Our team collaborates seamlessly to provide optimal dental care. Dental hygienists and residents, guided by attending dentists and community specialists, deliver your dental care. Dental assistants and supporting staff play vital roles in assisting throughout the process.

We recommend scheduling dental exams and prophylaxis appointments twice a year, although your dentist may advise more frequent visits if necessary. Routine visits include X-rays, a gum condition screening, and an overall oral health evaluation, encompassing a head and neck examination. Additional treatment, if needed, will be scheduled accordingly.

In cases requiring treatment elsewhere, we will refer you to a dentist capable of providing the necessary care.
