Did you know that a DENTAL IMPLANT can be placed painlessly in about half an hour? It's a great way to replace a missing tooth (or teeth) and is a substitution for a bridge or partial. And with our interest-free financing, it can be an affordable way to prevent adjacent teeth from tilting and shifting. Please schedule an appointment to see if you are a good candidate for DENTAL IMPLANTS.

Read about NO MORE CAVITIES:

Do you stand in front of the wall of toothpaste in the drugstore, wondering which of the umpteen-million toothpastes you should be using? Are you afraid that if you make a mistake, your teeth will look the same color as your favorite brown winter sweater? 

Well, not only are toothpaste companies always trying to re-invent themselves, for THEIR profit, other dental researchers are looking for ways to HELP YOU, too. Of course, they will make a profit, but the beneficiaries are the consumers. 

Let me tell you about one of the greatest innovations. It’s called CARIFREE and it is a system of products designed to eliminate tooth decay. Let me say that again, ELIMINATE TOOTH DECAY. 

The system starts with an easy swipe across the lower front teeth with a special swab, which is inserted into a little meter. The meter then reads the number of bacteria from your teeth and prints out a numerical value. Low bacterial count and you can breathe easy, high count and it’s CARIFREE to the rescue. 

CARIFREE is a series of products that eliminate bacteria, neutralize acids in the mouth, and strengthen tooth enamel. By rinsing once a day, using a mouth spray, and exchanging your chewing gum for xylitol gum, you can be assured that you can take that great vacation every year instead of coughing up the money for the dentist. 

And what about not having to drag your kids, kicking and screaming, to get their cavities drilled? There’s now a much better way - a Dental Laser. No shots, no drills, no pain.

Does Carifree really work, you ask? You can go to www.carifree.com for more information.

May you always have the smile you desire and the gentle care you deserve
