Smiles For Life offers a full array of dental services to help you maintain healthy teeth. You can read more on this page about specific services.

1. We strive to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to dentistry. Recent research has shown a strong and direct connection of the mouth to other systemic diseases. By looking at the patients overall health, habits and individual issues we are better able to bring their mouth back to health.

2. One of our main goals is minimally invasive dentistry or preservation of our natural tooth structure. We use state-of-the-art technology like the Diagnodent Laser Cavity Detector to catch cavities as they just start and remove only the decay and keep as much of the natural tooth structure in tact as possible.

3. For the comfort of our patients we offer soothing, warm neck wraps and warm hand paraffin treatments in a relaxed environment.

4. We now offer our patients Vizilite Oral Cancer Screenings. To learn more about this innovative treatment visit: http://www.vizilite.com.

Initial Oral Examination
Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will also take x-rays, which includes the panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth.

Teeth Bleaching
Our state-of-the-art, in-office Power Bleaching system will make your teeth whiter in less than 1.5 hours. Another option is our home bleaching system you take with you for results in 2 weeks. You can also consider a combination program of both systems for optimal, long-term results.

Crowns and Veneers
You can have a new smile with all-porcelain crowns (empressed material) on the anterior teeth. For the posterior, we use porcelain fused to metal.

Fillings: Resin
Tooth-colored fillings that are light-cured to match your teeth. Amalgam: Silver-colored fillings, more durable material.

Periodontal Treatment
You should have a standard cleaning at least twice a year. A periodontal treatment includes an Adult Prophy (basic cleaning). If it has been over a year since your last cleaning, possible treatment will include either Periodontal Scaling (deeper) or Root Planning and Scaling (requires anesthetic).

Mouth Guards
Whether you are an athlete or casual sports participant, you should wear a mouth guard to protect your teeth. If you grind your teeth while you sleep, a bite guard will help reduce symptoms of TMJ. We custom make mouth guards in both soft and hard materials.

Removable Dental Prosthesis
For missing teeth, we can make dentures or removable partials for you.
