Services We Provide
We offer comprehensive family care based upon modern technology, and always adhere to strict quality standards. Our lifetime guarantee on all restorative work is truly unprecedented. Dr. Hawkins places strong emphasis on furthering his education, having been certified in Invisalign and completing coursework at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies. His expertise extends to the following areas:
Whitening
We offer deep bleaching, which is a newer and substantially more effective method of whitening your teeth. We also provide traditional custom-made trays and bleaching gel to brighten your smile.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Due to the rising concerns with older amalgam fillings (expansion and high mercury content), we exclusively use composite resin to restore your teeth. We expertly match and bond this material to your individual tooth color and shape.
Veneers
Veneers are a wonderful option for people who want to transform their smile. They are able to quickly correct mild crowding, close gaps, and reshape teeth, as well as whiten discolored teeth to any desired level.
Invisalign Clear Braces
Invisalign is a modern way to straighten teeth, in a much more cosmetic and hygienic manner than traditional wire braces. We give free Invisalign consultations at anytime; call to schedule your appointment today!
Porcelain Crowns/Bridges
Crowns are permanently cemented restorations that look and function like healthy teeth. We recommend placing crowns on more severely cracked or decayed teeth to provide greater protection against further damage. Bridges are permanently cemented, like crowns, and can be used to replace one or more missing teeth.
Implants/Implant Restoration
We work with a select group of specialists who place implants, the gold standard for tooth replacement. Following complete healing from placement, we will restore the implant to a fully functional state by fabricating a custom crown.
Root Canal Therapy
Occasionally, due to trauma or deep decay, a tooth can become infected with bacteria. We can restore such a tooth by cleaning the canals and sealing them to eliminate any future infection. This is usually accomplished in a single visit with little or no discomfort.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
If you are missing several teeth, have a severely worn bite due to grinding, or just want to completely recreate a smile that suits you, we can easily accommodate your needs and desires.
Extractions
Although our goal is helping you maintain your natural teeth as long as possible, sometimes extraction is the best option. Most teeth can be quickly removed in our office with little or no discomfort.
Nitrous Oxide
We offer this as an adjunctive anesthesia and method of relaxation for apprehensive patients. While you will still be awake, your nerves will be calmed and your experience will be pleasant. This can be used for any routine procedure, if desired.
Periodontal Therapy
For patients with the presence of gum disease, we recommend a deeper cleaning procedure called scaling and root planing, in which bacteria and toxins below the gum line are removed. We can also accommodate more frequent recall visits if needed to maintain optimum periodontal health.
Partials/Dentures
The most affordable option for multiple tooth replacement, our dentures and partials are made by an outstanding local lab, which allows faster completion and greater customization potential. We can reline or repair old dentures, and offer metal-free flexible partials as well.
