Services
Preventive Teeth Cleanings
Our preventive cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup while screening for oral health issues. We customize cleaning intervals based on individual needs, typically every 3-6 months. Our hygienists provide personalized home care recommendations using advanced products like Carifree to prevent cavities and gum disease. Regular professional cleanings help maintain oral health and prevent systemic health complications from dental infections.
Cosmetic Fillings
We restore decayed teeth with durable, aesthetic composite fillings that match natural tooth color. The bonding process preserves more healthy tooth structure compared to traditional metal fillings. Our resin material contains glass particles for natural light reflection and lasts many years with proper care. These fillings strengthen weakened teeth while maintaining seamless aesthetics during smiling and speaking.
Teeth Whitening
Our professional whitening systems include in-office KR treatments and custom take-home trays. The Whitening for Life program provides ongoing touch-ups with regular checkups. We use professional-grade bleaching agents that safely penetrate enamel to dissolve deep stains. Patients achieve up to 15 shades lighter while maintaining tooth sensitivity control through our customized treatment protocols.
Oral Cancer Screening
We perform advanced oral cancer screenings using VELscope technology during routine checkups. This blue light device detects abnormal tissue fluorescence invisible to the naked eye. Early detection significantly improves treatment success rates, with 83% five-year survival when caught early. The painless, two-minute screening enhances traditional visual examination methods for comprehensive oral health assessment.
Orthodontics
We offer orthodontic solutions including clear braces and early arch development for children. Treatment improves dental alignment, airway function, and facial aesthetics. Expanding dental arches in childhood creates proper tooth positioning and nasal airway development. Adult orthodontics addresses crowding while improving overall oral health through better tooth alignment and cleaning access.

Report
Had a dental emergency and called 4-5 places in town to help with shooting pain in my tooth. Marissa called me at 7:30pm to ask about my issue and scheduled me for the next day at 9:30am to help me + gave me advice on how to deal with the pain until then which was very helpful. Marissa was true lifesaver

I have ALWAYS hated going to the dentist. I would go once and just never go back. I found this office awhile back when I had a major tooth infection. Dr. Marissa sent me in an antibiotic after hours and got me in right away. I went back today for a cleaning which I haven't had done in years! JULIE was fantastic. She took her time. She made sure I wasn't uncomfortable at any moment. Dr Marissa explained everything clearly. I even went ahead and scheduled my next 2 appointments that I know for a fact I will be going too. If you are afraid of going to the dentist. Please check this office out. You won't be disappointed!

From the first call, I think her name is Jackie. was very helpful she took my concerns very serious! Very professional place, and when I arrived there, I was welcomed with open arms. I think the assistant name was Sharon, she was very nice and helpful. Dr. Marisa made me feel completely comfortable, and she listened to my concerns, and gave me a plan moving forward. I was very impressed with the staff there. And I'll definitely be going back for future needs! Well done Eastland Dental. and if I got the names mixed up, I'm so sorry. and you all know who I'm talking about
