4. Personalized plan – preventive tips and any recommended treatment with timelines and costs.

Prevention that actually works

• Daily brushing with a soft brush + between-teeth cleaning (floss, picks, or water flosser).
• Rinse after coffee/tea/wine; limit frequent snacking.
• Fluoride and sealants for high-risk areas.
• Night guard if you clench or grind.
• Regular checkups every 6 months (or 3–4 months for periodontal care).

Restorative care, tailored to you

• Small cavities: Conservative composite fillings that blend with your enamel.
• Larger damage: Inlays/onlays or crowns for strength and longevity.
• Missing teeth: Implants, bridges, or partial dentures to restore chewing and balance.
• Infected/painful teeth: Root canal therapy to relieve pain and save the tooth; extraction only when necessary—with a plan for replacement.

Comfort & technology

• Thorough local anesthesia and calm, step-by-step pacing; nitrous oxide available.
• Digital X-rays for crisp images with low radiation.
• Intraoral cameras so you can see what we see.
• Digital scans (when indicated) for accurate, gag-free impressions.

Cost & insurance
