Why Are You Looking for Dental Care Near Garretson?

I Need a Checkup & Cleaning

If it has been more than six months since your last visit, it’s time to get your next one on the calendar! That way, we can conduct an oral cancer screening, examine the condition of your teeth and gums, and take a look at any existing dental work. Of course, we will also thoroughly clean your teeth, ensuring that plaque and tartar are removed before they negatively impact your oral health.

I Want to Enhance My Smile

Ready to have a smile that you genuinely love? Our dental team near Garretson is too! We’re proud to offer veneers, cosmetic dental bonding, teeth whitening, and several other cosmetic dental services. We even offer Invisalign, which means that straightening your teeth and aligning your bite may not require any metal at all. To put it simply, we’re here to give you a gorgeous smile that makes you look and feel your absolute best.

I Have a Cavity/Broken Tooth

Dental damage is often accompanied by pain when biting down, tender gums, and other abnormal symptoms. So, if you start to experience any, don’t take the “wait and see” approach. Instead, call our dental office near Garretson to schedule an appointment with Dr. Heesch or Dr. Woods. The sooner you do, the sooner they can pinpoint the root of the problem and how to treat it.

I Am Missing One or More Teeth

If you are struggling with tooth loss, we have three solutions: dental bridges, dentures, and dental implants. The one we recommend for you will depend on a few factors, including the density of your jawbone, the extent of your tooth loss, and your willingness to break bad habits, like smoking. The good news is that – no matter which one you choose – the final result will be a complete smile that looks and feels incredible

I Am in Pain & Need Help

If you’re in pain, you need help – fast. Fortunately, our emergency dentists near Garretson are just a phone call away! They also do their best to see patients the same day they call, especially if they are in pain or are dealing with a serious dental injury, like a knocked-out tooth. Plus, they will provide you with helpful instructions on what to do in the meantime to protect your smile from further harm.
