Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants restore missing teeth with permanent artificial roots that mimic natural tooth function. These titanium posts integrate with jawbone tissue to provide stable support for crowns or dentures. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, speech clarity, and facial structure preservation while maintaining adjacent teeth integrity. Our implant process includes 3D imaging for precise placement and long-term success.
Same-Day Crowns
CEREC technology enables fabrication of ceramic crowns during a single appointment. Digital impressions eliminate traditional molds while computer-aided design ensures perfect fit and aesthetics. Patients avoid temporary crowns and multiple visits, receiving durable restorations that match natural tooth color and contours within hours rather than weeks.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using custom-made, removable plastic aligners. This discreet alternative to braces gradually shifts teeth into proper alignment without metal brackets or wires. Treatment planning utilizes 3D imaging to map tooth movements, with new aligners provided every 1-2 weeks for predictable results in 12-18 months on average.
Emergency Dentistry
Our emergency dental services address acute oral trauma, infections, and severe pain outside regular hours. Available for broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, abscesses, and other urgent conditions, we prioritize same-day appointments to relieve discomfort and prevent complications. Treatment may include temporary restorations, antibiotics, or immediate extractions followed by replacement planning.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments remove deep stains using hydrogen peroxide-based gels activated by LED light. In-office sessions achieve 6-8 shade improvements in 90 minutes, while take-home kits provide gradual results over 1-2 weeks. Custom trays ensure even application and gum protection for safe, effective smile enhancement lasting 1-3 years with proper maintenance.

Report
Dr. Cline and her wonderful team of hygienists have taken care of our family's dental health for over 10 years. There have been happy times like when we find out the Tooth Fairy is about to make her first appearance. There have been not great times like when I found out I needed a crown (not the kind I deserve). I have the utmost confidence that we will receive the most excellent and compassionate care.
One of my children has recently developed major anxiety about even brushing his teeth, but he is completely calm in Dr. Cline's chair because of the rapport they have nurtured over the years. They are gentle in cleaning and thorough in their examinations. From Barb's warm greeting when you walk in the door to the excellent care of the dental team, Cline Dental will give you many reasons to smile.

I hate to admit the time between dental visits, but it has been years. I'm terrified of the dentist. I'm an adult and I'm embarrassed to admit this. But, I had to go in because I broke a tooth. I am happy I did, I now can say I have dentist. I am still scared, but the staff there made me feel so welcome. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with friendly happy faces. The front desk staff noticed my anxiety and offered some water.
I noticed how the spoke with their other patients and they were so kind, funny and caring. Also, her office is very clean. They are about providing compassionate care, this is evident throughout the office. Thanks for kindness and understanding ladies! Not looking for to a root canal, but I'm very fortunate to have you taking care of me!

Best dentist I've ever been to! I hate the dentist, I have a phobia actually, but Heather Cline is the most gentle and patient dentist I have ever encountered. Her while team is wonderful! They keep you informed through the whole process and they are so gentle while working in your mouth, even the numbing process was the best I have ever experienced. Glad a friend referred her to me when I was looking. I won't go anywhere else! Thank you Dr. Cline (and your whole team) for taking a stressful experience and making it better

Cline dental is the best! I've been a patient there for years, I recently had to move my appointment last minute and so I had a new dental hygienist today and even she was amazing! I have sensitive teeth so I was a bit nervous! I just love them all! Super friendly & professional. The building is always very clean as well
