Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth. Using titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone, we restore chewing function and natural aesthetics. Ideal candidates gain improved speech, comfort, and facial structure support. Our process includes comprehensive planning, surgical placement, and custom crown restoration for lasting results.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic services transform smiles through veneers, whitening, and bonding. We address discoloration, chips, and misalignment to boost confidence. Treatments are tailored to individual facial features and oral health needs. Patients benefit from natural-looking results that improve both aesthetics and self-esteem through minimally invasive techniques.
Family Dentistry
We provide lifelong dental care for all ages, from children's first visits to adult preventive maintenance. Services include exams, cleanings, and early orthodontic assessments. Our approach emphasizes education to prevent future issues. Families appreciate our child-friendly environment and comprehensive care that adapts to each patient's developmental stage.
Emergency Dental Care
We prioritize same-day care for dental emergencies like trauma, infections, or severe pain. Immediate interventions preserve teeth and prevent complications. Our team handles broken teeth, lost fillings, and soft tissue injuries with prompt, compassionate treatment to alleviate discomfort and restore oral health.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly using custom clear trays. We treat misalignment issues without traditional braces, offering removable, comfortable options for adults and teens. Treatment planning uses digital imaging to show expected outcomes. Patients enjoy improved confidence during treatment with minimal impact on daily activities.

I love the fact, they remember me, after not being there since 2018. They are very good at making me so comfortable during my visit being that I have anxiety issues when I go to the dentist. I always leave very happy and at ease.

So excited to have found Dr. Tandano! I trust her to tell me like it is and do the best work I've ever had done. If I move away, I will return to have her do all my dental work. Great office, great dentist.a very rare find.

Dr Kellen is caring and very professional. She took her time explaining the issue on my tooth and she was really patient answering all my questions. I am looking forward to visiting her office again for my future routine visits. Great office and staff!
