At Smiles for Life, we offer a wide range of dental care services to address all aspects of your oral health.
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.

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.
