Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles using advanced techniques like veneers, bonding, and enamel shaping. We specialize in creating natural-looking results that boost confidence while maintaining oral health. Patients benefit from personalized consultations to determine the best options for their unique needs.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening addresses discoloration caused by age, diet, or lifestyle habits. We offer in-office Zoom treatments and custom at-home kits for lasting results. Our safe, dentist-supervised methods ensure optimal outcomes without damaging enamel.

Love this dentist! Dr Dunn is awesome. Super nice and very good at what he does. Staff is very professional and friendly. Dozens of my friends have been bringing their families here for many years. I can't recommend this proactive high enough.

Long overdue review but I have been going to see Dr Dunn my whole life (his dad actually for my first decade!), and recently Dr Castro as well. Just a terrific family practice, and I've run into some bad dentists in times where I lived out of the area, so it makes me appreciate Dr Dunn and Castro even more. They do a great job and the overall service and care is top notch. Don't hesitate to make them your primary dental practice.

I had to go to 2 other dentists before I found the one I liked. The staff is great, Serene at the front desk, and Marcia the hygienist were terrific. This is clearly an office who cares about patient care. They are knowledgeable and skilled. While the other dentists had all the bells and whistles, they also relied on their technology and not on their intuitive knowledge. As a result, they were recommending unnecessary procedures. Go to Dr. Dunn.

I have been treated at this practice by two generations of doctors Dunn. My wife and I go regularly for semiannual hygiene appointments, which always are performed by the same technician hygienist. This practice is state of the art and the two Experienced dentists thereb, Dr. Timothy Dunn And April Castro are excellent. Over the years we have had extensive dental work done and we're always pleased by the honesty of this practice as well as the quality of the work. You cannot do better in locating dentists for your family. Paul and Maria D
