Comprehensive Care
General Dentistry and Oral Hygiene Services
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are renovations that replace missing teeth, making it easier to eat and speak as well as enhancing how your smile looks. These reconstructions are typically made of durable materials that mimic the natural teeth.
Oral Hygiene
Our six-month oral hygiene appointments consist of teeth cleaning, a check-up, and much more. We utilize state-of-the-art dental technologies to deliver ideal oral health results and demonstrate dental hygiene practices that can help with at-home preventative care.
Dentures
Dentures are removable dental devices that replace missing teeth, restoring the aesthetics of a patient’s smile and enhancing the functionality of their mouth. These appliances are custom made for a comfortable and beautiful improvement.
Tooth Extractions
Permanent teeth may need to be professionally extracted for various reasons, such as impaction, decay, trauma, or overcrowding. Patients may need a simple or surgical extraction depending on their unique needs. Your dentist will determine the best extraction approach during your appointment.
Periodontal Services
We perform several periodontal services to help preserve the integrity of the jawbone and promote optimal oral health. When a patient neglects to treat the early stages of gum disease, it can develop into periodontal disease, which is often asymptomatic. This condition can lead to bone loss and gum degeneration, so it is essential to seek treatment as soon as possible.
Root Canals
A root canal can alleviate the discomfort associated with infections inside the affected tooth. It can also prevent the infection from developing into a more severe condition, such as an abscess or bone deterioration. We make sure that every patient is relaxed and comfortable during all root canal procedures performed at Gentle Care Dentistry.
Pediatric Dentistry
As soon as your child’s first tooth erupts, it is an excellent time to schedule a visit to the dentist. Gentle Care Dentistry specializes in pediatric dentistry. We provide most of the same services for children as we do adults, and we aim to give our young patients a pleasant and relaxing dental experience.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry can ease dental anxieties and make the experience pleasant and relaxed. Intravenous (IV) sedation is most appropriate for patients who require lengthy, complicated procedures and those who are afraid of undergoing dental work. At Gentle Care Dentistry, our board-certified anesthesiologist with over 20 years of experience administers anesthesia to patients who opt for sedation services.
Concerns
New Patients
Your initial visit to Gentle Care Dentistry is the first step to building a relationship with your dentist. Getting to know your medical history and dental needs will help us deliver the care you desire. If you are new to our practice, you can save time by printing and filling out the necessary new patient forms before your first appointment.

Pain Management
Depending on the procedure being performed, your dentist may prescribe pain medication to manage any discomfort following your treatment. Applying a cold compress can also help reduce swelling and pain after a dental procedure.

At Gentle Care Dentistry, we offer our patients several financing options and work with an experienced financial coordinator. We accept Delta Dental and United Concordia, among other insurance plans. We also accept checks, cash, or credit cards. Our financial coordinator can also help to develop a flexible payment plan for you.
