General Dentistry

Smile Maker Dentistry has extensive experience working with both adults & children. We understand that these two groups have different needs & we address them all, providing only the highest quality regular dental hygiene visits, sealants, mouthguards, & patient/parent education.

We place a high emphasis on sealants, which at less than half the cost of conventional fillings are effective in preventing tooth decay on the biting surfaces of chewing teeth. Without anesthetics or drilling, sealants are one of the most simple & important preventive services we have. Let us discuss your treatment options. Request an appointment today and one of our staff members will give you a call within 24 hours to confirm your appointment.

Low-Radiation Digital X-Rays
We offer in-office digital x-rays for your convenience. Digital x-rays are computer-generated images. These images require up to 90% less radiation than with conventional film-type x-rays. Instead of using the traditional silver-oxide x-ray film that must be developed & then fixed in caustic & environmentally damaging solutions, the new system takes pictures via a small electronic sensor & instantaneously transmits a picture of the tooth onto the video monitor in the treatment room. Therefore, we can see your teeth & surrounding structures immediately. Feel free to contact us for more details or to make an appointment!

Sedation Dentistry
Wake up to a more healthy & beautiful smile with amazingly comfortable sedation dentistry. We care for patients who have these concerns:

  • I’m afraid of needles & shots.
  • I’ve had bad experiences before.
  • I have not been to the dentist in a long time.
  • I always gag when having dental work done.
  • I just can’t seem to get numb.
  • All my teeth are too far gone.


Mouthguards
Have you ever wondered how athletes gain a competitive edge? Of course they train hard, eat right & devote themselves to their sport day & night. But what if we told you that one of their secrets is as simple as a mouth guard? It’s true. Mouth guards improve flexibility, increase balance & help athletes avoid trauma to their teeth in a way never before possible. Call today for your consultation!

Sealants & Fluoride Treatments
Tooth decay, otherwise known as cavities, can be a significant problem for children as well as adults. There are numerous factors that lead to tooth decay & there are ways to prevent it. With the use of sealants, we can cover the deep grooves in your back teeth & extend their life while helping to prevent cavities.
