Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles through veneers, whitening, and restorations. We focus on natural aesthetics and functionality, using advanced materials to create durable, lifelike results. Patients achieve confidence-boosting smiles with personalized treatment plans.
Same-day Crowns
Using CEREC technology, we fabricate custom crowns in one visit. This eliminates multiple appointments, providing durable, metal-free restorations that match natural teeth. The process takes approximately two hours with digital scanning and precision milling.
Teeth Whitening
We offer in-office and take-home whitening systems for lasting results. Our KR Whitening system safely brightens teeth, even for tetracycline-stained cases, with low sensitivity and permanent effects. Custom trays ensure even application and optimal outcomes.
Six Month Smiles
This system straightens visible front teeth in 6-9 months using tooth-colored braces. It focuses on cosmetic improvement rather than bite correction, offering a faster alternative to traditional braces with discreet, esthetic results.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
We provide custom SomnoDent MAS appliances to treat obstructive sleep apnea. These oral devices reposition the jaw to keep airways open, improving sleep quality. The solution is comfortable, adjustable, and clinically validated for effectiveness.

Dr. Kenneth Tripp and his associates are all "Rock Stars" in my book. I had a few services yesterday and I can say honestly, I am not a fan of going to the Dentist. I have a lot of childhood trauma. lol. From start to finish, my experience was outstanding. I had a few fillings and a crown that needed to be complete and everything went smoothly. Dr. Tripp was very transparent and walked me through the process and was even able to share his screen when doing the 3D imaging.

He was very thorough and provided insight throughout. I was even able to view the crown being made, which I've attached for your viewing pleasure. If you are in need for dental work, even as basic as a cleaning, Dr. Tripp is your guy!

Dr. Tripp, Connie and Denise thank you so much for getting me in such short notice and taking excellent care of me. Im extremely nervous when it comes to healthcare procedures for myself and you all were amazing! From the moment I walked into the door I felt at ease and I cant thank you enough.

Everyone was friendly. From the time I walked in the door I felt comfortable. Not an easy thing to say about going to a dentist. The hygienist was very thorough and informative with her explanation of what she observed about my teeth. The Doctor took his time to make sure I understood what was needed to prevent any further damage to my teeth. I didn't feel pressured in any way. This was a good choice for me.

My first visit was amazing! I have heard wonderful things about this practice and it did not disappoint! From start to finish! Connie was welcoming and lovely! Cara was my hygienist and was so personable, knowledgeable, and thorough with the cleaning and explained everything so that it made sense. Dr Tripp was extremely easy to talk to, very genuine and friendly, and took the time to explain everything in detail giving me his opinion, yet options of treatment. So happy with this decision and highly recommend!
