    Fluoride Treatment

    Professional fluoride treatment strengthens the enamel, helping it resist acid erosion and bacterial activity that lead to tooth decay. It is particularly beneficial for children and even older adults who are at higher risk of cavities. The treatments are quick and painless, usually taking a few minutes.

    Periodontal Care

    The health of your gums is just as important as your teeth. Through routine periodontal exams and professional cleanings, we help patients maintain healthy gums and reduce the risk of bone loss, tooth mobility, and other complications related to untreated periodontitis.

    Sports Guards

    For those who love engaging in athletic activities, sports guards are a must. At our dental office, we provide custom-fit sports guards made from durable materials that are designed to match your unique dental anatomy. They fit in comfortably, protecting your teeth and gums against dental injuries.

    Mouth Guards/Night Guards for Bruxism

    Habitual teeth grinding or clenching can damage enamel, cause jaw pain, and lead to other dental complications. To prevent these issues, we create custom night guards that fit securely over your teeth. They act as a cushioning layer and keep your teeth from grinding against each other.

    TMJ

    Issues related to the temporomandibular joints, such as jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, and difficulty opening the mouth, may indicate TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder). Our dental professional will assess your symptoms in detail and recommend non-invasive treatments to help alleviate them.

    what our patients say

    I visit this clinic rather often, and the staff is always very nice and compassionate. Dr. Hickerson is a truly kind and honest person. Having interacted with various dentists, I've often noticed that their advice seems driven by business interests rather than a genuine intention to save your teeth. I'm lucky that doctors like Dr. Hickerson are around.

    Tatiana

    Dr. Patel is just incredible! My kids and I loved her. She is thorough and explains everything really well. Super gentle, procedure did not hurt at all. She was able to help me avoid much more extensive dental work. I can honestly say we enjoyed going to the dentist!

    Amishi Shah

    I had 3 crowns and 2 fillings (my parents have a lot to answer for!) and it was pain free. Dr. Hickerson and Micah were efficient and also friendly, made sure I was comfortable.

    Anne Morris

    I would highly recommend Dr. Hickerson and his team to anyone who is looking for a new dentist. His entire staff makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk into the door. I would give them 10 stars if it were possible!

    Thank you Dr. Hickerson, Dr. Patel and staff for everything!
