Services
General Dentistry
Our comprehensive general dentistry services focus on preventive care, early detection of oral health issues, and restorative treatments. We provide routine checkups, professional cleanings, and diagnostic imaging to maintain optimal oral health. Our approach emphasizes patient education about proper hygiene techniques and preventive measures to avoid dental problems before they develop.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without traditional braces. Our dentists create customized treatment plans using 3D imaging technology to gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. This option is ideal for adults and teens seeking discreet orthodontic correction while maintaining normal eating and oral hygiene routines.
Dental Crowns
We fabricate custom dental crowns to restore damaged or decayed teeth, improving both function and appearance. Using high-quality ceramic materials, our crowns mimic natural tooth structure while providing durable protection. The process involves precise tooth preparation, digital impressions, and placement of permanent restorations that blend seamlessly with your existing smile.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Our practice offers specialized oral appliance therapy for obstructive sleep apnea management. Custom-fitted devices reposition the jaw to maintain open airways during sleep. This non-invasive treatment effectively reduces snoring and improves sleep quality, providing an alternative to CPAP machines for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea.
Orthodontics
We provide traditional metal braces and modern orthodontic solutions for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues. Our treatment plans address crowding, spacing, and jaw alignment problems through carefully controlled tooth movement. Both adolescent and adult patients benefit from improved oral function and enhanced facial aesthetics through comprehensive orthodontic care.

I had pain while brushing on one of my front teeth. Called for an appointment and was seen quickly and problem solved. I was in the office less than an hour and left pain free. Thank you for your amazing staff and the amazing two dentists that serve the clients that put their trust in your very capable hands.

Michelle Matheson DDS is excellent in her field. Although I am very poor at maintaining a proper cleaning schedule, the staff and her have always been very supportive when I needed emergency care. Due to my work schedule the office is quite understanding in trying to accommodate my schedule. The support staff and front desk staff are also very good at their jobs, professional, yet friendly. The electronic messaging reminders for upcoming appointments enhances my poor memory and is an excellent addition to scheduling.
