Healthy mouth, healthy you

The mouth is the gateway to the rest of the body, and research has shown there is a the critical link between oral health and systemic conditions. Preventive dentistry is your first line of defense to prevent common problems from developing into more serious concerns. We would love to help you achieve optimal oral health that, in turn, achieves total wellness.

Cleaning & Hygiene

We dive deep to meticulously remove plaque, tartar, and stains, rejuvenating your teeth and safeguarding your gums. Dr. Kris Alpers and our team go the extra mile to spot and address potential issues early, ensuring your smile isn't just beautiful but also truly healthy.

Digital X-Rays

Our advanced digital X-ray technology allows us to get a clear picture of your oral health with minimal radiation exposure. This aids us in identifying potential issues and designing personalized treatment plans tailored to your needs.

Saliva Testing

A simple, non-invasive saliva test allows us to identify and measure bacteria in your mouth. Through this test, harmful bacteria — that could otherwise lead to systemic inflammation, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s and more — are flagged and treated to help maintain your overall health and wellness.

Periodontal Care

Our periodontal care services, including gingivectomies, gum recontouring, and scaling and root planing, are designed to treat and prevent gum disease, ensuring your smile stays vibrant. We also offer Perio Protect, a non-invasive, highly effective method proven to deliver medication deep into periodontal pockets, where toothbrushes, rinse and floss fail to reach.

Advanced Dental Laser Treatment

We provide comfortable, effective laser treatment that is minimally invasive and aids in bone and tissue healing. Using the laser treats a range of conditions, including gum disease, tooth decay, and oral cancer, and it is a less invasive alternative to periodontal surgery.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Prioritizing your well-being is at the heart of our practice. We employ VELscope for Oral Cancer Screening, an advanced tool specifically designed to detect early signs of oral cancer. By catching potential issues in their early stages, we aim to significantly improve the prognosis of following treatments.
