About Our Dental Office
We believe high quality oral health care includes the absolute minimum in discomfort and inconvenience. This is easier to achieve early on. It's vital to get little dental problems fixed early. Preventing major (and minor) problems is good, basic health care. Not only is it "more comfortable," it is also less costly. Read More About Our Office
Water Laser Technology
Our high-tech dental technology uses laser energy and a gentle spray of water. This allows us to provide a range of dental procedures without the heat, vibration and pressure associated with the dental drill. With some procedures it’s possible for us to use less anesthetic–even no anesthetic at all–with this equipment versus using a drill. Learn More About Water Laser Tech
SLEEP APNEA SOLUTIONS
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is when the airway collapses because of the tissues in the neck and throat relaxing and the tongue falling back and blocking the airway. When this happens, airflow to the lung is restricted (Hypopnea) or blocked completely (Apnea). When the airflow is limited enough the brain will signal an emergency response, bringing the person out of deep sleep, and into a light level of sleep where the person will gasp or adjust their position to increase airflow, then fall asleep again. And the cycle repeats.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are an alternative to traditional bridgework and dentures. They offer several real advantages. Because implant restorations look and feel more like natural teeth, they offer higher levels of comfort, security, and confidence over traditional treatments. Dental implants will not slip or move.

DIODE LASER TEETH WHITENING
A bright, white smile is attractive. And many of the foods and drinks we are attracted to stain our teeth. What to do? First and foremost, regular brushing of the teeth and gums is basic. Also, try some of the whitening toothpastes. If you need to do more, we can help. Often it takes only a single one-hour visit. Details Here on Diode Laser Teeth Whitening
TMJ TREATMENT
TMD is sometimes used as a catch-all diagnosis without going to the root of what is causing the pain. In our office Dr. Wheeler focuses on treating the cause of the TMD issues rather than masking the pain with drugs or other delaying tactics. We use simple, non-invasive methods that relieve pressure on the joint and allow healing to occur.
