- Dental Examination
- X-rays
- Teeth CleaningAlong with these new resolutions, you should schedule a checkup and cleaning with your dentist. It is important to visit the dentist regularly for several reasons. First and foremost, regular dental visits can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease, leading to more serious health problems if left untreated. Dental cleanings and check-ups can remove plaque and tartar that can build up on teeth over time, and your dentist can identify and treat any issues in the early stages before they become more serious.
- Fluoride TreatmentThe Center for Disease Control and Prevention emphasizes how critical it is to receive the right amount of fluoride to control and prevent cavities. It is known in the dental industry that people who consume the right amount of fluoridated water (starting from birth) will have about 35% less decay throughout their adult years.

- OrthodonticsDr. John Baker has been with the BDC Family since the year 2000, specializing in orthodontics. Dr. Baker has been fascinated by orthodontics ever since he’s experienced the change it made in his own mouth and enjoys that orthodontics is the perfect blend of bioengineering and cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Baker is inspired by being able to build beautiful smiles and relationships with his patients. He strives to provide a service that it minimizes discomfort as much as possible for his patients, as him and his wife, Dr. Silvia, have experienced past dental discomfort and trauma themselves. Keeping his own experiences in mind, Dr. Baker has a strong focus on early intervention and preventative treatment and has found great success in doing so on many patients who were referred to him at an early age (7-9 years old), including his own children! It brings Dr. Baker true joy being able to change patients’ lives and self-esteem – helping someone smile confidently, who would never do so before. In his service, Dr. Baker strives for perfection and never sacrifices ethics. He has many years of education and knowledge, working his way to the top, while going through 4 years of college, 4 years of an Ivy League dental school, and 2 years of an Ivy League Orthodontic school but never loses sight of the fact that “nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care!” In his free time, Dr. Baker loves to spend time fishing, boating, and vacationing with his family of 6.

- BracesIf you’re thinking about straightening your teeth, the first thing that likely comes to mind is a set of clunky metal braces. Although you’re undoubtedly looking forward to the day that you can look in the mirror and see a straight smile instead of a mouth full of metal, the 1 to 2 years of self-consciousness might not seem to be worth the outcome.
- Teeth WhiteningAlcohol contains a number of compounds that can stain your teeth and make them look yellow or brown. The longer you drink, the more likely your teeth will become stained as these compounds build up on the enamel. Wine and beer are the worst culprits, but other alcoholic beverages such as whiskey, vodka, and rum can also stain your teeth over time. Avoiding sugary mixers and darker drinks will help reduce the risk of staining, but the best way to prevent it is to limit your intake of alcohol. If you already have stains on your teeth, consider talking to a dental professional about professional whitening options.
- Cosmetic DentistryOne of the main reasons that patients care about the health of their teeth is because healthy teeth and beautiful teeth are usually one in the same! However, there are times that your teeth could be healthy, but still not give you the smile that you’re proud of. We have several options that simply work on the beauty of your smile, which significantly increases confidence and self esteem.
- General DentistryGeneral dentistry covers a variety of services. Below you’ll find what we can do to help you or your family achieve or maintain optimum oral health. Part of a healthy, beautiful smile is routine checkups to identify potential issues before they become problems. Preventing these issues is much more cost effective than treating them after the fact. Make sure to schedule your bi-annual cleanings and checkups to maintain great oral health long term!
