Services
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding addresses chips, cracks, and stains using tooth-colored resin. This minimally invasive procedure restores natural appearance while preventing further damage. Ideal for minor cosmetic issues, bonding preserves tooth structure and requires no recovery time. Our dentists skillfully match resin to your natural tooth color for seamless results.
Dental Crowns
Custom dental crowns restore strength and appearance to damaged teeth. Using durable materials that mimic natural tooth structure, we create crowns that protect weakened teeth and improve aesthetics. The process involves precise preparation and digital imaging for perfect fit, completed in one visit using CEREC technology.
Family Dentistry
Our comprehensive family dentistry services cater to all ages, from children's first visits to senior care. We provide preventive checkups, cleanings, and age-specific treatments. Emphasizing early education and lifelong habits, we create comfortable experiences for patients while addressing unique dental needs at every life stage.
Laser Dentistry
Advanced laser dentistry offers precise, comfortable care without traditional drills. Using Waterlase technology, we perform procedures with reduced vibration and heat, minimizing patient anxiety. This technique preserves healthy tooth structure while effectively treating various dental conditions, particularly beneficial for children and sensitive patients.
Dental Sealants
Protective dental sealants prevent decay on molars' chewing surfaces. Applied as liquid resin that hardens into a protective barrier, sealants block bacteria from vulnerable grooves. Recommended for children and adults with susceptible tooth anatomy, this simple procedure provides long-lasting defense against cavities when combined with regular dental care.

Craig Wernette was my dentist throughout my childhood, 90s-2015 ish. He went above and beyond with my teeth and sealing them so well that now, in my 30s, when I go somewhere else (out of town), I get so many compliments on his work and how well it's maintained for the last 15+ years. No joke. Most recent dentist said, "whoever did this work really loved your teeth and did a beautiful job". No cavities or any dental issues due to his proactive work years ago.

This is the single most unprofessional establishment I have ever worked with. I scheduled an appointment with extended time for a cavity fill. When I got there, they said that they couldn't do it and called me a liar. The office manager proceeded to call and leave me SCREAMING voice messages about how I was a lair and they do not schedule appointments like that for a 2 days straight. Finally, the person I scheduled the appointment with spoke with her and confirmed that I scheduled the appointment as I had stated from the beginning.
That conversation was revealed to me in another SCREAMING voicemail. She was mad in this one that I hadn't returned her screaming messages for the days prior and about how I should have called her back. I called back and notified her I would no longer be using them for my dental needs. She continued to berate me and then in an eerie calm state, "you know what? I think it is best for you to find a new dentist" I WILL NEVER GO BACK. SAVE YOURSELF AND AVOID THEM AT ALL COST. THE OFFICE MANAGER IS NOT WELL.

Words can't express enough how happy I was with my experience. I called last minute to get in. I was having extreme tooth pain and I had never been to this dental office before and they took me within an hour. Helped figure out my issue. They were so nice and accommodating. They gained a new customer for sure. Thank you again Dr. Hodas and staff! You guys are amazing

I feel when you walk in on time you are going to wait. Office is not on schedule. Staff are nice, however cleanings are only 30 min and rushed. Cleanings should be an hour long. I feel the hygienist does not take her time to clean good. Will try another dentist office.

Staff is very friendly and supportive. I have alot of anxiety getting dental work done and they are understanding and go out of their way to make my experience better. They also have the latest equipment which also makes the procedures easier for patients.
