Dental Crowns
Dental crowns restore damaged or decayed teeth to their natural shape and function. These custom-made caps protect weakened teeth while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Our crowns blend seamlessly with your natural teeth using high-quality materials like porcelain and zirconia. The two-visit process includes tooth preparation, digital impressions, and permanent placement.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that mimic natural teeth. This surgical procedure replaces missing tooth roots with biocompatible posts that integrate with jawbone tissue. Implants support crowns, bridges, or dentures while preventing bone resorption. The process includes initial consultation, surgical placement, and final restoration.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth using virtually invisible, removable aligners. Custom treatment plans gradually shift teeth into proper alignment over 6-18 months. The system uses BPA-free plastic aligners worn 22 hours daily with digital treatment planning. Patients receive multiple aligner sets for progressive tooth movement.
Teeth Cleaning
Professional teeth cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent dental disease. Our hygienists perform comprehensive exams and digital X-rays during bi-annual visits. The process includes scaling, polishing, and fluoride treatment to maintain optimal oral health and detect early dental issues.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy saves infected or severely damaged teeth by removing diseased pulp tissue. The procedure cleans and seals tooth canals to eliminate infection. Most treatments complete in one visit using advanced techniques. A protective crown often follows to restore tooth strength and function.

I have been going to Dr. Christakos for many years. I have never had better dental care or a more trustworthy provider. Dr. Christakos takes time to explain things to me and what needs to be done. I cannot recommend him and his practice any higher.

My dentist of 20+ years just retired; the new dentist who bought the practice on my first visit tried to talk me into literally thousands of dollars worth of "preventative work, " so I deferred and looked for a new dentist. Dr. C was recommended by a (very picky) friend, and I was immediately comfortable with him and his staff. I am a physician, and I can tell when a health professional has their priorities straight with regard to the patient.

Been going to Dr. Christakos for 13+ years. He is literally the only dentist I trust and would be willing to pay out of pocket if I lose my benefits. He is about patient care first and not about selling you on procedures you don't need. The entire office staff is professional and caring. Gina is most amazing front office person you will ever experience. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Christakos's office.

I had an old filling fall out on a Sunday. Called them Monday morning and they got me in real quick. Christakos put in a new filling and I was good to go. All his help are extremely helpful. I would recommend him to anyone wanting a good dentist.

My hygienist did an excellent job; my interview with Dr Christakos was friendly and personable. However, since you asked: I showed up 15 minutes early and was serviced 30 minutes later. Two ladies came in after 12:00 - with 12:00 appts - and were admitted immediately. I guess it doesn't pay to arrive early, or even on-time.
