Cleanings & checkups

The maintenance visit. Twice a year keeps everything else on this page rare.

  • Time: 45 to 60 minutes
  • Visits: 1
  • Fee: [set your checkup fee]

What happens

Photos and X-rays when they're due, a gum health check, a full cleaning with polish, and a look at every tooth. Then the honest part: we show you the pictures and say what we see, including "nothing, see you in six months."

Good to know

  • Most insurance covers two cleanings a year in full; we confirm yours before you sit down.
  • Sensitive teeth? Say so. We numb gums for deep cleanings and go slower where it matters.

Fillings & crowns

Repairs that disappear into your smile. Tooth-colored, bite-checked, photographed before and after.

  • Time: 60 to 90 minutes
  • Visits: 1 to 2
  • Fee: [set your fee range]

What happens

We numb thoroughly (including numbing gel before the injection), remove the damaged part, and rebuild the tooth with composite or a crown. You approve the written estimate before we ever schedule the work.

Good to know

  • Small cavities are cheap and quick; the expensive version is the one that waited two years. Earlier is always cheaper.
  • Crowns usually take two visits; you wear a solid temporary in between.

Kids' dentistry

Short, playful visits that build trust before they build anything else.

  • Time: 30 to 45 minutes
  • First visit: by age 1, or first tooth
  • Fee: [set your kids' visit fee]

What happens

The first visit might just be a chair ride and counting teeth, and that's a win. We build up to cleanings and sealants at your child's pace. Parents stay in the room, always.

Good to know

  • Sealants on new molars are the best value in dentistry: minutes of work, years of protection.
  • Nervous kid? Book the quiet morning slots and tell us; we'll plan the visit around it.

Anxiety-friendly care

Not a service so much as a promise that applies to every service on this page.

  • Extra cost: none
  • Works with: every treatment

What happens

Tell us you're nervous when you book (there's a phone call before every first visit, mention it there). You get a hand signal that pauses everything instantly, headphones if you want them, and a longer appointment slot so nothing is rushed. We explain each step before it happens, or stay quiet if you'd rather not know: your call.

Good to know

  • Years away from the dentist is normal here. No lectures, ever; just a plan and a first easy visit.
  • Ask about calming options for bigger procedures. [Set your sedation offering]

Implants & bridges

Replacing a missing tooth, mapped out as a full timeline with a total cost before you commit.

  • Time: 3 to 6 months, start to finish
  • Visits: 3 to 5
  • Fee: [set your implant fee]

What happens

A scan and a planning visit first: you leave with a drawn timeline, every visit listed, and one total price. The implant goes in, heals for a few months under a temporary, then gets its permanent crown. Bridges are the faster, surgery-free alternative; we'll show you both options side by side.

Good to know

  • Payment spreads across the visits, not all up front. [Set your payment plan terms]
  • A well-kept implant is a decades-long fix, which is why we're picky about doing it right.

Whitening & smile tune-ups

Brighter without the burn. Professional whitening calibrated for sensitive teeth.

  • Time: 60 to 90 minutes in-chair
  • Visits: 1, or take-home trays
  • Fee: [set your whitening fee]

What happens

A quick check first, because whitening healthy teeth is the whole trick. Then either an in-chair session or custom take-home trays that work over two weeks. Small shape-and-polish fixes (a chipped corner, an uneven edge) often take one visit and change more than you'd expect.

Good to know

  • Drugstore strips work; they're just slower and harder on sensitive teeth. We'll tell you honestly if they're enough for your goal.
  • Whitening happens before any new crowns or fillings, so everything matches.

Illustration only. Real whitening results vary with enamel, habits, and starting shade; we show you a realistic target at the check first.

Not sure which one you need?

Book a checkup. It answers the question, and it's the cheapest visit on the list.
