Patient Services

From preventive care to cosmetic improvements, and everything in between, we serve patients with one goal in mind: your individual best overall dental health.

Preventive Care: Smiling at the Future

When it comes to preventive care, we’re perfectionists. In fact, you may be surprised to find that Dr. Jeppson does the actual hands-on cleaning work on your teeth. That’s because he’s determined to establish an excellent relationship with each patient, keeping a close eye on each individual’s dental health. Dr. Jeppson also takes the time to explain and even illustrate the details of the procedures and techniques he’s using, so that you’ll understand what’s going on inside your mouth. Our preventive services are geared to establishing your dental health, then maintaining it with daily habits that will allow you to smile at the future.

  • Hygiene
  • Dental Sealants
  • Regular Checkups
  • Patient Education
  • Nightguards to prevent grinding

Restorative Care: Bringing Back Your Smile

When it comes to restorative care, we’re conservationists. We work hard to maintain the health of your natural teeth, applying the appropriate procedures to restore function and esthetics where needed. We stay abreast of the latest techniques and treatments and inform you of the choices available, without pushing you to take unnecessary and costly steps. Our goal is to first help you determine your best options and give your smile a brand new start.

Cosmetic Services: Letting the Real You Shine Through

As for cosmetic services, we’re enthusiasts. In today’s world, there’s no reason to put up with cosmetic problems that are easily remedied. So, talk to us about your concerns and let us help you explore the best options available. In many cases, our patients find that their personality shines through their new smile in ways they couldn’t have imagined.

  • Tooth Colored Fillings
  • Porcelain Veneers
  • Teeth Whitening
  • Bonding
  • All Porcelain Crowns
  • Gum Disease: Getting Tough on Tartar

When it comes to gum disease, we’re ruthless. That’s because periodontal (gum) disease goes so easily unnoticed while wreaking such damage to your overall dental health. So, we take the time necessary to meticulously observe, chart, and deeply clean your gum tissues and teeth each time you visit. Then we compare your previous reports to our current findings, so that we catch even the slightest tendency towards periodontal disease before it ever becomes a problem.

  • Charting & Diagnostic Services
  • Deep & Regular Cleanings
  • Oral Surgery: Removing Problems & Restoring Health

When it comes to general oral surgery, we work with both precision and care. First, we’re careful to analyze your particular situation and determine whether extraction is the best option. If so, we take all the time necessary to explain the procedure, allay any fears, and keep you comfortable. And in cases where a specialist is advisable, we’ll provide an excellent and trustworthy referral.

Technology: Improving Our Service

When it comes to technology, we’re pretty particular. That’s because not all technical advances are truly patient care advances. But if there’s a new way to significantly improve our work, while also genuinely improving your outcome, then we consider it a good investment. Like nickel-titanium rotary files that make root canal work safer and faster for you, and more convenient for us: this revolutionary material allows the files to bend and follow the curve of the root canal with less carving or breakage. Or Stabident, a new method for numbing the lower jaw that’s faster, more effective, and has fewer side effects than the traditional mandibular block. Below are our current technology investments:

  • Intra Oral Camera
  • Magnification
  • Nickel Titanium Rotary Files
  • Stabident
