Adult and Pediatric Dentistry
What is dentistry?
Dentistry focuses on keeping your teeth, gums and mouth healthy with regular check-ups and more advanced treatment when needed. Taking care of your teeth and gums also plays a big role in overall health. Things like gum disease and tooth decay can lead to infections and other health problems.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
After you’ve received a referral from your primary care provider, we'll contact you to discuss next steps.
A typical appointment looks like this:
- Welcome We’ll get to know you and your dental and medical history so we can tailor your treatment to you.
- Care: Whether you're here for a routine check-up or a more advanced procedure, our compassionate experts will care for you every step of the way.
- Extra support: We work closely with your primary care provider or specialist to make sure your dental care is connected to your overall care.
- Specialized options: For complex cases, you can receive pediatric sedation and hospital-based dental services to ensure comfort and safety.
Your comfort and well-being are our priorities at every step of your care journey.
