Family Dentistry
Our family dentistry services provide comprehensive oral care for patients of all ages. We specialize in preventive treatments like cleanings and exams, restorative procedures including fillings and crowns, and early orthodontic intervention. Our child-friendly approach creates positive dental experiences while addressing unique developmental needs. With advanced training in all dental disciplines, our team ensures continuity of care for entire households through modern techniques and personalized attention.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Transform your smile with our cosmetic dentistry solutions, including porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and smile makeovers. Our specialists use premium materials and precise techniques to address discoloration, misalignment, and structural imperfections. We create customized treatment plans that balance aesthetic goals with functional requirements, utilizing digital imaging technology for accurate visualization of final results while maintaining natural tooth structure.
Root Canals
Our root canal treatments eliminate infection while preserving natural teeth using advanced endodontic techniques. We employ digital imaging for precise diagnosis and specialized instruments for thorough canal cleaning. Local anesthesia ensures patient comfort during the procedure, with post-treatment restoration recommendations to protect treated teeth. Our success-oriented approach minimizes discomfort and prevents complications through meticulous case evaluation and follow-up care.
Dental Crowns
Custom dental crowns restore strength and appearance to damaged teeth through precision-fitting ceramic or porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations. We utilize high-quality materials that mimic natural tooth translucency while providing structural reinforcement. The two-visit process includes digital impressions for accurate fabrication and shade matching to ensure seamless integration with existing dentition for both functional and aesthetic improvement.
Dental Bridges
Fixed dental bridges replace missing teeth using custom-crafted prosthetics anchored to adjacent natural teeth or implants. Our bridges restore chewing function, maintain facial structure, and prevent tooth migration. The process involves precise preparation of supporting teeth, temporary protection, and final placement of natural-looking porcelain restorations that blend seamlessly with your smile while requiring standard oral hygiene maintenance.

Dr Collins and her assistant Amy were fantastic. I appreciate so much their care being a first time patient. We moved here a year ago and didn't know where to find a good dentist and they were highly recommended Advanced Dentistry and I was impressed the minute I walked in. I highly recommend them and I finally have a plan and clear direction for the next step.

I have been a patient for over ten years. I always feel like I'm taken care of in every aspect Every visit is timely and efficient. I never have to wait. My hygienist Jennifer is the best. She's friendly, always asks about my family and my health, and always listens to my concerns. I appreciate that she always explains everything. Dr. Lawson is also great. She's always kind, gentle, and thorough. Before I leave each visit, my next appointment is made and my out of pocket expenses are noted on my appointment card. All that in less than an hour is why I'll keep going back.

I recommend them very highly. The staff is friendly and helpful, the dentists are knowledgeable and attentive. I just had a root canal done a couple of days ago and as someone who's unfortunately had several of them prior at different places. this is by far the easiest, smoothest procedure ever.
