The clinic offers a comprehensive array of dental services, catering to patients of all ages, from children to adults. Their services are broadly categorized into:
Preventive Dentistry: This includes routine dental cleanings, thorough oral examinations, digital X-rays (which use significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays), oral cancer screenings, and sealants. They emphasize early detection and consistent preventive care to maintain optimal oral health.
Cosmetic Dentistry: For patients looking to enhance their smiles, the clinic provides services such as teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, and Invisalign® clear aligners. Dr. Abby Lavelle Staffieri has a particular focus on cosmetic dentistry and smile makeovers, utilizing the latest techniques.
Restorative Dentistry: This addresses issues like tooth decay, cracked or broken teeth, tooth pain, and missing or severely worn teeth. Services include composite fillings, inlays/onlays, crowns, bridges, and dental implants.
Specialized Treatments: Lavelle Family & Cosmetic Dentistry also offers specialized care, including periodontics (gum health treatment), endodontics (root canal therapy), frenectomies for tongue and lip ties (with Dr. Staffieri being a regional specialist for infants), and sleep apnea treatment with dental appliances.
Patient Comfort and Technology: The clinic is committed to providing a comfortable and efficient experience for patients. They utilize state-of-the-art technologies such as Cavitron for deep cleanings, intra-oral cameras for detailed views, panoramic and CBCT X-rays for comprehensive imaging, rotary endodontics handpieces for gentle root canal therapy, soft tissue lasers for precise and less invasive treatments, and a 3Shape Digital Scanner for accurate impressions. For anxious patients, sedation dentistry options, including inhaled sedation and oral sedation, are available.
Lavelle Family & Cosmetic Dentistry focuses on a personalized approach, developing customized treatment plans based on each patient's individual needs, goals, and priorities. They accept most popular dental insurance providers and offer financing options like CareCredit. Patient testimonials consistently highlight the professionalism, friendliness, and exceptional care provided by Dr. Lavelle, Dr. Staffieri, Dr. Armbruster, and their entire team, often noting their ability to make even anxious patients feel at ease.
