Professional cleanings not only keep your smile healthy and beautiful but also allow us to detect potential issues early—ensuring the best possible care for your long-term oral health.

Whitening
Brighten Your Smile, Boost Your Confidence
Discoloration and yellowing of the teeth can affect self-confidence, making you feel less comfortable showing off your smile. Teeth whitening is a simple yet powerful way to enhance your appearance, giving you a brighter, more youthful look.
At our practice, we offer a professional in-office teeth whitening treatment that is gentle, effective, and affordable. In just one visit, you can achieve noticeably whiter teeth with dramatic results. Our safe and carefully monitored procedure lifts deep stains and discoloration, restoring the natural brilliance of your smile.
Implants
Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants
Dental implants are an excellent solution for replacing one or more missing teeth, allowing you to enjoy the ability to chew healthy food once again. Implants also help preserve bone structure and maintain the health of the surrounding teeth.
Dr. Nichols specializes in restorative implant dentistry and customizes the replacement teeth that fit securely over the titanium post. With over 20 years of ongoing education and expertise, Dr. Nichols collaborates with highly skilled surgeons to create beautiful, natural-looking, and durable implant restorations that restore both function and aesthetics. Let us help you achieve a confident, complete smile!
Restorations
Restore Your Bright, Confident Smile
Yellowing or stained teeth can take a toll on your self-confidence, making you hesitant to share your smile. Fortunately, professional teeth whitening can help you achieve a brighter, more youthful appearance in no time.
Our practice offers a gentle, safe, and highly effective in-office teeth whitening treatment designed to deliver dramatic results in just one visit. This affordable procedure removes deep stains and discoloration, enhancing the natural beauty of your smile while boosting your confidence.
Sleep Apnea
If you experience daytime sleepiness, snoring, reduced concentration, or even depression, you may be suffering from sleep apnea. There are several signs in the mouth that can indicate the presence of risk factors for this condition.
Oral appliances are a highly effective treatment for sleep apnea, as they help keep the airway open during sleep, allowing for better airflow and improving the quality of your rest. These custom-fitted devices are comfortable and easy to use, offering a non-invasive solution for managing sleep apnea and improving your overall health and well-being.
