I am proud to say that our office is a state of the art facility in every way and an appointment with us will be the cleanest and safest space you will enter all day. Everything in the office is disinfected, sterilized, or safely disposed. In fact, our sterilization facility is patterned after hospital intensive care facilities.
I do love every one of my fine family of patients and respect a desire to postpone non urgent care for a period of time. This might create openings in the schedule which we have not experienced in over 40 years of practice. So if you, a family member or a friend is a laid off hourly worker with no benefits, or if you are a health care provider that has an hour of free time to take care of your own health, or a veteran who has served our country, I am offering an opportunity to come in, WITHOUT CHARGE to have a cleaning, oral cancer assessment, or relief of pain, to the extent our schedule permits. It will be a first come , first served basis. If we are full at the moment, we will call you if time becomes available. I don’t know if there will be more than a handful of people seen, but if is available, we are there to help.
Sometimes the most challenging of times gives us unique opportunities to help others. This has been my life’s work and am convinced that “this too shall pass”.
We are at 25 East Washington

We are mindful of your experience every time you visit us. We miss you, Amalia. Thanks for the kind words.
Happy fall! Get ready to embrace the change of season and all its autumnal beauty.
We see these gimmicky commercials featuring dark powders and pastes promising a brighter and whiter smile, but beware of the harmful effects of charcoal-based pastes. These can damage the enamel of the tooth and do the opposite of whiten. Instead, use a whitening toothpaste that gradually whitens over time and is safe for your enamel and gums.
We understand that life is chaotic, but try to keep a healthy diet of nutrient-filled fruits and veggies, not only for your overall health but the health of your mouth. More often than not, poor oral health gets its start from easily accessible fast food, like starchy and sugar-rich foods. Prepare yourself for snack attacks and have a healthy alternative on hand. Your smile will thank you for it.
#TBT Our patients are like family to us.
Composite resin (also known as a tooth-colored filling) is a great way to protect your teeth while not advertising that you have a filling. Dr. Barr and Dr. Diachenko can remove any decay from your tooth and replace amalgam fillings with tooth-colored fillings that bond to your teeth for strong and beautiful restorations.
#TBT Crowns are an amazing feat in dental techniques and it's worth all the effort to see that smile.
We strive to keep an up-to-date facility for our patients. Thanks for the kind review, Jennifer.

Everyone is after those quick-fix lotions and potions, but cosmetic dentistry can actually take years off your face with a new and improved smile. Like the shoes of an outfit, your smile is the first thing people notice. Turn back the clock with our whitening, bonding, tooth colored filings, or veneers and watch how fast people are asking you, "So, what's your secret?"
We have the expertise to perform all kinds of procedures to help your smile now and for years to come, but the most important service might be the knowledge of what care you will need. The CAMBRA system and the CariFree system help determine your risk of tooth decay. Just like a cardiologist measures your blood pressure and cholesterol to determine your risk for a heart attack, so we can take these same active steps to diagnose problems earlier, making your smile that much safer.
Your oral hygiene routine doesn't have to be complicated. Make sure to brush with an ADA-approved toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush for two minutes morning and night, and floss after. You can use a mouthwash after a good tongue scraping as well. Eat sugary foods in moderation and remember to drink plenty of water. Now that's not so bad, is it?
#TBT We are in the business of making million dollar smiles.
We appreciate you, Chad. Thank you for the positive review.
Cosmetic dentistry can help you find the confidence in your smile you need to excel in your personal and professional life.

You think you know a thing or two about pressure? Think again! The average bite can have over 270 pounds of pressure. So think about what your jaw, teeth, and TMJ joints go through at night when you clench and grind. Bruxism is a condition that can not only be painful but can result in cracking and the wearing out of your teeth. Protect your teeth with one of our nightguards that help prevent damage caused by bruxism's extreme pressure.
Happy National Child's Day! Celebrate your child's dreams, goals, and aspirations. Embrace every inch of who they are and the unique gift they are in your life.

According to the CDC, 47.2% of adults age 30 years and older have some form of periodontal disease. This happens when the cuff surrounding your gums forms a gap and becomes irritated by a buildup of tartar, plaque, and food particles. Bacterial infection will flourish inside the gums: this is called gingivitis. If left untreated and allowed to fester, it will progress into periodontitis, a more serious form of gum disease. This final stage is where pockets form, resulting in infection, tooth loss, and even potential bone loss. The importance for daily good oral hygiene has never been greater.
