Services

Dental Implants

Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Our specialists use titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to support crowns, bridges, or dentures. This treatment preserves facial structure by preventing bone loss while restoring full chewing functionality. Patients benefit from improved confidence in their smile and eating capabilities.

Family Dentistry

We provide comprehensive dental care for patients of all ages, from children's first checkups to seniors' specialized needs. Our services include routine cleanings, fillings, oral cancer screenings, and preventive education. The practice emphasizes building long-term relationships with families to maintain optimal oral health through all life stages while creating positive dental experiences for children.

Veneers

Porcelain veneers offer transformative cosmetic solutions for stained, chipped, or misaligned teeth. These thin shells bond to tooth surfaces to create uniform, natural-looking smiles. The procedure typically requires two visits with minimal enamel removal. Patients achieve durable, stain-resistant results that enhance their appearance and confidence through this popular aesthetic dental treatment.

Crowns and Bridges

Custom dental crowns restore damaged teeth while bridges replace missing teeth using adjacent teeth for support. We use high-quality porcelain materials that match natural tooth color and texture. These restorations protect weakened teeth, improve bite alignment, and maintain facial structure while providing durable, aesthetically pleasing solutions for compromised smiles.

Teeth Whitening

Professional whitening services include in-office Zoom treatments and custom take-home kits. Our solutions effectively address surface stains and deep discoloration from aging, food, or tobacco use. Patients achieve brighter smiles safely under dental supervision, with options for immediate results or gradual lightening through personalized home care programs.

For so many years I would get anxiety about going to the dentist. I recently had two fillings by Dr. Kamen. He made the entire experience comfortable. Highly recommend Dr. Kamen!

Excellent experience with the front desk and the technician (I believe her name was EricaP. The technician made me very comfortable, didn't ask too many complicated questions while her hands were in my mouth (so awkward when that happens). She just made very good conversation, checked if I was comfortable throughout, didn't rush things, was confident in her work, and thorough.

They are now making you sign a paper saying you will go to you dental appointments and any para dental treatment you need in order to guarantee any crowns they put on your teeth which is ridiculous they should last five years. They treat you like a little kid when they make you sign a paper for it. Not happy about new papers work! But the staff gets 5 stars.

The staff was absolutely amazing with my 2 year old and 4 year old. It was their first teeth cleaning and they made them feel so safe and comfortable. They're already looking forward to their next teeth cleaning :

I would just like to say. For YEARS I absolutely hated the dentist but Dr. Kamen has completely changed my outlook and makes sure I'm comfortable. I have severe anxiety about doctors and dentist but absolutely not here. I 10/10 recommend going and seeing him! He is not judge mental at all no matter what your teeth are like and will only try to help you in the best possible way.

Friendly staff greeted me as I entered. I arrived a bit early so I only had a few minute wait when the hygienist came out to retrieve me. She was friendly, and efficient with my cleaning. The Dr. came in to examine me and also greeted me with a cordial demeanor. All in all a pleasant experience for a dental visit.
