I Need A Checkup & Cleaning

The American Dental Association recommends scheduling standard visits every six months to prevent common dental concerns, such as cavities and gum disease. Routine visits to our office near Lakewood Village enable us to thoroughly examine your teeth and gums, take X-rays to detect any underlying issues, and screen the soft tissues of your mouth for early signs of oral cancer, all to safeguard your smile.

I Need A Dentist For My Child

We gladly welcome patients of all ages, including children. We’re happy to provide standard preventive services, like cleanings and exams, as well as topical fluoride treatments to strengthen their enamel and sealants to prevent cavities. If your child participates in team sports or activities, we can also provide a custom-fitted mouthguard to avoid potential emergencies.

I Want To Enhance My Smile

One of the first things others notice about you is the quality of your grin, and dental flaws like chips, cracks, stubborn stains, or mild misalignments can detract from your appearance. Thankfully, our practice offers various cosmetic services, such as professional-grade teeth whitening, placing veneers, replacing outdated metallic restorations with tooth-colored repairs, and straightening your smile with Invisalign, to address aesthetic concerns and boost your confidence.

I Have A Cavity/Broken Tooth

Any damage to the structure of your teeth potentially increases the likelihood of developing cavities or sustaining additional injuries. Fortunately, our dentists near Lakewood Village offer durable repairs, such as tooth-colored fillings or customized dental crowns, to restore the appearance and functionality of your damaged tooth.

I Am Missing 1 Or More Teeth

Gaps in your grin from missing teeth can make you feel self-conscious about the changes to your looks or your ability to eat and speak confidently. Thankfully, we offer multiple options to rebuild your arches with dental bridges, dentures, or dental implants, depending on your individual needs.

I Am Concerned About Sleep Apnea

If you snore frequently or often wake in the morning feeling more tired than when you fell asleep, you might have a disorder in which your breathing is repeatedly interrupted at night, referred to as sleep apnea. Our providers can design custom-fitted oral appliances, such as a nightguard, to help position your jaw correctly and encourage healthy inhalations and exhalations for quality rest at night.

I Am Worried About Bleeding Gums

Gum disease starts small but often progresses because it doesn’t always exhibit noticeable symptoms until it reaches more advanced stages. If you notice that your connective tissues look swollen, darker than usual, or bleed when you brush or floss, we can help. Scaling and root planing provides a deep clean and encourages healthy tissue to regrow, though we can also provide antibiotics to kill harmful bacteria or remove damaged tissue with laser therapy

I Am In Pain & Need Help

You can never predict when a dental emergency will occur, but our team will try to get you in to be seen as soon as possible to address it. We also offer nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas) to help you feel calm and comfortable once you arrive. Then, we’ll examine your mouth and devise an appropriate treatment plan to address the underlying issue.

We Welcome Dental Insurance

Dental insurance is one of the most cost-effective ways to get the care you need. If you have coverage, we’ll make sure you get the most out of it! As an insurance-friendly dental office near Lakewood Village, our experienced team will gladly handle all the paperwork and file claims on your behalf. We’ll also help you understand your benefits, give you an estimate of your personal costs, and plan your treatment in a way that keeps more money in your pocket.

We Happily Accept Flexible Financing

Even without insurance, affordable dental care is still within reach! Our office partners with CareCredit and Sunbit, two trusted financing companies that make it easy to divide treatment costs into manageable monthly payments.

The flexible plans these platforms offer often come with low or no interest for qualified patients. This means you can receive the treatments you need now and worry about the cost later.

We Have an In-House Membership Plan

Imagine getting the benefits of dental insurance without all the headaches. That’s what our in-house membership plan offers! For one low annual fee, you can receive two regular cleanings, X-rays, and emergency visits. You’ll also gain access to a 15% discount on all other necessary treatments. It’s a program to put the power of your care back in your hands.

If you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact our office for specifics. We’ll be happy to help you get the care you deserve without the limitations of traditional insurance.
