Services
Preventive Dentistry
Our preventive care includes comprehensive exams, professional cleanings, and protective treatments like sealants and fluoride applications. We focus on early detection of oral health issues to prevent costly problems. Our hygienists use ultrasonic scaling technology for thorough plaque removal, while educating patients on effective home care routines to maintain optimal oral health between visits.
Restorative Dentistry
We restore damaged teeth with tooth-colored fillings, custom crowns, and extraction solutions. Our approach preserves as much natural tooth structure as possible while ensuring functional recovery. For cracked or weakened teeth, we create durable crowns using materials selected specifically for each patient's dental needs and aesthetic preferences.
Dental Implants
Our implant restorations provide permanent solutions for missing teeth, anchored through surgical implants placed by specialists. We create natural-looking crowns, bridges, or dentures that integrate seamlessly with your bite. The process includes precise measurements and high-quality materials to ensure comfort, functionality, and aesthetic harmony with your existing smile.
Teeth Whitening
We offer professional whitening treatments that safely remove years of stains through in-office sessions or customized take-home kits. Our solutions use advanced bleaching technology to achieve noticeable results while minimizing sensitivity. Patients receive detailed instructions for maintaining their brighter smiles through proper oral care routines.
Pediatric Dentistry
Our child-friendly dental care focuses on establishing positive oral health habits early. We provide sealants, fluoride treatments, and gentle examinations in a welcoming environment with kid-friendly amenities. Our team explains procedures in age-appropriate language while offering parents practical guidance for supporting their children's dental development at home.

Northshore Dental is the best dentist, hands down. Their staff are friendly and welcoming (and they always remember your name!). Colleen, my regular hygienist, is amazing! Super friendly, funny, warm, and does a great job cleaning my teeth. My parents also both go to see her and they love her as well! I have never had a bad experience here - I have even had a couple of cavities filled during my time going here and the experiences have been quick and essentially painless. I have seen all of the dentists here at one time or another, but lately I have seen Dr. Kirkland and she is very professional and thorough. I cannot recommend Northshore Dental enough!

Update: Dr. Kirkland, the other dentist in the practice, is a talented cosmetic dentist who lays out a plan and cares for her patients. Plus she is very gentle after having some additional work done on my teeth.no white knuckles. Colleen (very through, competent hygienist) and, Kayla (insurance wiz at the front) are all super nice ladies that all do a great job! Unless my insurance changes or I move, I will be returning.
I found the group via yelp and went there because it's close to home and the glowing comments from other patients. It's always nice to find a good healthcare provider on the first try and yelp didn't let me down. What a exceptional group of dental professionals. Very impressed thus far.

Super helpful and friendly staff! The receptionist Kayla is super helpful and was great at communicating with me when we were resolving an issue with my insurance. I also recently had a tooth extraction that wasn't covered by my insurance and they worked with me to make sure it was affordable, as well as a quick and painless process. Would highly recommend for anyone in the area!

The staff here is amazing, start to finish! Kayla runs the desk and is very welcoming and thorough in covering any billing questions I had. Colleen handles the dental hygienist duties and is wonderful, I always look forward to our one sided conversations. The doctors here have each been caring and great to work with. Getting any work done on your teeth can be stressful but this group alleviates that and makes it a low stress experience! I highly recommend them and will remain a loyal patient!

I went to the dentist for the first time in an embarrassingly long amount of time. I have a fear of dentists after a negative experience as a child which has kept me away for years. My husband however went in and had a really good experience. It was such a good experience he encouraged me to go in and get my teeth looked out. I'm glad I did. The staff was incredibly friendly and worked with me over certain fears I had.
It was a great experience and I left feeling well taken care of. I can not recommend this place enough. My only regret is that we are just now discovering this place right before we move out of state. Don't let this by you!
