The Foundation of a Healthy Smile
At Smiles For Life Dental Care, we believe that a healthy smile is the cornerstone of overall well-being. Our clinic is dedicated to providing exceptional dental care services and empowering our patients to achieve and maintain optimal oral health.
With our comprehensive range of treatments and personalized approach, we strive to establish the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
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.

Family Dentistry
Establishing a good oral care routine at a young age can help your child maintain a healthy smile into adulthood. We offer comprehensive services for children, including sealants and fluoride treatments. Children who maintain good oral health join the “Cavity Free Club” and are awarded prizes.

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.

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.

When I embarked on my journey to find the right dental implant service, I initially gravitated towards the two prominent national brands in the field. However, my search took an unexpected and incredibly satisfying turn when I decided to explore the offerings of a local implant provider. Little did I know that this local gem would redefine my expectations of what a top-notch implant service should be like. Here's why my experience with them was nothing short of extraordinary: Meticulous Charting of Teeth and Gums: ★★★★★ One of the first things that set this local provider apart from the national giants was their unwavering commitment to precision and detail. While the big names seemed more focused on the implant procedure itself, this local gem took the time to meticulously chart the condition of my teeth and gums. This attention to detail ensured that my implant procedure was tailored to my specific needs and challenges. It was clear that they understood the importance of a solid foundation for the success of the implants. Infection Prevention Education: ★★★★★ Implant surgery is not without its risks, and one of the key concerns is the possibility of infection. What truly impressed me was the depth of information and guidance this local provider offered regarding infection prevention. They didn't just gloss over this critical aspect; they took the time to discuss the infection possibilities associated with dental implants and, more importantly, outlined a comprehensive plan to combat and mitigate such conditions. Their proactive approach to ensuring patient safety was truly reassuring. First-Year Implant Supervision: ★★★★★ Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of my experience with this local implant provider was their commitment to the long-term success of my dental implants. While the national brands seemed content with the implant procedure itself, this local provider went above and beyond by offering required supervision for the first year following the implant surgery. This level of aftercare and ongoing support was simply unparalleled and gave me peace of mind knowing that my oral health was in capable hands. In conclusion, my exploration journey for dental implants took an unexpected turn when I discovered this exceptional local implant provider. Their dedication to detail, infection prevention, and post-surgery care were nothing short of outstanding. They not only surpassed the standards set by the national brands but also redefined my expectations of what a truly exceptional implant service should encompass. If you're in search of dental implants and want an experience that goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend giving this local gem a visit. They've certainly earned my trust and gratitude.

Nicole Gray
Morgan is the best! I hadn’t been to the dentist in 10+ years and was nervous even though I’d always been a fan of the dentist (weird I know). Morgan explained her recommendations, how the plan would work and set me up with my various appointment needs. She always remembers details of my life and asks about specific things mentioned previously. She’s wonderful and a great asset to Smiles for Life!
