Accelerated Orthodontics—Straight Teeth in as Little as 3-6 Months
You no longer need to shy away from having the smile of your dreams. Many adults have wanted to have their smile corrected, but do not want to commit to years of treatment. They would feel awkward with braces on their teeth in their personal and professional lives.
Your dream can come true without a long-term commitment. With Six Month Smiles™ and Powerprox Six Month Braces™, you can change your smile and eliminate gaps, overlapping, and crowding in only six months and sometimes even less! This revolutionary method moves only the teeth that are visible when you smile.
Even more impressive is how discreet they are. The brackets are clear or white and hardly noticeable. The process is fast and uses a low-force method that maintains comfort while you wear them. The short time in treatment means you will have better hygiene for a clean look after they are removed.
Another great benefit is how affordable they are – less expensive than aligners, veneers, or traditional braces. So why wait any longer? Give us a call today to get you started toward the smile you have always wanted!

Sedation Dentistry Makes Treatment Easy and Comfortable
We understand how apprehensive some patients are about dental work. With sedation dentistry, all treatments become easy. You retain a level of consciousness but no memory of the work being performed.
By simply taking one pill one hour before your appointment, you start to feel relaxed. You gradually reach a deeper level of sedation before any work begins. Your vital signs are monitored throughout treatment. You will be unaware of the dentist's work, but still be able to answer any questions she asks. Within an hour after treatment, you will be back to normal.
Some people fear being "knocked out," as during surgery. Their fear centers on losing 
control of perception. But it is important to know you remain aware of your environment, but not of the procedure being performed. Conscious sedation provides a happy medium of losing your anxiety but not your awareness.
This type of sedation is also a good option for those who are highly resistant to anesthesia. They require an alternative to have their work performed. Also, when patients can't spare the time for multiple visits, sedation dentistry is the option that allows more or even all work to be accomplished in just one visit.
