Our Services

Preventative Care, Comprehensive Dentistry, and dental implants

Preventative care is the key to a healthy mouth. Regular checkups allow us to treat issues before they become a problem. Whether you're looking for a cleaning or have comprehensive reconstructive needs, we'll make sure your smile is healthy and beautiful! It is our mission to deliver a comfortable and pain free experience that leaves you smiling.

Emergency Care & Toothache relief

All teeth are different and accidents happen. Whether your teeth are crooked, chipped, damaged or if you've had mouth trauma, our team of experts can treat you quickly and comfortably using the latest techniques and the finest materials. We see dental emergencies fast and efficiently, make steps to alleviate pain the same day, and can often provide treatment with minimal wait.

Whether you need a tooth removed or a root canal to save a tooth, we have all options available to get you out of pain fast.

Sedation Dentistry and Comfort care

We know the dentist can be a stressful and scary. Our team is dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable environment for people of all ages. We take their time with each patient and explain all of our tools and processes to alleviate any fear! For those of our patients who need a little extra anxiety reduction, we have IV sedation, Oral Sedation, and Nitrous Oxide (also known as laughing gas). Using these sedation techniques, our patients can be treated with little to no memory, an elimination of bad gag reflex, and may even sleep through the whole visit.

Implant Dentistry

Dental implants replace missing teeth in a way that look, feel and function like your natural teeth. With dental implants it is not necessary to do dental work on adjacent teeth for a bridge, or secure a partial denture, which are removable and have exposed metal. Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling that you may forget you ever lost a tooth. At our practice we have the most up to date technology and training in dental implants. We can offer you complete tooth replacement, even when other dentists have said implants are not possible for you.

After your consultation with CT:

The Surgeon places the implant onto the jawbone.
Next, the implant combines with the jawbone to create that strong, secure anchor for your new teeth.
Finally, after you’re completely healed, your permanent, customized teeth will be placed on your implant.

At our implant center, we do all three of the phases at one location, so there’s no need to make different appointments with different doctors all over town.

Smile Makeovers

The term “makeover” is a commonly used term to revamp an appearance of something - a complete transformation.

Your smile and its various components — teeth, gums, jaw structure and facial features — might also be a candidate for a makeover. It’s the answer to a smile we avoid showing in photos, cover with our hand when we’re speaking or laughing, or makes us feel older than we really are. In other words, it’s a comprehensive change to a smile that inhibits us from fully expressing ourselves in our friend, family or career relationships.

On the other hand, you may be more comfortable with a few subtle changes, perhaps even keeping slight imperfections that you see as part of the real “you.” Whichever path you take, the end result is a smile that makes you happy, and proud to show to others.

If you would like more information on smile makeovers through restorative or cosmetic dentistry, please contact us for a consultation.

Botox for TMJ, Facial Tension, and Teeth Grinding

Botox isn't just for treating wrinkles, which is a pleasant facial side effect from receiving Botox at the dentist, but if you have a TMJ disorder or have pain in your jaw, you may benefit from BOTOX© injections. We’ve helped many patients reduce and even eliminate headaches associated with teeth grinding (bruxism) and other orofacial conditions. Patients with locked jaw or hard-to-open jaws may also get relief from BOTOX© injections.

Your TMJ (Temporomandibular) joint is one of the most complex in your body. The muscles, cartilage, and tendons allow us to speak, eat, and swallow. Associated muscles of the head and face can lead to headaches and facial tension, which can manifest as pain with wrinkles and creases in the face. BOTOX© helps these muscles relax and alleviate the symptoms.

Many people grind their teeth or clench their jaw at night, which is a subconscious way to relieve stress. BOTOX© therapy causes the muscles to relax, helping maintain a youthful smile for years to come.

Crowns, Fillings, Veneers

We use all tooth colored materials to restore your teeth. We offer metal free and holistic options to make your smile as healthy and free of inflammation as possible. Our tooth colored fillings can restore many teeth, even some of the most damaged, but some may require crowns when fractures and decay leave our teeth vulnerable to future use. Our crowns and cosmetic veneers are state of the art and made by only the best labs here in the US. Their esthetics are beautiful and leave our patients feeling confident.

Invisalign Orthodontics

Most people are anxious about wearing braces because they’re afraid of how they’ll look, but Invisalign makes it possible to virtually eliminate the fear and anxiety often associated with wearing traditional braces.
Your smile tells a story about you, so it should always look its best. Invisalign can fix most dental problems in children and adults, and are comfortable to wear throughout the day, even when you’re eating. Invisalign help you perfect your smile without altering your lifestyle.
