- Patient is Always Number One
- Amazing, Experienced Dental Team

Your First Visit
Our team can decrease your potential for more advanced dental problems through regular preventive dental checkups and our approach to “Lifetime Care.” Any small problem, if left untreated, can become more severe over time and lead to serious consequences for your oral health. A small cavity, for instance, can go on to destroy an entire tooth and spread to nearby teeth that are otherwise healthy. In a similar way, gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss for adults in the U.S., while oral cancer claims approximately one life every hour. If diagnosed and treated early, patients can enjoy better health and wellbeing.
In order to begin a lifetime of care for your oral health, children should visit a dentist by their first birthday for a well-baby checkup. We offer a “happy visit” to our tiniest of patients and encourage regular visits to build a great foundation of oral care.
