Good to know

How often should I get a checkup?

It depends on your needs. The ADA says some people need a visit once or twice a year and others more often, so we'll set a schedule for you.

Do you do tooth-colored fillings?

Yes. We use tooth-colored material that blends in with your natural teeth.

Can my family come together?

Ask when you call, and we'll try to book family visits back to back.
