Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles through porcelain veneers, LUMINEERS, bonding, and professional whitening treatments. We specialize in creating natural-looking results that complement facial aesthetics while maintaining functional integrity. Each treatment plan considers individual preferences, dental health, and long-term durability.
Dental Implants
We offer permanent tooth replacement solutions using dental implants that mimic natural tooth structure and function. This service includes implant placement, abutment selection, and custom crown fabrication to restore complete smiles and chewing capability for single or multiple missing teeth.
Root Canal Therapy
Our root canal treatments alleviate dental pain while preserving natural teeth through advanced endodontic techniques. We use digital imaging and specialized instruments to thoroughly clean infected pulp chambers, preventing extraction and maintaining oral health.
Pediatric Dentistry
We provide age-appropriate dental care for children starting from their first visit, including preventive treatments, sealants, and education on proper oral hygiene. Our team creates positive experiences to establish lifelong dental care habits in a child-friendly environment.
Orthodontics
Our orthodontic services address misaligned teeth and bite issues through traditional braces and modern alignment solutions. We evaluate each case to determine optimal treatment timing, offering early intervention options and adult orthodontic care for improved dental function and aesthetics.

Dr. Schaffer and his staff are fantastic! I've been going there for years. The space is clean, the chairs are comfortable, and Dr. Schaffer is thorough. Everyone who works there is friendly and I never have to wait. They are punctual and they play good music in the office.
