Types of General Dentistry
Our team of experienced and compassionate dental professionals understands the significance of oral health in enhancing both physical and emotional wellness. We are committed to delivering the highest standard of care in a warm and welcoming environment, ensuring that every patient feels comfortable and supported throughout their dental journey.
Orthodontics
Braces have helped millions of patients achieve straight teeth and proper alignment. A balanced bite can not only improve the aesthetics of your smile but also make it easier to maintain good oral health. When diagnosed early, misalignment can often be addressed with less aggressive techniques.

Sleep Apnea Treatment
We believe preventive care is a cornerstone of oral health. Routine examinations and cleanings enable us to diagnose and treat oral health issues before they develop into serious concerns.

Preventive Dentistry
We recommend good home care to prevent many possible dental issues. This includes brushing twice a day, flossing or Waterpiking, and staying up to date with your regular oral health appointments. For more advanced concerns we may offer a medicated toothpaste, rinse, or home care kit.

Oral Cancer Screening
We perform oral cancer screenings as a part of routine exams. We will look for early symptoms, including lesions, inflammation, and white or red patches. Although many potential concerns are often harmless, we can order a biopsy to provide patients with a professional diagnosis.

Are you ready to smile with confidence again?
All the dental treatments you need are now together in one place.
Extractions
In cases of severe dental infection or damage, tooth extraction may be the best way to preserve your oral health. We will work slowly and carefully during the procedure in order to minimize bone loss and ensure your comfort. We can then restore your smile with a custom crown, bridge, or denture.

Sedation Dentistry
We do not want dental anxiety to prevent patients from receiving the care they deserve, which is why we offer sedation dentistry. Oral-conscious sedation can help you feel deeply relaxed, while ensuring you can still respond to questions or commands.

Root Canal Therapy
When an infection is left untreated, bacteria can reach the inner portion of a tooth and lead to a range of oral health concerns. Root canal therapy is performed to halt a tooth infection, improve oral health, and prevent the need for extraction. We can then restore the tooth with a custom crown.

Periodontal Care
Periodontal (gum) disease is a serious concern because it can eventually lead to gum recession and tooth loss. We can often treat mild cases of gum disease with scaling and root planing.

TMJ Disorder Treatment
Temporomandibular joints (TMJs) connect the lower jaw to the skull. When these joints become inflamed, you can experience a range of uncomfortable symptoms, including headaches, difficulty chewing, and severe jaw pain. We can often effectively treat TMJ disorder with a custom-made mouth guard.
Custom Mouth Guards
We can provide custom mouth guards for TMJ disorder, sleep apnea, bruxism, and athletics. These mouth guards are much more durable and comfortable compared to store-bought mouth guards.

Cathy is always amazing. She remembers personal care details about my visit each time which shows me that she is a great listener, she has heard me and follows through with such care.
Cathy Ryan
I had Dr. Whiting for the first time and the practice will be in excellent hands when Dr. McIntire retires in Sept. He was profesional yet had an engaging demeanor when interacting with me. What makes this practice exceptional is the support staff- the welcoming friendliness of the front desk and the business office personnel. In particular, I would like to give high praises to the dental technician, Faith. She is warm, engaging and puts you at ease. She educates you during the whole process and is extremely knowledgeable about the procedures. Without a doubt, this is the best dental practice in the Valley.
Howard Dean
Dr. Whiting and staff did an excellent job. They were respectful, professional, and very helpful during the process of getting some dental implants. They expedited my appointments to get my new teeth before Father’s Day. Very happy with the results!

Dr. Mac performed a small miracle for me yesterday during my appointment. I was having an issue with my temporary bridge and he squeezed me in with his other patients to fix it. He went to great lengths to help me and I am very grateful. Thank you SFL!!
Dottie Westhafer
I had every intention of shopping around before committing to the extensive dental work I needed. However, after visiting the practice and seeing how dedicated they were to making life changing improvement for their patients, I looked no further. It is a process, starting with evaluations, recommendations, x-rays and scheduling. Beginning with my first appointment I marveled at the kindness, care and professionalism I received. I was taken care of skillfully and gently as we began my transformation. Today, June 6, 2024, I left their office with a beautiful smile without discoloration, wear, and misaligned teeth, and I now have a corrected bite and completely restored teeth that I am proud to show. Dr. Geo is very caring and meticulous, striving to complete his work with skill and perfection. I’m so glad that I came to Smiles For Life.

Smiles for Life has taken care of my dentistry needs for the last 6 years or so. Other offices in the past have had difficult times fitting me in when I needed an appointment. That hasn’t been the case here. Today, I needed to reschedule my appointment for next Monday, and they had an opening today with Cathy Batton instead of my regular hygienist. Cathy does a great job with years of experience and has a way about her to make you feel comfortable.

Alex, . Morgan, and Dr Geo are very personable and professional. I felt very relaxed the entire visit.I especially appreciated Dr. Geo's careful mouth and teeth exam. They explained everything step by step and allowed time for questions.
Mclatt
On my first visit I meet Becky, we sat down and talked about everything they do there and she allowed me to tell her about my issues with my teeth and she felt that they could help me with my problem. This is the first time I have ever been able to explain, in detail, about my past and present experiences with my dental problems. She made me feel very comfortable in taking about my care and what I would like to have done with my denture issue's. I have set up my next appointment to have x-rays done and feel very good about that! I'm looking forward to my visit and what they have to say about fixing my problem .
