Comprehensive care you’ll love
We are pleased to welcome new patients through our doors. We offer comprehensive services to ensure you and your loved ones enjoy dental care in one convenient location.
Our services include:
- General and family dentistry: The best way to treat a problem is by preventing it. We offer regular exams, cleanings, and other preventive services to protect your smile from tooth decay, gum disease, and other issues. Our dental care services are designed to cater to patients of all ages, from toddlers to seniors. Our team offers tooth fillings, root canals, periodontal therapy, and other services to maintain healthy, confident smiles at every stage of life.Â
- Cosmetic dentistry: All too often, your healthy smile may be plagued with unsightly dental imperfections. Perhaps you don’t like the chips, cracks, or stains in your teeth. Sometimes, you are insecure with your oddly shaped or undersized teeth. Whatever the cosmetic imperfection, Drs. James Kreuz, Gregory Duffner, and Alexander J. Dolinar can help you achieve a beautiful, confident-boosting smile.Â
- Restorative dentistry: Do you have missing, decayed, or damaged teeth? We can restore your smile’s functionality and aesthetics with tooth fillings, dental bridges, implants, and crowns. Our restorations are created with premium materials and hands-on expertise to achieve outcomes that look and feel natural. Whether accident or decay has compromised your smile, you can eat, talk, and smile again confidently with our high-quality restorations.
- Sleep apnea and TMJ pain solutions: TMJ pain and sleep apnea can affect your quality of life. TMJ pain causes constant headaches, jaw pain, and locked jaws. Sleep apnea disrupts your sleep and puts you at risk of heart problems, diabetes, hypertension, and other systemic illnesses. Our dental team offers TMJ pain and sleep apnea relief with a customized oral appliance. For TMJ, this retainer-like device prevents upper and lower teeth from meeting, allowing the jaw joints and muscles to relax. Sleep apnea mouthguards reposition the lower jaw and suppress the tongue to keep your airway open to help you enjoy optimal sleep and rest.Â
- Laser dentistry: Dental technology is never at a standstill. Our office is always at the forefront of the latest technologies to provide fast, precise, and comfortable dental care. Among our technologies, laser dentistry remains central to our dental services. This innovative technology allows us to treat cold sores, tongue-ties, gummy smiles, and oral hemangiomas without invasive scalpels and sutures.Â
