Welcome!
Here at Center for Advanced Dentistry, we love meeting new patients. Part of easing your concerns is explaining what you can expect from our practice.

Once you have been with us for a while, you can continue to expect the highest level of service. We focus on providing quality dental care, excellent customer service, and a relaxing environment to maintain a lasting patient relationship. We consider your first visit the start of a long-term relationship with you. During your initial appointment, we will perform various tests to assess the condition of your oral health and to create a dental plan based on your unique, individual needs. We look forward to meeting you!
Our Approach
Minimally-invasive techniques
Teeth may require restoration more than once over their lives. Unfortunately, too often the enamel and inner structure of a tooth (dentin) are over-drilled and over-prepared, leaving a small amount of tooth structure to hold a filling, crown, or bridge. At our office, we reduce tooth structure as little as possible when we prepare teeth for any type of restoration. We strive to keep all the tooth structure that we can; respecting the teeth in whatever procedure we are doing. Future re-treatment of teeth is aided by preserving tooth structure in the beginning.
Safe mercury removal
Over your lifetime, mercury leaks from your amalgam fillings each time you eat and chew, traveling via the bloodstream throughout your body and finally accumulating in major organs. While this toxic, heavy metal travels to every organ of your body, it especially favors the brain. We provide safe (SMART certified), amalgam removal after which you will pursue a safe detox protocol to release and remove whatever metals have stored themselves in your system. We of course offer mercury-free fillings and crowns for when they are needed!
Fluoride-free hygiene
Our office does not use fluoride as a part of our holistic hygiene treatment. You and your family can relax knowing that no toxic products are utilized by any care provider here. Your hygienist is experienced in the traditional scaling & polishing of your teeth, as well as in deep scaling and oral ozone therapies. Your gums receive a full-mouth periodontal exam to establish your personal periodontal base-line, which is used to compare your periodontal health during subsequent visits. Additionally, each hygiene visit includes a thorough examination of your head and neck as well as an intraoral exam using a specialized laser to detect any evidence of oral cancer or any other pathology.
Ceramic implants
Dental implants are the best way to replace missing teeth as they provide natural function and feel. We offer, and encourage in most cases, the option of ceramic implants over titanium metal implants. While both sides of the implant world feel that their type integrates better with the bone, there may be some situations where titanium implants are the only type a patient is able to use. If you are in need of a dental implant, we will discuss these options during your consultation.
Ozone therapies
In dentistry, ozone has changed the game since it kills every microbe-bacteria, virus, fungus, parasite, etc. on contact. Ozone has changed how we practice dentistry, as well as the lives of our patients, and we consider it a very important tool in our practice. Some of the benefits include: reversing tooth decay, sterilizing prior to fillings or cementing crowns, reducing TMJ pain, promoting bone regrowth around the teeth, aiding in deep healing for periodontal disease situations, and much more!
Airway focused dentistry
We believe in the importance of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy by a trained professional to help restore your face and mouth to its proper function. This therapy allows you to be able to properly speak, breathe, and eat. When it comes to Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy, it’s important to work with your dentist, orthodontist, and other specialists to correct any issues at play.
