Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. Our doctors use advanced techniques to ensure precise placement and long-term success. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, speech, and confidence, with results that mimic natural teeth.
Same-Day Crowns
Using CEREC technology, we create durable, custom crowns in a single visit. This eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments. Patients receive restorations that blend seamlessly with their natural smile while preserving tooth structure.
Pediatric Dentistry
We specialize in creating positive dental experiences for children through gentle care and engaging education. Services include preventive checkups, sealants, and early orthodontic assessments. Our team fosters lifelong oral health habits in a fun, fear-free environment.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening removes stains caused by food, drinks, and aging for a brighter smile. We offer customized take-home kits and in-office treatments. Results are achieved safely under professional supervision for optimal effectiveness and minimal sensitivity.
Root Canals
Our root canal treatments relieve pain and save infected teeth using modern techniques. The procedure removes damaged tissue, prevents extraction, and restores dental function. Patients experience minimal discomfort with our focus on precision and comfort.

I have always had a fear of the dentist from childhood experiences, but let me tell you they are amazing. No pain, if you have a rough time they will slow it down and do anything to make you comfortable. I will be going there for life

Always gentle and thorough care is provided by the members of Pioneer Greens Dentistry. They take a personal interest in each patient and appointments begin on time. If an emergency is experienced they will provide care after hours if necessary. I highly recommend this dental practice.

Pioneer Greens Dentistry is amazing from start to finish. Being greeted by personable, friendly people, then going into a very thorough and professional check up/cleaning; it's a great great place to get work done. I have had negative experiences with dentists in the past and can honestly say that I look forward to every visit at Pioneer Greens Dentistry. They are FANTASTIC!

Friendly, skilled, technologically advanced care! I live downtown and don't have a car so their location is inconvenient for me but they make it well worth my while to make the trip-- consistently the best care imaginable with the friendliness to match. A solid five stars well earned!
