What most people want is no dentistry. Utilizing preventive dentistry, technology and caring attitudes, our ultimate goals are to gain your trust by being thorough but honest and to provide comfortable care. We want to help you preserve your natural teeth for life and help you maintain your health at an optimum level. Conservative dentistry means preserving natural tooth structure as well as trying to make existing restorations last as long as possible.
Our patients become like family because we treat them the way they would expect a family member to treat them-with honesty, selflessly, but striving to figure out the best options for treatment. We don't just offer the most ideal or expensive restorative option but consider pros and cons of no treatment or more simple repair. We aren't selling anything and are a no pressure place.
We take our charge to care for you seriously but we like to enjoy our days, laugh a lot, bird watch and enjoy our patients and each other. Most people don't understand dental issues any more than they know how their car motor works.

Invisalign's invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners will give you the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted.
And best of all, no one can tell you're wearing them.
Invisalign is great for adults and teenagers.
What is Invisalign?
Teeth that are badly stained, shaped or crooked may be improved by a veneer placed on the surface of the affected teeth.
Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic cemented over the front of your teeth to change their color or shape.
Sealants are liquid coatings that harden on the chewing surfaces of teeth and are showing a great deal of effectiveness in preventing cavities-even on teeth where decay has begun.
