Preventive Oral Exams
Regular oral exams detect early signs of decay, gum disease, and oral health issues. Our thorough evaluations include digital imaging and personalized hygiene guidance. Patients receive preventive care tailored to their unique needs, ensuring long-term dental wellness.
Cosmetic Veneers
Custom porcelain veneers improve tooth appearance by correcting discoloration, chips, and gaps. This minimally invasive procedure offers durable, natural-looking results. Patients achieve confidence-boosting smiles with minimal tooth preparation required.
Dental Implants
Implant-supported restorations replace missing teeth with permanent, stable solutions. Our process includes surgical placement and crown fabrication for seamless integration. Patients regain full chewing function and natural aesthetics through biocompatible titanium implants.
Periodontal Deep Cleanings
Scaling and root planing treatments address advanced gum disease by removing plaque below the gumline. This non-surgical procedure halts periodontal damage progression. Patients receive specialized care to restore gum health and prevent tooth loss.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening systems safely lighten tooth enamel using advanced bleaching technology. Both in-office and take-home options provide noticeable results in one session or over two weeks. Patients achieve brighter smiles while minimizing sensitivity risks.

I love going to the dentist. The hygienist always does a thorough cleaning and Dr. Ellsworth a thorough exam.

I just called to become a new patient. You were willing to take me on with the first appointment not until Sept. I was fine with that, but you weren't. As soon as you found out that I was a patient of a retired dentist, that was that. I could not get an appointment. That's too bad because several of my fellow teachers were looking for a new dentist, but I guess it won't be you.

This dental office and staff have but one mission and that is to help and serve their customers and customer needs! We are a family of 4, all with varying dental needs, and we can be assured that the benefit and services information we are given is thorough and accurate so that we can make informed decisions. It doesn't hurt that our 9 year old also just asked to go to the dentist more often based on his own experiences at teeth cleanings.who's child asks to go to the dentist more often
