As a practice, we belive that preventative care & education are the keys to optimal dental health. We strive to provide "dental health care" vs. "disease care." That's why we focus on thorough exams - checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when neccessary. We also know that routine cleanings & flossing are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we're also concerned about your overall health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your health, any new medications, and any illness that may impact your dental health.
