These services include general dentistry (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays), cosmetic dentistry (teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, inlays and onlays, dental crowns), and restorative dentistry (dental implants, crowns, bridges, tooth extractions, bone and tissue grafting, full mouth extractions, root canals, and dentures).

Associated Dentists is committed to utilizing state-of-the-art technology to enhance the quality and precision of their dental care. This includes high-power microscopes for intricate work, digital imaging and digital X-rays for reduced radiation exposure and clearer diagnoses, intraoral cameras for patient education and detailed imagery, and the Galileos 3D Cone Beam CT system for advanced diagnostics and treatment planning, particularly for oral surgery and implants.
