- X-raysA Panoramic X-ray is not designed to find cavities, but rather it reveals impacted teeth, bone abnormalities, fractures, infections, cysts and/or tumors. A Panoramic X-ray provides information that other dental x-rays cannot show. Based upon this information, we can assist you in securing the proper dental care.

- Teeth CleaningCleanings should be performed every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Plaque consists of masses of bacteria that grow between and on teeth, at and below the gum line. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. A routine dental cleaning should include scaling, root planing and polishing.
- Fluoride TreatmentLouise R. First, DMD focuses on a preventative approach to dentistry. Polishing, flossing, and fluoride treatments are each included in your routine care.
- Dental SealantsA sealant is a thin, plastic-like material applied to the chewing surfaces of a child's permanent first and second molars. The sealant fills the grooves and depressions of the tooth preventing cavity-causing buildup. Sealants can help prevent cavities from forming in the deep grooves of a tooth.
- FillingsAmalgam (silver) fillings are a conservative choice and are also well-tolerated. However, due to their dark color, they are more noticeable than composite restorations and are not recommended for fillings in very visible areas. Amalgam fillings generally last longer than composite restorations.
- Resin CompositeThe direct technique usually involves placing composite resin on the outside of the tooth using bonding. Because of that, the direct technique is usually referred to as bonding.
- VeneersVeneers are a cosmetic dental procedure in which a thin layer of porcelain or composite material is cemented or placed over the outside of your tooth.
- Crowns“ I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation and my gratitude for the way you and your staff handled my recent problem with a crown becoming loose on its abutment. You got me in the same day that I called and then, upon my return to complete the repair, you were able to make said repair in the most efficient and economical manner. You saved the crown and saved me some money. Though a trip to see the dentist is not considered something to look forward to, I always enjoy seeing all of your smiling faces and experiencing your friendly and professional demeanors.”

- Root Canal TreatmentRoot canal treatment, also referred to as root canal therapy or endodontic therapy, is used to save an infected or damaged tooth and avoid having to remove it.
- Deep CleaningPeriodontal treatment typically involves containing the bacteria through deep cleaning. This deep cleaning consists of scaling and root planning which clears the bacterial buildup along the root of the teeth. We also suggest specific toothpastes and mouth rinses. In severe cases, we may refer you to the care of a periodontist, a dentist who specializes in gum care.
- DenturesWe will also clean your complete dentures and partials for you. We remove food, plaque and other deposits by soaking and brushing with a nonabrasive denture cleaner. Then, we use an ultrasonic cleaner to clean the areas a brush cannot reach. You will be happy with your clean, comfortable partial or denture.
- Dental ImplantsA dental implant is an ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth for reasons like injury or periodontal disease.

- Orthodontics
- Invisalign OrthodonticsThe Invisalign® system begins in the dentist or orthodontist’s office with taking molds to design a your trays. Patients switch trays every two weeks to gradually shift the teeth. The system requires a visit to the office every six weeks so that treatment can be monitored. Once treatment is complete, a patient will likely be given a retainer to maintain the smile.
- BracesBraces are the most common orthodontic treatment. In this method, arch wires are threaded through brackets that are bonded to the surface of the teeth. The arch wires act as a track, and guide each tooth to its proper position. There are several types of orthodontic braces available, including the more traditional metal braces, ceramic "tooth colored" braces, as well as clear plastic braces. Invisalign® is another popular option for teeth alignment.
