Welcome to Nelson Y. Howard, D.D.S.
On behalf of my team of highly trained professionals, I would like to personally welcome you to our website and dental office. We invite you to experience a new kind of dentistry where total quality care is provided with exceptional customer service, caring team members whose goal is your absolute well-being, state-of-the-art techniques designed for your comfort, and in a fun and relaxing environment. We know that your visit with us will be the most rewarding of any dental experience you have ever had. My team and I believe that people should keep their teeth for a lifetime; with a common effort between us, that goal can be achieved.
Please be aware that our ultimate success depends on your commitment to your overall health, both dental and physical. We thank you for the confidence you have placed in us and appreciate the opportunity to assist you in attaining these two important goals.
We believe every patient who comes to our dental office will leave feeling better about himself or herself as a person than when they first came in.
I have always felt that a person's smile is their "Window to the World." It is my personal goal to make the world of each person that enters my dental office a brighter place to be!
Nelson Y. Howard, D.D.S., A.A.A.C.D.

CreatingYour Dream
Smile
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 team 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.
