Crooked teeth are harder to clean and can sometimes be responsible for chronic headaches. Straight teeth are easy to brush and floss, which enables you to get more thorough with your oral care, lessening the chance of cavities and gum disease. Therefore, straight teeth not only look nice but are far better for your mouth's health.

Inlays and onlays are larger than a filing but smaller than a crown, but both have advantages to help your teeth look and feel their best. They are made of a composite that will not expand or contract with temperature changes caused by hot or cold foods. They can strengthen your teeth up to 75% more because of the way they are made. Because they are the same color as your teeth and are virtually invisible, they blend in, looking like your natural tooth. Learn more about how inlays and onlays can improve your smile.
#TBT This was a great before and after photo to show what can be accomplished in just TWO short visits. This patient was unhappy with the darkness of his front tooth due to non vitality, otherwise known as “dead tooth.” He asked that we do minimal treatment with aesthetically pleasing results. His front two teeth were crowed with full porcelain crowns. The two adjacent teeth were repaired with composite fillings. What a difference just a little cosmetic work can do to a smile.
We respect every patient and their schedule. Thank you for the wonderful review, Sara. "Dr. Alhadef is fantastic. He was able to help my elderly father with Parkinson’s with a dental emergency within an hour. He was patient, efficient and a great communicator.

I am so impressed with his bedside manner and dental expertise I am making him my dentist as well!" —

Experiencing pain by your wisdom teeth? When your wisdom teeth begin to emerge they may have improper alignment or the inability to completely emerge out of the jaw sometimes leaves a trapped wisdom tooth between the gum tissue and the jaw bone. We call this an “impacted tooth.” The condition can cause pain, swelling, and even bacterial infection of the gums. Don't live with the pain. Call our office if you're experiencing these symptoms.
#TBT Did you know most of our procedures no longer require an impression? We are still so excited about our iTero intraoral scanner. This HD digital scanner takes a virtual scan of your mouth that can then be printed as a 3D model! Next time you’re here, ask us how it may benefit you.

It's cold and flu season and with that comes germs that can cause our typical cold-weather illnesses. It's important to wash your hands and take extra precautions but many don't think of their toothbrush as a threat. Use baking soda or mouthwash to kill any unhealthy germs that may linger. This will cut down on the likelihood of contracting anything or reinfection after an illness. Also, remember to replace your toothbrush every three to five months.

Whitening is a quick and effective option for brightening your smile, but we often get asked how long the effects will last to which we answer, "Well, that's entirely up to you." Food, drink, and unhealthy habits are what degrade the whitening effects. That's why most people will have to re-whiten annually to keep their pearly whites bright. Remember to brush and floss daily and ask us about touch-ups with Zoom! Nite White Gel Weekender. Don't wait! Brighten your smile today.
Dentures take some getting used to, what with initial temporary speech issues and some oral irritation while your mouth adjusts, but people most commonly experience problems because of poor oral hygiene. Your mouth's structure will change over time but you still need to take care of your dentures like your own teeth. Maintain a good oral habit of keeping your gums as well as your dentures clean for years of use, and a beautiful smile will be your reward.
We hope the festivities of the season bring you great joy. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
