Providing Dental Care for Your Whole Family

A smile has an incredible influence not only on how you are perceived by others, but how you perceive yourself. A healthy, beautiful mouth is much more than simply straight, white teeth. It involves a proper bite relationship (occlusion), joint and muscle comfort (TMJ), and proper soft tissue (gum) health. Our Vernon and Coventry, CT, dentists are dedicated to providing cosmetic and restorative dentistry procedures that can restore your smile to optimum health and appearance.

Our dentists accomplish this goal by developing individualized treatment plans based on your specific clinical needs and incorporating your own dental goals. This systemic approach involves exceptional care and time. If necessary, our dentists will work with the best specialists in the area to provide you the dental care you need.

We strongly promote prevention techniques, utilizing the most up-to-date scientific methods to control oral disease. This minimizes the amount of dental care you may need in the future. The passion for excellence provided by our dentists extends to all ages, from children to seniors. We strive to deliver you the best treatments to support your oral and overall health in a safe and caring environment.
