Porcelain veneers can dramatically improve the appearance of chipped, misshapen, gapped, stained or misaligned teeth. A simple procedure bonds the veneers to your teeth, concealing flaws and giving you a stunning smile.

All-porcelain crowns are an attractive, natural-looking way to restore damaged teeth and improve the appearance of cosmetic imperfections. No metal is used to craft these crowns, so there is no dark line seen along the gum line.

Filling cavities can now be accomplished using tooth-colored resin materials instead of dark metal. Tooth-colored fillings are virtually undetectable to keep your smile bright.

For many years fear caused me to create countless excuses to avoid any and every dental office that has been recommended to me. Even my husband could not convince me that going to the dentist could be a positive experience or as he put it, "like a day at the spa with the nicest people on Earth." He finally asked that I be placed on a short call list and I knew I could hide no longer. I am now thankful for that.

The personal care I received in your office rises to a standard that is unheard of. The kindness shown to both my husband and me is not a matter of training or instruction. We believe, rather, that it is a testament to the higher character, compassion and gentle spirits of each person in your office. We consider ourselves blessed to have found you.
