Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth with durable, natural-looking solutions. Our team uses advanced techniques to ensure secure integration with your jawbone, restoring both function and aesthetics. Ideal for patients seeking permanent tooth replacement, implants provide long-term oral health benefits and confidence in daily activities like eating and speaking.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly using custom clear aligners. This treatment addresses gaps, crowding, and bite issues without traditional braces. Patients appreciate the removable design, allowing normal eating and oral hygiene while achieving a straighter smile in as little as six months.
Airway Dentistry
Airway Dentistry treats obstructive sleep apnea and breathing issues through oral appliances and myofunctional therapy. We address anatomical causes in both children and adults, improving sleep quality and overall health. Solutions include the Vivos Method for non-invasive jaw expansion and customized appliances for better breathing.
Teeth Whitening
Our teeth whitening services use advanced technology to brighten smiles without sensitivity. The KR Teeth Whitening system employs controlled heat for effective results in a single visit. Patients enjoy faster, longer-lasting outcomes compared to over-the-counter products, with personalized follow-up care for maintenance.
Pediatric Dental Care
We specialize in early dental care, focusing on preventive treatments and airway development for children. Services include routine checkups, sealants, and myofunctional therapy to address breathing issues. Our team creates a welcoming environment to build lifelong oral health habits and reduce dental anxiety from an early age.

Great experience. Dr Nagle has the best chair side manner. He takes the time to explain everything to you in language you can understand. I am normally afraid to go to the dentist, he and his staff made me feel so at ease

It's great service and the staff is very friendly and professional but the cost is just absurd. I understand dentistry is expensive but $350 for a filling and $4,000 for a root canal is insane. I put up with the cost of the root canal because it is a fairly extensive procedure, though that still seems excessive for something which took less than 2 hours and is essentially like a more complicated filling with a crown.
I don't have dental insurance but even if I did it would have only slightly reduced the cost based on my research. What really took the cake though was earlier today I had a root planing and scaling, which is basically just a hygienist using a vibrating pick to scrape under your gum line for 90 minutes. It's barely more than a cleaning in complexity. I literally could have done it myself with a pick. I even elected not to use novecaine to try to save money. I figured it might be 2 or 3 hundred dollars. It was 1200 F_ing bucks. Just absurd for something so simple.

I came here after never being to the dentist as a 27 year old. I was extremely nervous and after my first visit I was no longer nervous at all. They have transformed my teeth (in about 4 sessions) enough to where I feel confident to smile again! They are so thoughtful and call after every appointment to see how I'm feeling. They offered me stress balls, a pillow, a blanket and more while getting an extraction done. Can't recommend them enough!

Above and beyond & absolutely fabulous! Lifetime dental really came through for my husband today. Dental emergencies are never fun but this was a better experience than either of us could've hoped for. Dr. Phillip's and the staff made the time to not only see a new patient but their office manager, Nicole, also reached out to coordinate a specialist follow-up for the same day. We are so appreciative of their time and the excellent service they provided and plan to return for years to come. Thank you!
