Doctor Abbey Ambroson on general dentistry

We always try to have patients come in for a new patient exam and to set them up so that they can succeed down the road. So when they come in, we tell them what they need kind of, and what their expectations are too, what they want. That’s just as important as what we see.

And so working together, we can come up with a plan for a patient and just set them up for success so we can do our part, but they need to maintain their part too by having good oral care and coming in for their routine visits so that we don’t get behind on the care.

I had a patient tell me once that they did not want to get a procedure done until they read an interview with a man who was well into his 100s and he said the number one thing for longevity is keep your teeth as long as possible. It’s so important systemically. A lot of people don’t put the connection between oral care and their systemic care together. So it’s our job to kind of eliminate things that we see that can potentially cause problems down the road, whether it be systemic, or problems with function, or even aesthetics. That can really affect somebody too.

See How Routine Dentistry Protects Your Long-Term Oral Health

Regular dental care catches problems early, protects your enamel, and addresses concerns like gum disease and dry mouth before they become bigger issues. Our team tailors each visit to your specific needs so you leave with a healthier, more beautiful smile every time.

Dental Cleanings & Exams 

Our ultrasonic cleaner removes plaque and tartar more comfortably than traditional methods. A thorough exam checks for cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. 

Gum Disease Treatment 

A deep cleaning procedure eliminates infection and restores gum health, followed by antibacterial treatment and more frequent checkups to prevent recurring infections.

Bad Breath & Dry Mouth Treatment 

Chronic bad breath and dry mouth often signal an underlying issue. Our team identifies the root cause and recommends products and treatments to relieve symptoms.

Preventive Solutions 

Fluoride varnish strengthens enamel against harmful bacteria, while dental sealants protect chewing surfaces from cavities. Both options work well for children and adults alike.

Discover How We Make Every Dental Visit Worth Your Time

Staying consistent with dental visits is one of the simplest things you can do for your long-term oral health. Most patients should come in for a checkup every six months. This helps our team stay ahead of potential problems like gum disease and gives you the opportunity to discuss any concerns along the way.


Your first visit starts with a conversation. Our team takes time to learn about your oral health history, listen to any issues you've noticed, and answer your questions before anything else. From there, digital X-rays give us a clear, detailed picture of your mouth with minimal radiation exposure.

Our practice invests in modern technology to improve your experience at every visit:

  • Laser treatments offer a less invasive, more comfortable alternative for many common dental procedures.
  • Our CEREC system creates custom dental crowns right here in the office, so you leave with your final restoration in just one visit.
  • 3-D technology captures precise impressions of your teeth without the uncomfortable trays used in traditional methods.

Paying for dental care shouldn't be a barrier to keeping your smile healthy. Our membership plan is a great option if you don't have dental insurance, offering savings on cleanings, exams, and other treatments. Third-party financing is also available to help spread out the cost of more involved care.
