We also offer our patients cosmetic one on one consults with the laboratory ceramists.
Our Dental Services
Treatment that puts your needs first. We want you to feel safe, comfortable and excited about your dental care.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Crowns, veneers and bridges can be used to improve the appearance of stained, chipped, missing or broken down teeth. We also offer laser gum recontouring to improve a “gummy” smile or to even out different height gingival margins.
We love transforming smiles – call us to see how we can help you get the smile you’ve always wanted.
Laser hygiene and cold sore treatment
Laser Bacterial Reduction (LBR) enables us to destroy the bacteria that cause inflammation and periodontal disease. Cold sores are most effectively treated before they develop a crust, so call us for an appointment as soon as the sore begins to feel tingly or itchy. Laser treatment may prevent the cold sore from breaking out altogether or even from recurring in the future.
Teeth Whitening
Tooth whitening is a safe and affordable way to restore a bright, beautiful shade to your teeth.
We offer in-office Zoom! Whitening to significantly whiten your smile in only one visit. Additionally, take home whitening trays can be made to perfectly fit your teeth and can be used with professional-strength whitening gel to maintain a bright white smile.
Clear Orthodontic Aligners
Clear Aligners are nearly invisible and provide you with discreet orthodontic treatment. These removable trays are made from transparent plastic, fit closely to your teeth and are almost invisible to the naked eye.
Ask us if you are a candidate to straighten your teeth without braces!
Botox/Xeomin
Dr. Rucker has been trained through the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE) on facial anatomy and advanced Botox and Xeomin injection techniques. Botox is a wrinkle relaxer that is used to soften forehead lines, smile lines, crow’s feet, and can even do a “lip flip”.
Botox can also be used to hide a gummy smile, and is often used as a therapeutic treatment for TMJ disorders.
