We would like to invite you to visit our office where our registered dental hygienists, Ann Crain with over 17 years experience and Lori Wham with over 5 years experience strive to offer their patients the highest quality dental hygiene care. 

  • Young Children- We understand the significance of a child's first dental visit. We see children ages 3 and up for dental cleaning and fluoride treatment.  The purpose of this first visit is to establish a positive relationship with your child.  We strive to provide a fun and entertaining experience.  As a special keepsake, we print out a dental “report card” so they can remember their visit.
  • Adult Patients- We treat many adult patients as well.  We are certified to monitor Nitrous oxide, (laughing gas) which we offer to our apprehensive patients.
  • Periodontally Involved Patients- Gum disease is the  #1 cause of tooth loss for adults.  We do a periodontal screening yearly on all of our adult patients.  We can treat mild to moderate periodontitis at our office.  The procedure is called scaling and root planing.  It is a careful cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and calculus (tartar) from deep periodontal pockets and smooths the tooth root to remove bacterial toxins. An ultrasonic scaler is used to aid in the removal of the toxins and calculus from the teeth. In order to make this procedure more pleasant we use a product called Oraqix, which numbs the gums without an injection. We also use an adjunctive therapy with SRP (Scaling and Root Planing) that places antimicrobials directly in selected sites. This product is called Arestin.
  • Additional Dental Hygiene Services- Desensitizing treatments for sensitive teeth. We offer in office and take home fluoride products as well as dry mouth treatments, We are proud to be able to offer our patients the latest in digital technology.  We have digital x-rays, which offers decreased exposure to radiation and clearer images.  We have intraoral cameras and a special dental camera to show you pictures of your teeth. Prophy Jet-aids in the removal of stain.  Nitrous Oxide-conscious sedation.

We are always looking for new and improved products for our patients.  We work individually with each patient to develop a personalized dental hygiene plan.  We welcome you to visit us or email either Ann Crain, Hygienist or Lori Wham, Hygienist with any questions.
