And don’t forget, as science continues to prove, the crucial role proper dental care plays in your overall health and appearance. So exercise, eat right, enjoy yourself along the way, and flash that gorgeous smile more often!

Must do’s.

·         It’s estimated that up to 3/4 of adults over age 35 have some degree of gum disease.  Work with us to be sure you don’t.

·         63% of “boomers” with an oral health problem considered to be an indication of a more serious problem, are unaware of the connection. Don’t skip regular check-ups!

Should do’s.

·         You probably still have silver mercury amalgam fillings, placed when you were a teen. Not only are they unsightly and can damage tooth structure, but some believe they may present other disadvantages. Work with us to systematically replace them with greatly-improved, durable white composite fillings.

·         Half your life lies ahead. You remodeled your bathroom after a few decades—it’s time to remodel your smile! We provide “upgrades” that will allow you to keep your teeth for rest of your life.

Could do’s.

·         Well beyond botox, breast implants, and viagra… Nothing makes you look AND feel younger than a beautiful smile.  It’s true. Today’s whitening treatments—often combined with one of many porcelain veneer options—can create a personal smile makeover that is truly your “fountain of youth.”
