    We recommend scheduling your child's first dental visit no earlier than two and a half years of age.

  • What is the procedure for getting a dental implant?

    The dental implant process begins with a consultation appointment. We will then perform a CT scan to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.

  • How do you handle anxious or fearful patients?

    For patients experiencing anxiety, we offer nitrous oxide sedation. Alternatively, we can provide a prescription medication to be taken before the appointment, which would require the patient to have a designated driver.
