Do you offer Invisalign?

Yes. Invisalign uses a series of custom, clear plastic aligners to gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires.

What can be done about a missing tooth?

Dr. Curtis offers dental implant restoration to replace missing teeth with natural-looking, durable restorations, as well as ongoing monitoring to keep implants healthy.

How do I know if I need a crown?

A dental crown may be recommended for a tooth that is cracked, severely decayed, worn down, or has had a root canal. A crown protects the tooth and restores its shape and strength.

Are root canals painful?

Modern root canal treatment is performed with local anesthetic and typically feels similar to getting a filling. Most patients experience significant relief from the pain caused by the infection.

What are the signs of gum disease?

Common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. Our periodontal services, including scaling and root planing, can help treat gum disease.

What dental technology do you use?

We use digital X-rays, an intraoral camera, and the Sirona digital scanner for more accurate diagnoses and comfortable, mess-free impressions.

Do you make custom night guards?

Yes. Custom-fitted night guards protect your teeth from grinding and clenching while you sleep and can help reduce jaw soreness and headaches.

Can I pay my bill online?

Yes. You can make a secure online payment through the Pay Online button on our Financial Information page.
