Dental Veneers

'Smile Makeovers' in as Little as Two Visits!

If you have crooked or misshapen teeth, spaces, or deep discoloration, our porcelain veneers may be the remedy. Veneers are thin porcelain coverings that slip over and are connected to your teeth. They appear natural, being created from the most innovative dental ceramic available. We also feature Lumineers™. These are contact-lens thin and tremendously translucent. Since Lumineers are so finely made, little to no tooth reduction is necessary. Frequently, you won’t even require a shot!

Having a plaque attack?

Plaque is that soft, sticky stuff that builds up on your teeth over time. It contains legions of bacteria. Left untreated it will eventually lead to gum disease, bad breath and tooth loss.

Frequent brushing and flossing are required to keep plaque at bay. But it's virtually impossible to remove all plaque without the skills of your professional dental hygienist. In other words, you're going to need some help.

Call our office today to schedule your next routine teeth cleaning to receive help with your plaque removal!

Dental Digital X-rays

75% Reduction in Radiation

Dr. Rykard employs the next step in X-ray technology – digital X-rays. An image is taken of your mouth using a sensor and downloaded straight into our computer. He can immediately begin assessing the level of your dental health. Our panoramic dental X-ray unit can capture your entire jaw and mouth structure in one image. The original data can be readily stored and later overlaid with more recent information to highlight treatment progress and overall changes to your dental health. Not only does this technique permit us more options than conventional X-rays, but it does it all while subjecting you to 75% less radiation than traditional captures.

Sedation Dentistry

Dental Care in a Relaxing Environment

Even though Dr. Rykard takes great satisfaction in his ability to dispense painless injections, some people are inherently stressed at even the idea of a needle. If you or a loved one breaks into a cold sweat at the mere thought of seeing the dentist, we have a simple solution.

One hour prior to your visit, you take a pill that we provide to you. You will achieve a point of sedation that permits you to reply to questions but mostly sleep through your entire visit. This is perfect for fearful people or those who have a hectic schedule and want to receive all their treatment in a single visit.

Your Dental Hygienist!

Normally we think of a teeth cleaning as just that. Our tongues love the smooth and clean feeling we get after visiting our dental hygienist.

But there's another huge benefit to regular teeth cleaning. Hygienists spend time in your mouth. That give them the opportunity to spot suspicious tissue or other possible signs of oral cancer.

Oral cancer has a fantastically high cure rate - but only if it's detected early.

Another reason to love your dental hygienist!

Smile Makeovers

Maybe you remember that TV show, Extreme Makeovers?

They took people who were unhappy with their appearance and let surgeons and dentists perform cosmetic miracles on their bodies and teeth.

Well, a complete smile makeover like that can be done by many dentists, And often it only takes two visits!
