Tightening our jaw muscles and in turn, clenching or grinding our teeth is called it “bruxism”. Don’t let this ruin your smile.

Endodontists are often known as the “root canal” doctors, and in the past, a root canal was dreaded. Today, this procedure has been reduced to a more comfortable one; one that is no longer feared or painful.

Dentistry goes beyond just the teeth. Periodontics is the specialization in the health of the gums.

When a tooth cannot be saved, it can be painlessly removed for an implant to replace the damaged tooth. At Lumia Dental, the process has become modernized with digital dentistry and predictable protocols.

Veneers and crowns are thin porcelain shells custom-made for every tooth to change the shape/color and rebuild lost tooth structure. Cosmetic bondings are dental fillings that are seamlessly contoured onto enamel to reshape a tooth.

Invisalign uses very thin, clear, virtually invisible plastic trays to painlessly move your teeth horizontally, vertically, and even rotationally to straighten them and improve your smile.

Cavities and cracks result in destruction of tooth structure and necessitate a dental restoration, which could be as minimal as a filling or as comprehensive as a crown.

X-rays are often not diagnostic. We are excited to feature radiation-free screenings for cavities and tooth fractures. This is especially helpful for patients who cannot tolerate x-rays, pediatric patients, pregnant patients, special needs patients, and for patients who are concerned about radiation.
