time, took her time to explain the full process, but most importantly treated my grandma delicately and with patience.
A week later, after the tooth removal my grandma began eating more and looked much stronger all thanks to Doctor Joy. She is very compassionate, professional, and I would recommend her to everyone without hesitation.

The new office location is really convenient for me and is bright and cheery. As a new patient I liked Doctor Joy alot, very nice and competent. I have serious questions as to billing practices, however. Word to the wise, get a predetermination for all expensive dental work. I had a cleaning, then came back for five cavities, two root canals and eventually two buildups and crowns. Of course all this work totaled thousands of dollars, thank God for insurance.
The problem is, however, that Diane at the front desk will charge you consistently more then the patient amount shown on the insurance EOB. That is partly because she is estimating, she has to wait for the EOB. However, I apparently have access to the EOB ahead of her because of my online insurance portal My patient amount for four visits was $623, she charged me, $1400. So I'm owed $800 so far, and more to follow I'm sure when the crowns are put on. Do not go here, a friendly dentist is one thing, being ripped off is something completely different.
