Services Aesthetic Family Dentistry Offers

Smile Makeovers
A smile makeover may use a combination of services such as whitening, bonding, veneersand more. From full-scale rehabilitation to dental crowns, Dr. Roderick can design the smile of your dreams using his “Smile Design” training from the Pacific Aesthetic Continuum, a renowned cosmetic dentistry program. He listens to your goals, considers your mouth's condition and presents a custom treatment plan using advanced methods that deliver better, faster results—all based on your preferences, priorities and budget.
Veneers
A thin porcelain shell that covers your existing natural tooth, a veneer can correct many issues like spaces, cracks, stains, unevenness, chipped enamel and more. Veneers appear and feel like your natural teeth.
Whitening
Coffee, wine, smoking and certain foods may stain your teeth over time, and proper maintenance or age may result in a less-than-brilliant smile. We offer tray whitening and chairside whitening treatments that can restore your teeth's natural coloring or brighten them 4-10 shades whiter if you prefer.
Dental Implants
The best treatment option to permanently replace missing or extracted teeth, dental implants do not alter additional teeth as is the case with crowns. An implant is a “man-made” replacement for a missing or rotten tooth, consisting of a titanium root implant, an abutment to serve as a base for the replacement tooth and a restorative crown.
Invisalign®
Invisalign clear plastic aligners straighten teeth without brackets or wires of braces, alleviating issues related to improper bite, speech or chewing difficulties, jaw problems or increased wear on tooth enamel. Also the aligners are removable for easy cleaning, promoting oral health.
Niteguard/TMJ
A bite guard appliance serves to stabilize jaw joints, decrease muscle tension and related head and neck aches, as well as protect teeth and dental work from clenching and grinding habits.
Crowns and Bridges
Made from porcelain, metal or a combination of the two, crowns can help you recover your smile when an entire tooth has weakened or succumbed to decay, cracks, discoloration and the like. Strong, durable and often made from gold, metal, alloys or porcelain, bridges consist of two crowns on either end to attach to existing teeth and a replacement tooth to fill the space of a missing tooth.
Tooth-Colored Fillings or Bonding
Tooth-colored filling material is a popular choice over unattractive silver amalgam fillings to fill cavities. Bonding also can correct cracks or gaps in teeth as well as camouflage stains or discolored teeth.
Inlays and Onlays
Also referred to as partial crowns, inlays and onlays are ceramic restorations that fit into or onto an existing tooth to restore a tooth's shape, strengthen the tooth's remaining structure or prevent further decay.
Dentures and Partial Dentures
Dentures and partial dentures are removable replacements for a patient's missing teeth. While they are not permanent fixtures in your mouth, dentures require the same care as natural teeth.
Dental Hygiene and Periodontal Health
In addition to providing routine professional dental cleanings, we help you establish a dental hygiene routine to keep your smile vibrant and the vision of health. We also offer periodontal cleanings and treatment to help you maintain healthy gums.
Breathcare
Chronic bad breath, or halitosis, can be embarrassing and compromise your social life. We can address the problem with a number of solutions, including tongue scrapers, gels, mouth rinses and special toothpaste. 
Oral Cancer Screenings
Highly recommended for patients but especially for smokers and heavy drinkers, oral cancer screenings provide early detection of issues that otherwise might go unnoticed, enabling swift treatment.
Periodontal (Gum) Therapy
Often plaque or tartar accumulates beneath the gum line, requiring special treatment, or root planing, to clear affected areas of harmful bacteria. Antibiotics will also be placed to ensure optimal healing.
NuCalm®
Deep relaxation is achieved through 4 simple steps. 1) Eating an all natural chew tablet that provides key vitamins. 2) Placing microcurrent stimulation patches behind your ears. 3) Putting on special noise dampening headphones with soothing music. 4) Wearing light blocking sun glasses to remove visual stimulations.   NuCalm is administered by our team at the beginning of your appointment and most patients experience deep relaxation within 3 to 5 minutes.  While listening to soothing music, you will relax comfortably in the chair for the entire appointment and will simply not care about the dentistry being done.  Once your dental appointment is completed, you can leave our office immediately with no side effects, no impairments, and no recovery time.
