- X-raysWith panoramic x-rays (often called Panorex), we will see your jaws, joints, teeth and all of the supporting bone. We also can see some of your nose, sinuses, and other small bones and ligaments between your head and your neck.
- Teeth Cleaning
- Dental SealantsWe always use magnification to see the finest details inside your mouth. We are also constantly reviewing and evaluating tools and materials to use the best materials for fillings, bonding, sealants, sterilization, polishing, homecare, etc. All the dental materials we use are BPA free. You may notice one piece of common technology not on display. We have decided not to have TVs. We try really hard to not give you enough time to watch a show!
- Fillings
- CrownsFast and easy repairs: if you have a cavity or other problem that needs a repair, Dr. Amy can do one-visit crowns with CEREC, increase comfort using a Laser in place of a drill, and use the most effective and beautiful materials available.
- Dental Bonding
- Root Canal TreatmentMore: Dr. Amy appreciates that people who concentrate on one area get really good at it. She works closely with people who specialize in orthodontics, gums, extractions, implants, root canals, etc., and if you need those services, she will make sure you get to someone who will be the best fit for you and will communicate with the specialists to make sure they get the information they need, and we get the information we need back from them.

- Tooth Extractions
- OrthodonticsThumbsucking and pacifier use have been linked to ear infections and can cause the jaws to grow in directions that may require teeth straightening (orthodontics) and speech therapy later. We recommend that your child stop the habit before age 2, definitely before the permanent teeth come in. We have lots of good ideas how to break this habit that we will share with you when you come in for a dental visit. David Decides About Thumbsucking, by Susan Heitler, PhD has many good suggestions. A thumb guard will make the sucking behavior unsatisfying, check out the ThumbGuard.
