Services
Teeth Whitening
Our professional teeth whitening services eliminate stains from coffee, food, and smoking to enhance your smile's appearance. Using advanced techniques, we ensure safe, effective results tailored to your dental sensitivity level. Patients receive post-treatment care instructions to maintain their brighter smiles long-term.
Same Day Crowns
Utilizing CEREC technology, we create and place durable, natural-looking crowns in a single appointment. This eliminates multiple visits while restoring damaged teeth' strength and aesthetics. Our same-day process maintains precision through digital impressions and in-office milling.
Dental Emergency
We prioritize prompt treatment for dental emergencies including trauma, severe pain, and broken restorations. Available during office hours and after-hours, our team addresses issues like infections and lost fillings immediately. Emergency protocols ensure rapid pain relief and infection prevention.
Pain-Free Fillings
Our Solea laser technology enables anesthesia-free, painless cavity treatment with precise decay removal. This minimally invasive approach preserves more natural tooth structure while providing immediate, durable restorations. Patients experience reduced anxiety and faster recovery times.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Routine oral cancer screenings use advanced visualization tools to detect early abnormalities in mouth tissues. This preventive service includes comprehensive examinations during regular check-ups, improving early diagnosis rates for better treatment outcomes. Education on risk factors accompanies each screening.

Report
I had my first appointment at Destination Dental today and highly recommend them for people with dental anxiety and issues with laying flat. Dr Neil and Holly listened to my concerns, explained everything in much detail, and did a fantastic job fixing two cavities with their Solea machine. I have to go back for them to fix another, but have less anxiety than normal, because of how they took such great care of me today. Thank you!

Have called repeatedly to ask for information as a new patient and establish care and cannot get through to anyone. Left a message and it's been 3 weeks and I have not heard back. Would be nice to let people know if they are not accepting new patients.

Dr. Mighall and the staff are not only professional, but exceptionally good at their jobs. I've heard many dental practitioners in the area comment on the level of work Dr. Mighall performs and how his staff supports that work with their areas of expertise. Everyone is thorough from the work they do to teaching proper after care and then making sure you are scheduled to continue the ongoing care of your dental health.

Their attention to detail is exceptional. I love the appointment notification system that sends me a text to remind me along with an email. Their approach is based on common sense with respect for how I want things. Best dentist i have ever had!
