Our Services
In addition to being interested in the beauty of your smile, we are concerned with the health of your mouth. To help you achieve and maintain your optimal oral health, we focus on cosmetic dentistry, periodontal health, and dental implants. Our goal is to not only keep your teeth and gums looking good, feeling great, and functioning well, but to also help you significantly reduce the amount of money you’ll have to spend on dental treatment later in life. A healthy body needs a healthy smile!

Advanced Technologies & Systems We Utilize:
Digital Technology
Digital x-rays are a fast and comfortable way for us to accurately diagnose your oral health needs, and they emit up to 90% less radiation! We employ digital imaging as well, to show you your new and improved smile before treatment even begins. Digital technology also requires no chemical processing, so it’s easy on you and on the environment.
Intraoral Camera
Using this camera, we can give you a “tour” of your mouth, live on a TV screen. We also use the camera to guide you through your dental diagnosis and treatment options, keeping you at the center of your treatment plan. We want you to feel informed every step of the way, so you can make smart choices for your oral health and smile.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Composite fillings can be adhesively held in place or “bonded.” Because they can be bonded to teeth, composite fillings allow for more conservative preparations where less healthy tooth structure is removed. This often results in smaller fillings than that of amalgam (silver) fillings, and they are more natural looking. The tooth-colored material is cured with an intense light and the surface is shaped and polished to match the tooth, rendering the final restoration virtually undetectable to the eye and very natural feeling in the mouth.
One-Visit Crowns with CEREC®
What makes one-visit crowns possible? With the CEREC® System, we are able to design, make, and place crowns, inlays, and onlays in only one office visit! Using a special camera, we take several images of the tooth that needs to be repaired. Then, working from those images, we digitally design a restoration that we are equipped to mill right in our office. The computer aided milling process is extremely precise, ensuring a comfortable fit when we bond the newly made restoration to the tooth. The metal-free ceramic and composite materials used for CEREC crowns are tooth-colored and natural looking. The process allows us to add grooves and other details to make the crowns very natural feeling, too. Your single-visit crown will feel as good as your natural tooth, if not better!
The benefits of a one-visit crown go beyond saving your valuable time. You can also avoid the hassle of a plastic temporary crown while laboratory work is being completed, a process that can take weeks and multiple dental appointments. As an added bonus, this one-visit digital process eliminates the need for impression trays of messy goo in your mouth. Call us to find out more!
Dental Implants
If you struggle with ill-fitting, uncomfortable dentures or a retainer with false teeth, Drs. Paluk and Echeverria can give your smile a second chance with dental implants. Dental implants resolve the practical and social problems associated with dentures, stabilizing them for a more comfortable fit and a more natural look and feel. In addition to denture stabilization, implants can be used in some crown and bridge applications and as single-tooth replacements.
- Dental implants are the preferred method of replacing missing teeth.
- Implants look and feel more like natural teeth, so you can chew, talk and smile with confidence again.
- Healthy implants can even prevent the bone loss that can occur after losing teeth.
More Benefits of Dental Implants:
We work hard to stay on the leading-edge of restorative dentistry and believe it’s best to have the same dentist who places your implants be the one to restore them. This is why Drs. Paluk and Echeverria have completed training in both phases of implant dentistry, allowing you to receive all of your implant treatment in one office. Call us to find out more about how this wonderful option in restorative dentistry could change your smile and your life!
Professional Teeth Whitening
Whiter teeth not only provide the benefit of a cleaner looking and more attractive smile—a bright smile enhances your confidence and self-esteem, too. As a bonus, professional teeth whitening can lead to healthier teeth, because when your teeth look better, you tend to take better care of them to keep them looking great. We offer both convenient take home whitening solutions (with custom trays) and Sapphire™ Light, a powerful in-office whitening system. Ask us about your options at your next visit.
Invisalign®
If you think clear and removable braces sound perfect, a straight smile could be yours in no time with Invisalign®. Through a series of clear Aligners®, this comfortable and removable alternative to traditional braces straightens your teeth with noticeable results, but without the noticeable bars and brackets of metal braces. The Aligners are changed approximately every two weeks to straighten your teeth step by step, and for your ease and convenience, they can be taken out while you eat and brush your teeth! Call today—the smile you’ve always wanted could be closer than you think.
Sedation Options
Dental anxiety is not unusual, and people of any age can experience such feelings. We will adjust our care to meet your needs, so you can receive the dental treatment you desire at a pace that feels comfortable to you. We also offer oral sedation to help you relax. Please share your feelings and concerns with us, so we can accommodate you and make your dental visits as anxiety- and pain-free as we can.
For Your Comfort
We know how stressful life can be, and we believe that going to the dentist should—and can!—be a relaxing, worry-free experience. We offer TVs in our treatment rooms, personalized care, and exceptional customer service to help you feel more comfortable and confident in us as your dental healthcare providers.
