Cosmetic Dentistry: Teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and bonding for aesthetic improvements. Orthodontics: Invisalign for teeth straightening. Specialized Treatments: Oral cancer screenings, periodontal (gum) disease therapy, sealants (especially for children), and TMJ/TMD (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder) treatment for chronic jaw pain. Emergency Dental Treatment: Addressing traumatic dental injuries like chipped, moved, or knocked-out teeth. Dr. Roderick D.
