CreatingYour Dream

As time goes on, your teeth may grow weaker and lose their luster. If you want to keep your smile beautiful and strong, you’ll need a dentist who can address all kinds of complex dental situations, including those where you have lost a significant amount of natural dental structure. Do you need dental implants to replace missing teeth, or are you simply looking to enhance the teeth you still have? Dr. Howard and the rest of our dental team in your area are here to take care of all of your needs.

Sedation Dentistry
Overcoming YourDental Fear
Over three-quarters of Americans are afraid of the dentist to some degree. Some only feel a little anxiety while others suffer from serious phobias that could discourage them from making much-needed appointments. We can use sedation dentistry to help you stay calm and relaxed during any kind of procedure, so you can put your worries behind you while we take care of your dental concerns and fears.
