Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants restore missing teeth through surgically placed titanium posts that fuse with jawbone tissue. This solution prevents bone loss, improves speech, and restores chewing functionality. Ideal for patients seeking permanent, natural-looking replacements that integrate seamlessly with existing teeth.
Crowns
Crowns strengthen damaged or decayed teeth using custom-fitted porcelain, zirconia, or metal alloy coverings. These restorations enhance tooth durability while maintaining aesthetic appeal. We create precise crowns that match natural tooth coloration and bite alignment for optimal comfort.
Dentures
Complete and partial dentures replace multiple missing teeth through removable acrylic-based prosthetics. Our custom-fitted solutions restore oral function and facial structure while ensuring comfort during daily activities. We provide both immediate and conventional denture options with personalized adjustments.
Teeth Cleaning
Professional teeth cleanings remove plaque buildup and prevent gum disease through ultrasonic scaling and polishing techniques. Our hygienists perform thorough examinations during each visit, identifying potential issues before they escalate into complex problems requiring invasive treatments.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic procedures improve dental aesthetics through whitening, veneers, and tooth reshaping. We offer personalized smile transformations using porcelain veneers and professional-grade bleaching systems. Our consultations determine optimal treatments for correcting discoloration, misalignment, and minor structural imperfections.

I've been going to see Mandy and Dr. Lenihan for all my life! They are amazing. Not only do they take great care of my teeth, they keep up with what's going on in my life. It's a comfortable and friendly place. They always go above and beyond. :

Elite Dental is the only one for me. The first dentist I went to in Oak Ridge sent me through the ceiling being in too much of a rush with a novacaine injection. He might as well of bludgeoned it in with a hammer. However, then I found Dr. Lenihan and staff. Elite Dental folks are gentle, caring and thorough. Dr. Lenihan knows how to inject novacaine with only the slightest bit of discomfort - - as far as I'm concerned, that's an art form. Hygenists are top notch, too.
