Family Dentistry
Every family should have a high-quality dentist with whom they can grow and build a trusting relationship.
We are a family-oriented dental practice that provides patients with all of the services they need to maintain excellent oral health. While we offer numerous dental services, gentle and thorough regular cleanings and check-ups are still the foundation of our practice.
Family-Oriented Dentistry
Our team recognizes the importance of providing the services families need and customizing dental care for kids. Our office is warm and inviting and a peaceful place where our hygienists, assistants, and front desk staff accommodate your every need. We do whatever it takes to ensure that you’re comfortable and happy during your visit.
Outstanding Oral Hygiene
Regular cleanings and check-ups are crucial to a healthy preventive care routine. We provide a thorough teeth cleaning during these routine appointments to remove plaque and tartar that build up on your teeth over the months.
By examining your teeth during this visit, we can screen for issues like tooth decay or gum disease that may be developing. Instead of waiting until a problem is in advanced stages, we can identify them early and avoid extensive treatment in the future.
Healthy Smiles for Children of All Ages
We recommend your child start seeing a dentist early to monitor their development. As children lose baby teeth and permanent teeth emerge, it’s important to check-in and ensure that their dental development is progressing normally.
We also know how valuable your time is and will do everything to ensure that we begin your regular visits on time and complete them efficiently.
All the Dental Services Your Family Needs
Hopefully, with proper oral hygiene care and regular cleanings and check-ups at our office, your teeth will be healthy and problem-free. However, if you require treatment, we can treat most problems here at our comfortable dental office. For example, we can replace missing teeth, improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry, provide orthodontic care, and relieve pain.
If you do happen to require a service that our office does not provide, we will refer you to a qualified, local specialist to fulfill your needs.
We look forward to satisfying more patients each day. Call our office to schedule an appointment for you and your family.
Frequently Asked Questions
Even with excellent hygiene habits, it's easy to miss small areas of your teeth. Over time, the missed plaque will harden into tartar, which can only be removed with a dental hygienist's tools. When tartar accumulates beneath the gum line, the end result is red, puffy, inflamed gums – the beginnings of periodontal disease.

Family Dentistry Technology
Rotary Endodontics
Rotary endodontics uses flexible precision instruments to improve root canal treatment outcomes and the patient experience. By using this advanced technology, the need for root canal retreatment is reduced, and the entire process takes less time.
Digital X-Rays
Modern digital dental x-rays benefit patients in several ways:
- Digital x-rays expose patients to considerably less radiation than conventional film x-rays.
- Digital x-rays require almost no time for development, reducing time spent waiting in the dental chair.
- Digital x-rays allow for incredibly precise and accurate images for timely diagnoses.
- Digital x-rays are securely stored in your digital file and can be securely sent to your insurance company or specialists when necessary.
Because no chemicals are needed for developing and no space is needed for film storage, digital x-rays are better for the environment.
Testimonial
My daughter left happy and said it was a piece of cake!
Dr. H and Michelle were excellent with my 13 year old daughter and her first filling. He was very gentle and attentive to her feelings. Explained everything that was going to happen and continued throughout the procedure. Michelle made sure she was comfortable and talked to her the whole time. My daughter left happy and said it was a piece of cake!
