Plus, you’ll enjoy discounts on other services. We have options for children, adults, and patients vulnerable to gum disease.

I am dealing with a dental emergency. Can you help? + –

Absolutely. We encourage you to make an appointment if you are dealing with any dental discomfort, damage, or tooth loss. Our team will try to see you on the same day whenever possible. Our goal is to get you out of pain first, then restore the health and function of your smile.

When can I bring my child in for an appointment? + –

Children as young as 2 years old are welcome at our practice. That sounds young, but the earlier you start prioritizing your child’s dental health, the better.
