What to expect
As a new patient, we will develop a complete picture of your present oral health. We will ask for your dental and medical history. The first visit will include a cleaning and x-rays by the hygienist. The dentist will then provide a complete oral health evaluation, checking for decay, oral cancer and gum/bone disease. Digital x-rays will identify hidden problems. This information will guide us in planning your treatment. In most cases, treatment will begin at the follow-up visit.
We are a modern office offering gentle, compassionate, high quality dentistry for the entire family. We take pride in our ability to provide the finest dental care for our patients.

Post Op Instructions
What to expect after Fillings…
We advise waiting until local anesthesia wears off before eating. For silver fillings, do not chew on the newly filled tooth for 24 hours.
Occasionally, sensitivity to hot and cold foods may be experienced for a few weeks after a filling has been placed, but gradually subside. Once the local anesthesia wears off, your bite may feel unusual and may need an adjustment. Please call for a brief appointment.
Always call us if you have any questions or concerns after a procedure.
What to expect after Crowns…
Sensitivity to hot and cold and soreness of the gum around the tooth is to be expected after a crown appointment. Avoid sticky or crunchy foods while wearing the temporary crown. Avoid also vigorous flossing of the area. If the temporary crown falls off, please contact our office right away for a brief re-cementation appointment. This will prevent discomfort and unnecessary movement of teeth. Once the permanent crown has been cemented, the sensitivity in the tooth will subside.
What to expect after Complete Dentures and Partial Dentures…
Sore spots may develop along the denture borders or any other area. This suggests that the denture might need some adjustments. Please call our office for an appointment. It is common to to need minor adjustments when you first get your partial or complete denture.
What to expect after Extractions…
After an extraction, there should be no strenuous or physical activity for the rest of the day. Refrain from rinsing, spitting, smoking and drinking alcohol for the first 24 hours. Diet should consist of cool, soft foods for a week after the surgery. Avoid foods that are hot, hard, spicy or acidic. Do not use a straw when drinking.
Continue to clean all of your other teeth as usual. Keep the surgical area as clean as possible. Begin rinsing with warm salt water two days after the extraction. You can expect some tenderness, tooth sensitivity and slight bleeding.
If you experience bleeding, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water, apply direct pressure to the area for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not spit or rinse. To reduce any post-operative swelling, place an ice pack on the face for 20 minutes, alternating off and on.
