Services
Family Dentistry
We provide comprehensive dental care for patients of all ages, including routine checkups, hygiene visits, and preventive treatments. Our practice specializes in creating customized care plans for families while maximizing dental insurance benefits. With experience treating multiple generations, we focus on making dental visits comfortable and educational for children and adults alike.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Transform your smile with personalized cosmetic treatments that enhance appearance and confidence. We offer veneers, teeth whitening, and smile makeovers using advanced techniques. Dr. Sumlin consults with patients to create natural-looking results that complement facial features while maintaining optimal oral health and function.
Digital X-Rays
Our digital radiography system provides high-resolution images with 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays. This technology enables early detection of dental issues while reducing patient exposure. The instant imaging capability improves diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning efficiency for better long-term outcomes.
Intraoral Imaging
We use specialized intraoral cameras to capture detailed images inside the mouth for accurate diagnosis. This technology allows patients to view problem areas directly, enhancing understanding of treatment needs. The high-resolution imaging supports precise documentation and treatment monitoring over time.
Laser Cavity Detection
Our laser fluorescence technology identifies cavities at their earliest stages before visible damage occurs. This minimally invasive method enables smaller, more conservative fillings that preserve tooth structure. Early detection through laser technology improves treatment outcomes while reducing long-term costs.

Terrific dentist, terrific staff, really nice office environment. Cutting edge technology. And, bad for me, they will find your cavities, no escaping it. All fixes are expertly done. Excellent.
