Our practice provides a rounded approach to your dental

treatment and routine care in addition to cosmetic procedures
all under the expert care of Dr. Wilcox. This ensures that
your overall dental health is considered because we understand
all of the needs, desires and other factors exclusive to
your unique situation.
Our services extend beyond actual dental procedures. We
believe in the value of patient education as well. Our highly
skilled staff will talk to you about how to maintain your
dental health between visits, so that you can have long-lasting,
beautiful results.
When Your Mouth Hurts, Call Us
If you have a tootache or discomfort in your mouth or jaw, it is important to have a complete oral exam to determine the cause. This Dental Symptoms Reference Chart will help you understand the possible causes and solutions for your oral discomfort. View the chart.
Cosmetic Services
Cosmetic services are the cornerstone of our practice.
Recognizing that every person and every mouth is different,
we evaluate your individual situation to determine the best
course of treatment. We then discuss options with you to
discover what procedures make the most sense for you. All
consultations include a smile analysis. We analyze your
smile so that you can see the possibilities available to
you and which meets your goals.
Dr. Wilcox has extensive training in numerous cosmetic
procedures, including almost 20 years in porcelain veneers.
In addition, he has had cosmetic work done on his own mouth
to augment his smile and correct his bite.
Our cosmetic services include:
Restorative Services
Harmful bacteria, accidents, teeth-grinding and failed
restorations can create problems for your teeth and gums
over time. Once bright and strong teeth may yellow or feel
sensitive to hot and cold. A roller-skating adventure gone
wrong can leave you with a chipped or missing tooth. Our
restorative services are designed to restore not only your
smile but function as well.
CEREC is an excellent
example of restorative technology we use. In a single visit,
we can perform full or partial crowns, often within one
hour! This method has revolutionized the way we take care
of crowns, eliminating the need for molds and a second visit.
No second visit means less missed work, inconvenience and
anesthetic.
Our restorative services include:
Patient Comfort and Technology
We believe you deserve exceptional care and attention when
you visit the dentist. That is why we strive to provide
a comfortable and friendly environment that will far exceed
your expectations. Our entire facility is designed for you,
our patient. In our lounge, you may find yourself wondering
if you are indeed visiting your dentist as you relax in
our lazy boy chairs and watch television. In your dental
exam room, you can listen to music or watch television with
our wireless headphones as we take care of your dental treatment.
We believe that patient comfort is also linked to technology.
We have a standing dedication to our patients to ensure
that we are providing only the highest quality dental care,
so we regularly attend continuing education classes and
investigate dental technological advances.
Preventive Care Services
Consistent, quality oral health care allows for you to
keep smiling with confidence and comfort. Our preventive
care services help prevent unwanted plaque, gum disease
and other dental problems. We also offer advice and demonstrations
so that you can maintain your healthy, vibrant smile at
home.
Gum Disease Therapy
Did you know that approximately 80 percent of people have
some form of gum disease? Many are unaware of the problem
or ignore early warning signs, such as bleeding gums and
general discomfort. If you have gum disease, we chart and
diagnose the extent of it and then provide therapy to fight
the problem.
