Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium posts fused with jawbone tissue. This procedure restores chewing functionality and prevents bone loss while offering natural aesthetics. Our practice guides patients through surgical placement, osseointegration, and crown attachment phases with precision and care.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth using custom clear aligners that gradually shift dental positioning without metal brackets. This discreet orthodontic solution addresses mild to moderate spacing and crowding issues through computer-generated treatment sequences tailored to individual anatomical requirements and aesthetic goals.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments reverse discoloration caused by aging, diet, and lifestyle factors. Our ZOOM! system combines light-activated gel with enamel-safe bleaching agents to achieve 6-10 shade improvements in single appointments, offering immediate visible enhancements to patients' smiles.
Crowns
Crowns restore damaged teeth through custom-fitted porcelain or metal-ceramic coverings that reinforce structural integrity. This restorative procedure protects weakened teeth from further deterioration while maintaining natural appearance through shade-matching techniques and biocompatible materials.
Veneers
Veneers transform smiles by covering dental imperfections with ultra-thin ceramic shells bonded to tooth surfaces. This cosmetic solution addresses staining, chips, and misalignment through minimally invasive preparation and laboratory-fabricated restorations that mimic natural enamel translucency and texture.

I've seen Dr. Stern twice now. Once for a cleaning, once for a cavity filling. He's very gentle and very nice. This is especially important for me because my teeth are sensitive; consequently, going to the dentist makes me nervous. Dr. Stern put me at ease, gained my trust, and was transparent with pricing and insurance, which I appreciate. Office is clean, cozy, and convenient. This is my new dentist!

19th century dentist- Very cordial, friendly, and professional but doesn't know much about dentristry. He didn't have any solutions for my cracked tooth and recommended a plan that involved seeing another dentist, another dentist which he recommended and one who was NEVER available for an appointment. I found another dentist who solved my issue in 2 hours and I feel ok again.

Dr. Stern is a highly skilled dentist who knows how to put his patients at ease, with humor and compassion. He is attuned to sensitivity issues. If I flinch or make a slight sound, he is quick to ask how I am doing. He's patient and gentle. I have had many unpleasant experiences with dental care in the past, and when I found Dr. Stern I was so relieved. Wow. After 8 years of being taken care of by him, I wouldnt go to anyone else. That is what everyone wants in a dentist! I recommend him highly!

Dr. Stern is very gentle and careful in his work. Even when a drilling, we have never walked away with pain! I would highly recommend Dr. Stern as your primary dentist for basic cleanings as well as more complicated cavities.
