TOOTH-COLORED FILLINGS
No one will know you have fillings at all with restorations that perfectly match the color of your existing teeth!
Your tooth-colored bonded restorations are performed under the TLC amber light mode. This wavelength of light allows visualization of the area without prematurely curing the bonding agents leading to a chemically correct, strong and long-lasting bond between the composite and tooth.
BRITESMILE
Remarkably effective and safe, the BriteSmile system can brighten discolored, stained or dull teeth.
BriteSmile treatment consists of a gentle hydrogen-peroxide whitening gel activated by a special patented light operating in the gentle “blue spectrum.” Unlike traditional methods, with BriteSmile there’s no fuss or mess and no gels or trays to take home.
The patented BriteSmile light is not UV, heat or laser-activated. It is a gentle blue light that is wavelength matched to our whitening gel to effectively whiten and brighten your teeth in just over an hour.
Or, for the ultimate in tooth whitening, combine BriteSmile with take home trays. Want the back row to see your smile? The ultimate whitening combination is for you
SINGLE VISIT ROOT CANALS
Dr. Blair performs most root canals in just one visit. That means you will only have to come back to have your permanent crown placed. Dr. Blair is able to do so with the Dentaport ZX hand piece and the nickel titanium rotary files. Your time and x-ray exposure are minimized while your comfort and speedy recovery maximized.
PORCELAIN CROWNS AND BRIDGES
If you are faced with tooth loss, crown and bridge treatment may be the best option for you.
Dr. Blair will determine the type of crown and bridges that will best suit your needs for strength, health and incredibly natural looking results. Glidewell Lab will custom craft your crown or bridge.
PORCELAIN VENEERS
Beautiful, natural-looking and long-lasting, veneers can give you the wonderful smile you’ve always wanted. Veneers can also close gaps, disguise discolored teeth and straighten misaligned teeth without braces.
Prep or No-Prep veneers—what’s right for you? Dentistry’s version of the press-on fingernail… our laboratory at Glidewell Veneers takes our digital photographs, shade selection and impressions to craft veneers which can close gaps, disguise discolored teeth, and straightens misaligned teeth without braces.
DENTURES
Dentures can be made to resemble your natural teeth so your smile will be completely remade. Modern dentures are undetectable and secure, looking like natural teeth. We offer Immediate Dentures—dentures placed immediately after your teeth have been extracted.
Mini Dental Implants – an exciting new technology that is minimally invasive to stabilize dentures.

DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implants are titanium fixtures placed into the jaw underneath the gum that biologically bond to the living bone. Once healed the implants act as anchors to allow the attachment of porcelain or acrylic teeth. Implants restore the natural look, feel and function of natural teeth.

WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTION
Wisdom teeth can be impacted, which means they have nowhere to grow. Removal of wisdom teeth is recommended at an earlier age because the roots are not fully formed and the bone surrounding the impacted tooth is less rigid, making surgery less traumatic.
ORAL SURGERY 
Sometimes you just cannot save a tooth. Dr. Blair does extractions only when it is a last resort and the tooth is unsalvageable. This is usually because of advanced periodontal disease (the tooth is too loose) or it is not salvageable through doing a root canal or by using other conventional methods. Using the Picasso Light Lazer , trauma is reduced on soft tissue surrounding the affected area.
SLEEP APNEA or SNORING DEVICES
We can provide you with oral appliances to reduce or eliminate snoring by bringing your lower jaw forward, opening the airway to allow air to flow more freely.
VIZILITE ORAL CANCER SCREENING
With the ViziLite oral screening technology, we look for cancerous or pre-cancerous oral tissue.
BITEGUARDS
Did you know that approximately one-third of the population either brux or clench their teeth, resulting in tooth damage? Our biteguards can comfortably stop this problem.
