We take pride in two things – how we treat our patients and the quality of our treatment. We highly value the patient education process and effective lines of communication with both our patients and their family dentists.

We are committed to continuously expanding our horizons of knowledge and technical expertise. Given what we know about periodontal disease, most people can keep their teeth for their lifetime. Everyone should be given that chance.

Our team is dedicated to delivering quality periodontal care in a personal and caring manner. Periodontal disease is present in epidemic proportions and often presents no symptoms until the destructive infectious process is advanced. Our commitment to health includes concern for the health of the gums and bone supporting your teeth, as well as your total body health. A beautiful smile and good oral health is accessible and deserved by everyone.

Quick Tip

Floss Daily!

You should floss your teeth at least once a day. Flossing in between your teeth removes food debris and plaque from in between the teeth that a toothbrush can’t reach. Plaque causes tooth decay and can lead to gum disease. Another great reason to floss is that recent studies have shown that flossing helps to prevent a heart attack or stroke.

When flossing, be sure to gently insert the floss in between the teeth, without snapping, which could damage the gum tissue. Gently move the floss up and down into the spaces between the gum and teeth. Floss the sides of all of your teeth, even if there isn’t a tooth next to another one. There are a number of dental products available that are designed to make flossing easier, such as disposable dental flossers.
