Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that mimic natural teeth. Our titanium-based implants fuse with jawbone tissue over 3-6 months, offering improved speech, self-esteem, and oral health. Ideal for single or multiple tooth replacements, this surgical procedure preserves adjacent teeth while restoring full functionality. Patients benefit from durable results lasting decades with proper care.
Teeth Whitening
Professional in-office teeth whitening delivers immediate results using high-concentration bleaching gels. This safe procedure removes extrinsic stains caused by diet, tobacco, or aging while protecting enamel integrity. Patients receive customized treatment plans addressing sensitivity concerns, with visible improvements in 60-90 minutes. Maintenance guidance ensures long-lasting effects.
Porcelain Veneers
Custom porcelain veneers address cosmetic dental issues including discoloration, gaps, and uneven teeth. These thin shells bond to tooth surfaces for aesthetic improvement while maintaining stain resistance. The two-visit process includes enamel preparation and precise bonding, with proper care ensuring 10+ year longevity.
Root Canals
Root canal therapy saves infected or decayed teeth through nerve removal and internal cleaning. Modern techniques minimize discomfort, with most procedures completed in one visit. Post-treatment crowns protect restored teeth, preserving natural bite function and preventing adjacent tooth strain.
Child Dentistry
Specialized dental services for children focus on preventive care and early oral health education. Our approach includes sealants, fluoride treatments, and trauma management in a child-friendly environment. We emphasize establishing positive dental habits through engaging, stress-free visits.

A great experience! Which is a blessing since I don't particularly enjoy the dentist. Dr. Barthold did a great job explaining what he was seeing. Respectful and kind staff. I will continue care here!

I called to inquire about options for my dad who is on medical assistance, and Sara was very kind and pointed me in the right direction, even though this clinic wasn't going to be able to help him. I really appreciated her empathy and understanding!
