Preventative
Preventative dentistry is the modern way of reducing the amount of dental treatment necessary to maintain a healthy mouth. The two major causes of tooth loss are decay and gum disease. The better we prevent or deal with these two problems, the more chance people have of keeping their teeth for life. Joint efforts of the dentist, the hygienist and the patient, can help to prevent the need for treatment, and so avoid the traditional pattern of fillings and extractions.

Restorative
When an accident or medical condition affects the appearance of your teeth, restorative procedures are often the only way to bring back a beautiful smile. Restorative Dentistry refers to the restoration of natural teeth that have been damaged, decayed or lost. Once your dentist has examined your teeth and has evaluated your dental and medical history, they will be ready to provide a diagnosis and treatment options.

Cosmetic
Cosmetic Dentistry can be any type of dental procedure which enhances the patient's teeth and their smile – thus improving a person's overall appearance and self-confidence.

Orthodontics
Orthodontics is the moving of teeth to a better aesthetic and functional location. Orthodontists diagnose, prevent and treat dental and facial irregularities. Orthodontists treat a wide variety of malocclusion's (misaligned teeth and/or jaws). We treat young children, teens and adults.
