We are improving the oral health of all by expanding access, affordability and having a greater focus on preventing dental disease – rather than just treating it. Oral health is the health of your mouth and everything in it, including teeth, gums, throat, and the bones around the mouth.

Without proper oral health care, children have a high risk of decay and oral disease, which can cause a lifetime of complications and pain. Today, dental decay in children is five times more common than asthma and seven times more common than hay fever.

The hospital’s emergency room cannot provide the care that should take place in your dentist's office. When it comes to your teeth, emergency room professionals have a limited ability to help. Your teeth need specialized care that can only be offered by a dentist or dental specialist.

Our dentists use restorative dentistry to help keep the mouth healthy and functional. The goal of restorative dentistry is to preserve natural teeth as much as possible. This can be done through implants, fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays/onlays, and full and partial dentures.

Cosmetic dentistry describes any dental procedure that improves the appearance of teeth, but not necessarily the function or health of teeth. Most cosmetic dentistry procedures are non-essential, but can offer an array of benefits.
