Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent cavities and gum disease. Our hygienists use advanced techniques to ensure thorough cleaning while maintaining patient comfort. Regular cleanings every six months help maintain optimal oral health and reduce long-term dental costs through early problem detection.
Gum Disease Treatment
We offer conservative treatments for gingivitis and periodontitis, including scaling and root planing. Our approach focuses on halting disease progression and preventing systemic health complications. Early intervention helps preserve natural teeth and maintain overall health through improved oral-systemic connections.
Dental Crowns
Custom dental crowns restore damaged or decayed teeth with durable, natural-looking solutions. We use all-porcelain materials for aesthetic results that blend with your smile. Crowns protect weakened teeth while maintaining proper bite alignment and chewing functionality for long-term oral health.
Dental Implants
Permanent dental implants replace missing teeth with secure, bone-preserving solutions. Our in-house implant placement ensures continuity of care from surgery to restoration. Implants maintain facial structure and provide stable support for crowns, bridges, or dentures without affecting adjacent teeth.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening services deliver dramatic results using safe, effective bleaching systems. We offer both in-office and take-home options with custom trays for lasting effects. Our treatments safely remove years of stains while minimizing sensitivity for a comfortable patient experience.

I had an appointment last year and to make sure everything was ok with the insurance I called the day I make the appointment and told them I change from DELTA DENTAL WASHINGTON to DELTA DENTAL EPO. The secretary told that was ok so I make the appointment. The day I scheduled for my procedure I get there earlier to show her the card and double check about the change She asked me for my card I showed to her.
She told me everything was all set and asked me to wait for my appointment. The next day I received I call and the SAME secretary told me the EPO insurance wasn't accepted so I have to pay more than $200 for the teeth cleaning. My wife called the office and talked to Loren and try explain to her that we show the insurance card to try to make sure everything was ok! Loren said "if you showed the card we know it's not accepted" She was very disrespectful during the call. That's was so disappointing! I'll never come back.

I had my 6-month cleaning appointment with Allison at Central Dental in Norwood. I do have anxiety when going to the dentist but she made it completely comfortable by explaining exactly what she was going to do before she did it. She couldn't have been nicer or more professional. The office and operatives are immaculate. They practice every precaution. I have been a patient here for many years and have always felt that each staff member strives to make it a positive experience for their patients.

This office is an absolute pleasure to interact with, and I have never said that about a dental office before! Everyone is professional, compassionate and kind, from the front desk staff to the medical professionals and their assistants. You leave feeling very safe and well cared for, with every concern addressed. I would absolutely recommend Central Dental to anyone seeking a high quality and welcoming practice.
