- Dental ExaminationThe sooner a child begins getting regular dental checkups, the better chance that he/she will have at maintaining a healthy & beautiful smile that can last a lifetime. This is why the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that children receive their first dental examination by the time they reach the age of one. If your child is in need of a dental exam, please contact our office and we will be happy to help you schedule an appointment.

- BridgesA fixed bridge is the most popular and consists of a filler tooth that is attached to two crowns, which fit over the existing teeth and hold the bridge in place.
- Dental BondingThere are a number of treatment options that can assist with these issues. One such treatment is porcelain veneers. These veneers look like your natural teeth and are attached permanently to your existing teeth. They can also be used to fill any gaps in your smile. Another option is to utilize composite bonding.
