Dental Examination
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
An oral cancer screening is a standard part of your routine examinations. We take a thorough look at all tissues of the mouth (cheeks, lips, gums, tongue, palate, throat, etc.) to note any abnormalities or areas of concern. If we see anything of concern, we will let you know and may recommend an evaluation by a specialist.

Teeth Cleaning
Fluoride Treatment
Dental Sealants
Sealants are recommended on children’s permanent molars soon after they first erupt. Sealants help to protect the deep grooves on the back teeth from developing cavities as this is a high risk area due to children’s snacking habits. Placing sealants is simple, quick and does not require the patient to be numb. We clean the tooth and then place a light-cured protective material in the grooves of the teeth. Sealants should last many years, but they do eventually wear away with time.

Fillings
Veneers
Veneers and cosmetic crowns can be a great way to enhance your smile. There are many reasons to consider veneers or cosmetic crowns such as closing gaps and spaces between the teeth, fixing alignment issues, changing the shape/appearance of a tooth, covering stained/discolored teeth, or covering chipped/cracked teeth. We can help give you the smile you’ve always wanted!
Crowns
There are several reasons a crown may be recommended: to protect a weak tooth (crack, decay), restore an already broken tooth, cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t a lot of tooth left, cover a misshaped or discolored tooth. This procedure requires 2 appointments. In the first appointment, we will build-up any broken down or weakened tooth structure, prep the tooth (reduce it to a miniature version of itself), and scan the area with our digital 3D scanner. You will leave this appointment with a temporary crown. At the second appointment, we will try on the new lab-fabricated crown and once we ensure a great fit, your new crown will be cemented!
Bridges
A bridge is an option for someone who is missing one or more teeth. The bridge fills the gap with one or more artificial teeth that are anchored to crowned teeth on both sides of the gap. Dental bridges can be quite difficult to keep clean, so it’s important to be diligent with your home care if you decide a bridge is right for you.

Deep Cleaning

Dentures
Complete dentures are replacement option for someone who has no teeth, while partial dentures are a replacement option for someone who still has some natural teeth remaining. Dentures and partial dentures allow the restoration of esthetics, function, and support for those who are missing teeth. Dentures and partial dentures are removable from the mouth and are typically made from gum-colored plastic and acrylic teeth.

Dental Implants
A dental implant is an option for someone who is missing one or more teeth. The dental implant body is placed by one of our trusted specialists and is allowed to heal for 3-4 months. After healing is complete, an implant crown can be placed at our office. An implant crown is the tooth-shaped crown that is placed on top of your dental implant which restores the area to proper function and esthetics.

Invisalign Orthodontics
Dr. Phan is a certified Invisalign provider and can work with you to create the smile you’ve always wanted. With Invisalign, teeth are aligned to their proper place with the use of clear guides – no brackets or wires! These guides fit tight on your teeth, making it nearly impossible for anyone to notice you’re wearing them. Having properly aligned teeth helps improve bite and crowding issues, which helps to decrease the rate of cavities and gum disease. If you’re ready to begin your journey to a perfect smile, give us a call and Dr. Phan would be happy to see if you are a candidate!

Teeth Whitening
We offer custom whitening trays that are made to be an exact fit to your teeth where you can whiten at home with prescription strength whitening gel. The amount of whitening that occurs is dependent on three factors: 1) the length of time each day/evening the tray is worn; 2) the number of days the tray is worn, and 3) on external stains vs. internal stains. External stains will respond more quickly than deep internal stains.
Cosmetic Dentistry
A standard of excellence in personalized dental care enables us to provide the quality dental services our patients deserve. We provide comprehensive treatment planning and use restorative and cosmetic dentistry to achieve your optimal dental health. Should a dental emergency occur, we make every effort to see and care for you as soon as possible.
