Services
Family Dental Care
Our comprehensive dental exams and cleanings focus on preventive care to maintain optimal oral health. Using digital X-rays and oral cancer screenings, we detect issues early while providing fluoride treatments and home care guidance. Regular checkups help prevent costly dental problems through early intervention.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Transform your smile with veneers, teeth whitening, and bonding procedures. We correct discoloration, chips, and gaps using porcelain crowns and fixed bridges. Our cosmetic treatments combine aesthetic artistry with durable materials for natural-looking results.
Emergency Services
Available 24/7 for dental emergencies including tooth pain, broken teeth, and infections. Our rapid response team provides immediate relief for cracked teeth, lost fillings, and other urgent oral health issues with same-day treatment options.
Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium implants that fuse with jawbone tissue. We restore missing teeth with natural-looking crowns anchored securely to implants, offering better functionality than traditional dentures or bridges.
Pediatric Dentistry
Specialized dental care for children focusing on positive early experiences. We provide fluoride treatments, sealants, and orthodontic evaluations while educating young patients on proper brushing techniques and oral hygiene habits.

I never do ratings like this but this needs to be mention! I have had a lot of work done and what my insurance didn't pick up was mostly paid in full all the time besides one time I owed half and I'm which made a partial payment! I was told I can pay the remaining when I come back in but instead sent it to collections! Beware they don't send out notices or tell you anything what you need to know even when comes to insurance they just charge you! Dr. Powell great but his receptionist are not and nasty for example Shelby who is definitely one of them!
