Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium posts fused with jawbone tissue. Our team performs implant placement and restoration in-house, eliminating the need for specialists. This service addresses missing teeth caused by injury, decay, or periodontal disease, restoring both function and aesthetics while preventing bone loss.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet orthodontic treatment using custom-made, removable clear aligners. We create digital treatment plans showing projected results before starting therapy. Patients receive new aligner sets every few weeks to gradually straighten teeth, with average treatment times around one year. This solution suits teens and adults seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces.
Root Canals
Root canal therapy removes infected pulp from tooth interiors to save damaged teeth. Our dentists use local anesthesia and specialized instruments to clean and seal root canals. Post-treatment crowns protect restored teeth, with follow-up evaluations ensuring complete healing. This procedure relieves pain caused by pulp inflammation or infection while preserving natural dentition.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services use high-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel in custom-fitted trays for superior results. Our take-home kits safely remove stains from coffee, wine, and aging while minimizing sensitivity. Patients achieve multiple-shade improvements over several weeks, with maintenance recommendations extending whitening effects for 1-2 years or longer.
Night Guards
Custom night guards prevent tooth damage from nocturnal grinding by repositioning jaws and absorbing pressure. We take precise impressions for personalized fit, ensuring comfort during sleep. These appliances also treat TMJ disorders by reducing joint strain, with adjustments available to optimize effectiveness and patient comfort.

Absolutely beautiful practice! Super clean, beautifully decorated and Dr Neil is the absolute BEST! He truly cares for all of his patients and will make sure any procedure you have is pain free! The staff is AMAZING as well! Hygienists too! By far the best practice I have ever been to. Oh and the toilet paper, if you have to use the restroom, you will not be disappointed!

I needed to have a crown on my tooth next to my front tooth. I was very nervous that it was going to be very obvious that it was a fake tooth. But it turned out perfect, the color matches well, the shape is better than the original tooth. I am so happy with Dr. Shapiro's work. And he is such a sweetheart also.
