General Dentistry
Coming to the dentist for regular exams, x-rays and cleanings is an essential part of keeping your teeth, gums and mouth healthy. Dr Moses believes good dental health is essential to good overall health. This concept is being validated repeatedly by the latest medical and dental research. His comprehensive dental care encompasses a thorough examination and imaging of dental status, not only for tooth restoration but establishing proper chewing, swallowing, jaw relationships, breathing, posture, oral habits, possible infections and other diseases.
Dr. Moses' comprehensive range of dental services includes restorative and implant dentistry, endodontics, oral surgery, TMJ, periodontal treatment, oral appliances for snoring and sleep apnea and cosmetic procedures such as veneers, tooth whitening and invisible orthodontics. How well you look affects how good you feel about yourself, so cosmetic dentistry is an important aspect of good health and of Dr. Moses' dental practice.
Veneers are very thin, tooth-colored shells that are custom-fit and bonded to the front sides of teeth to close gaps, cover stains and discolorations, and correct chipped or misshapen teeth to give you a bright, even, attractive smile.
 The ZOOM!® chairside whitening system is a safe, effective and fast way to brighten your teeth in a single office visit. The ZOOM! procedure is much more convenient than wearing trays or strips, making it a great choice for our busy patients.
ZOOM! is done in the office during one visit of an hour or two. At your appointment we apply a gentle, hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel to your teeth. The gel is then exposed to a high-intensity light. After the treatment, your teeth will be up to 6-10 shades whiter.
Dentist-supervised whitening is one of the safest and most conservative cosmetic dental treatments available. The most common side effect is an increased tooth sensitivity to cold for 1-3 days after treatment.
We also offer professional-strength take-home bleaching trays for patients who want to "touch up" their treatment.
Invisible orthodontics is a new, remarkable system of invisible tooth repositioners that help straighten teeth comfortably without metal bands, brackets or wires. They are easily removable so you can eat, drink, brush and floss. Best of all, no one will know you're wearing invisible tooth repositioner unless you tell them.
Now you can enjoy the smile you have always wanted without the annoyance of metal in your mouth. No metal brackets darkening your smile. No irritated lips or cheeks. No worries about mouth injury while playing sports.
Invisible orthodontics is best for teeth that are crowded, twisted and tipped. Typically, Invisible orthodontic treatment takes less than a year from start to finish. You will see your dentist approximately every 2 weeks to review your progress. You will receive a new repositioner every visit. Treatment time and the number of repositioners you receive will vary case by case.
Minimally visible clear plastic brackets as well as removable orthodontic appliances are also available for patients whose clinical requirements make them a more appropriate and effective treatment alternative.
 The back teeth are noticeable when we talk and especially when we laugh. Seeing dark, unsightly areas of metal can detract from what otherwise might be a perfect set of teeth. Now there are fillings available that are specially designed to match the natural color of the tooth. These directly placed, bonded resin fillings can make a tooth look like new, whether they are used for treating decay or to replace defective old metal fillings.
Metal-free crowns are used to strengthen and improve the shape, size or color of teeth.
They can restore or replace broken or weak teeth or those with large fillings; provide a smooth, strong, attractive replacement for stained, misshapen or otherwise abnormal teeth. They are also utilized for the restoration of implant based crowns and bridges.
 Dental implants provide a stable base for replacement teeth that look, feel and work like natural teeth. With dental implants, a person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat and smile with confidence. Implants can replace one tooth or several missing teeth.
Dental implants are cylinders made of titanium that are surgically implanted into the jaw. The jaw bone grows around the base of the implant, while the top protrudes through the gums. Once they are secure in the jaw, the posts serve as anchors for tooth replacements such as fixed crowns and bridges and secure removable dentures.
