Services
Dental Implants
We create customized dental implant solutions in collaboration with specialists to replace missing teeth. Our process ensures proper functionality and natural appearance for single tooth replacements, multiple missing teeth, or removable appliance alternatives. Implants help maintain facial structure and prevent bone loss while providing permanent tooth replacement options.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic services include veneers, bonding, and teeth whitening to improve smile aesthetics. We address discoloration, gaps, and tooth shape irregularities using porcelain veneers, composite bonding materials, and professional bleaching systems. These treatments enhance tooth color, alignment, and overall appearance while maintaining natural tooth structure.
Root Canal Therapy
We perform root canal procedures on front and premolar teeth to save infected or damaged teeth. This treatment removes diseased tissue, prevents infection spread, and restores tooth functionality. Modern techniques ensure comfortable procedures with high success rates for preserving natural teeth long-term.
Orthodontic Services
We offer orthodontic solutions for correcting misaligned teeth and jaw issues. Our treatments address crooked teeth, overcrowding, and bite problems using traditional braces. These interventions improve both dental function and aesthetic appearance while preventing future oral health complications from improper alignment.
Periodontal Treatment
Our periodontal services include cleanings and deep scaling procedures to treat gum disease. We offer basic prophylaxis for routine maintenance and advanced treatments like root planing for patients with tartar buildup below the gum line. These interventions help maintain gum health and prevent tooth loss from periodontal disease.

Long Branch is a wonderful place. Great people who care about the patients. Being nice, up-to- date on dental practices and treatment makes a trip to the dentist much less stressful. Can't say enough good things!

Aug 27, 2019 Report
Visiting from out of town. Went to every store looking for wax for my sons braces. Unfortunately you have to drive 40 miles to like super Walmart or something. Anyway I happen to see a worker from here outside of Another store on their lunch break and asked for the office location. I haven't see any cvs or a dental office since we got here last week. So I go in to ask to buy some wax for his braces and the lady was like we don't sell them and only have them for our patients.

I mean really. I just told you my situation and your office couldn't spare a small thing of wax. ( FYI they are only 59 in store but for him to stop hurting I would of bought a box) I didn't realize that would set you back. But she did recommend me driving across town to a shop that had them. She called to see if they had any. I do appreciate that. I would recommend that being something you could give someone visiting your area if they come in looking for it. I don't think you will go out of business over that. Not a lot of people come in asking for wax for braces anyway. Big Thanks All the way From Georgia
