Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions through titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone. This service restores chewing function and prevents bone loss while supporting crowns, bridges, or dentures. Our team utilizes advanced imaging technology to ensure precise placement and long-term success.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using custom-made, removable clear aligners that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. This discreet orthodontic solution offers comfort and convenience without traditional metal braces. Our dentists create personalized treatment plans using digital scanning technology for optimal results.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry helps anxious patients receive necessary dental care through medication-induced relaxation during procedures. We offer oral sedation options that allow patients to remain conscious but comfortable throughout treatments. This service enables completion of complex dental work in fewer visits with reduced stress.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry improves smile aesthetics through veneers, teeth whitening, and smile makeover procedures. Our dentists use porcelain veneers to correct tooth shape, color, and spacing while professional whitening systems brighten stained teeth. These treatments combine artistry with dental science for natural-looking transformations.
Emergency Dentistry
Emergency dental services address acute oral health issues like toothaches, broken teeth, and knocked-out teeth requiring immediate attention. Our team provides prompt diagnosis and treatment to relieve pain and prevent complications. We maintain availability for same-day appointments to handle dental emergencies effectively.

"Dr. Lisa" is abrasive & arrogant on a good day. A couple of the hygienists are really great but this practice has proven themselves to be a colossal disappointment in nearly every area. Christine, office manager, does a great job at damage control but do yourself a favor, Go elsewhere.

Dr Ken is the best, he has replaced old fillings, performed root canals, placed crowns and implants etc.! all expertly. I moved out of the area and still visit 3 times a year for monitoring of my oral status and for cleanings with Laura who is a great person and wonderful hygienist.

Dr. Ken is the best. I barely feel it when he gives me novacaine- he is so skilled with a needle! Staff is friendly and helpful too. Going to the dentist is never a painful experience.

I was in the chair on time. The dentist and his assistant was thorough and sociable. The procedure was painless. The doctor answered all my questions and finished in a timely manner. As usual Coleen professional. I've run out of accolades.

I was a reluctant, white knuckle patient on my first visit for sedation years ago. From that experience on I have been at ease and comfortable. It starts with the competent front desk staff thru every cleaning and procedure. My hygienist, Sheila is thorough, professional and always has a smile and a twinkle in her eye. Dr. Campbell and his assistants make even the scary stuff easy with attention to detail and genuine concern.
