Dental Health Instruction
What sets us apart is our commitment to dental health supported by diet and whole-body health.

Night Guards
Occlusal protection from clenching and grinding at night. Protects crowns, veneers, and natural teeth. Many adults do grind their teeth at night, and most of them are totally unaware of this behavior.
Nutritional Counseling
A key aspect of teeth, jaw, and gum health is diet. We recommend eating healthy foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, including those that contain Vitamin C. Limit sugar intake as much as possible, such as soda, juice, candy, and processed foods. Limit white flour (cereal, bread, pasta) because they quickly break down into sugars and adversely affect insulin. Drink plenty of water. We offer in-house nutritional coaching and can refer patients to local professionals when appropriate.
Diagnodent
A low-power laser designed to assist in detecting decay.
