Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through surgical placement of titanium posts. This service restores natural chewing function and prevents bone loss while offering aesthetic benefits. Patients receive both implant placement and restoration in one office.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom clear aligners to straighten teeth without metal brackets. The treatment addresses overcrowding, gaps, and bite issues while allowing removable wear for eating and special occasions. Digital planning ensures precise tooth movement.
Emergency Dentistry
Emergency dental services treat sudden tooth pain, fractures, and infections with prompt attention. Our team prioritizes same-day appointments to alleviate discomfort and prevent complications from dental trauma or acute conditions.
Cosmetic Restorations
Porcelain veneers, crowns, and bonding improve tooth appearance while maintaining functionality. These restorations address discoloration, chips, and shape irregularities using durable materials that mimic natural enamel for seamless results.
Pediatric Care
Specialized dental care for children includes preventive exams, fluoride treatments, and early orthodontic assessments. Our approach focuses on creating positive experiences through gentle techniques and age-appropriate education about oral hygiene.

From the moment you walk through the doors you feel at ease, which isn't easy to do in a clinic. The staff was very warm and friendly and Dr. Nelson was professional and thorough. I would recommend them to anyone looking for dental care needs! They make going to the dentist enjoyable.

I started going here on a recommendation of friend. A coworkers family have been going here for a very long time and recommend them too. Now my wife, daughter and granddaughter are all seeing Doc Brad and team. AND my wife is scared to death of dentists. Not Doc Brad Nelson! Oh and he likes Spam too!
