Service With a Smile!
we offer the following dental services
Teeth Whitening
Also referred to as dental bleaching, tooth whitening restores the natural brightness to your smile. We offer a variety of methods to whiten teeth including in-office whitening and take home whitening kits.
Invisalign
A clear alternative to traditional braces, Invisalign moves teeth through a series of clear aligners that are worn by the patient 22 hours per day. Invisalign aligners can be removed by the patient for hygiene and are changed out every 2 weeks. Invisalign can be used to treat a variety of issues including spacing, crowding and orthodontic relapse, with treatment time based on the movement required.
Tooth Colored Fillings
Tooth colored fillings are completed using a resin or porcelain material that is bonded to the remaining tooth structure. White fillings allow us to be more conservative in tooth preparation and are bonded to the healthy remaining tooth structure.
Crowns & Bridges
Crowns are dental restorations that cover the entire tooth structure, to protect the longterm health of a tooth. Crowns are required after Root Canal treatments, or when a cavity compromises more than 50% of the tooth. Bridges are permanent restorations used to replace a missing tooth, bonding an artificial tooth (the pontic) with crowns placed on the adjacent teeth(abutments). Bridges can also be placed on implants to restore areas missing multiple teeth.
Oral Hygiene and Preventative Care
The American Dental Association recommends individuals with healthy teeth and gums have their teeth cleaned twice a year. Some individuals with Periodontical Disease require more frequent cleanings. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends children have their first dental visit 6 months after the eruption of their first tooth or approximately 1 year of age.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of teeth. They are an option for correcting stained, chipped, decayed or crooked teeth

I’m the BIGGEST wimp when it comes to dental work (traumatic past) but Katie is amazing! I had two fillings replaced today and no pain! Love her and her staff! Thank you!
Kim ChallenderDr. Hicks and her entire staff are lovely! From the appointment making process, to the dental hygenist to Dr. Hicks herself, every experience is positive. This a quality and caring office.
Quindaro FriederDr. Hicks and staff did a great job fixing a chipped tooth for me!! Can’t even tell it was damaged before. She told me that we were going to have fun before the procedure and I would have to say the experience here was better than any other dentist I have been to before and as close to “fun” as you can have at a dentist. The super friendly staff made me feel like I was in an episode of Cheers. I have already referred her new business and yesterday was my first visit with her. Thank you!
