Beautiful, Long-Lasting
Metal-Free Dentistry
At
Summit Dental Excellence, we understand your concerns regarding the use of metal fillings. Accordingly, at our office we have elected to offer our patients the option of using advanced, new fillings made of tooth-colored materials that contain no metal.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Are you aware that the days when tooth ailments and cavities could only be treated with unsightly metal fillings are gone? Today, modern, tooth-colored fillings made of durable resin or porcelain can be bonded to your teeth for a stronger, more natural-looking effect. These revolutionary fillings are virtually undetectable and are easy to apply.
Dental & Restorative Implants
Dental implants are essentially permanent, attached teeth that replace, partials, bridges or dentures. A titanium implant is permanently attached to your bone and a prosthetic tooth (crown) is attached to the implant. Implants are preferred to bridges because they can improve your bite without damaging neighboring teeth (like a bridge). Treatment can be finished in 3 to 5 visits over the space of about 4 to 12 months.

Intraoral Cameras
Ever been curious about what goes on during your dental care visits? Well now, with our intraoral cameras, you don´t have to be curious anymore! An intraoral camera is an indispensable diagnostic and educational tool. The tiny device is a video camera that moves around inside the mouth and generates a tooth-by-tooth video exam of the teeth. With the images produced by the intraoral camera, patients can see each of their teeth and dentists can indicate problems such as broken teeth, plaque, decay, gum disease, defective fillings, and so on. Using an intraoral camera allows patients to better understand their dental needs by seeing what the dentist sees and then having it explained.
Sealants & Fluoride Treatments
Tooth decay, otherwise known as cavities, can be a significant problem for children as well as adults. There are numerous factors that lead to tooth decay and there are ways to prevent it. With the use of sealants, we can cover the deep grooves in your back teeth and extend their life while helping to prevent cavities.
Non-Surgical Periodontics
Periodontal (gum) disease can lead to more than just an unsightly smile – it can cause loss of teeth and eventually, if left untreated, serious health problems. Called gingivitis in its early stages, periodontal disease is caused by excessive toxic bacteria (found in plaque) that attack your mouth’s soft tissues. Early warning signs of this disease include red, swollen, bleeding gums. If caught early, we can help you reverse the damage. If detected late, we can use one of many effective cosmetic dentistry procedures to restore your mouth to a healthy, beautiful state. Let our doctors help you keep your teeth and gums strong and disease-free with regular examinations and cleanings.

Sedation Dentistry
You can have a healthy and beautiful smile with amazingly comfortable sedation dentistry. We care for patients with these concerns:
- I’m afraid of needles and shots.
- I’ve had traumatic experiences.
- I have not been to the dentist in a long time.
- I always gag when having dental work done.
- I just can’t seem to get numb.
- All my teeth are too far gone.
Orthodontics (Braces)
Having straight teeth is important for both your health and appearance. We perform a thorough assessment of your teeth with an emphasis on early treatment. We place a high priority on finding the best way to correct teeth that are misaligned as well as jaw position problems. We will implement a program with the appropriate appliance to help normalize the growth of jaws and they reduce the need for extractions of teeth. The earlier we begin treatment, the better chance we have for success.
State-of-the-Art Sterilization Procedures
Our sterilization procedures meet the Centers for Disease Control guidelines. We heat-sterilize all handpieces and instruments after each use. We only use ADA-approved disinfectants. We use disposable gloves, masks, eye protection and barrier covers at all times.
Filtered Water Lines
We understand your concern about water quality and the importance of keeping you and your family healthy. For this reason, we utilize filtered water lines during our dental procedures. By filtering the water used in dental procedures, we are able to get rid of any substances that may compromise the health of our patients. The safety, health and dental care of patients are our top priorities. This is just another way to show how much we care!
Mercury-Free Dentistry
We understand your concerns regarding the use of mercury fillings. Accordingly, at our office we have elected to offer our patients the option of using advanced, new fillings made of tooth-colored materials that contain no metals or mercury, instead of traditional silver fillings.
Healthy Gums Lead to a Healthy Body!
Continued research has linked gum disease to diabetes, heart disease and low birth weight. In an effort to rid your teeth of the plaque and tartar that causes gum
disease (gingivitis) and tooth decay, your dental care hygienist may suggest a regimen of care that requires more frequent visits.
