River Pointe Dental offers a comprehensive range of general and cosmetic dentistry services for patients of all ages, from two to ninety-two. Their services include routine check-ups and cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions, crowns, bridges, full and partial dentures, and implants. They are particularly known for their advanced cosmetic dental services, such as teeth whitening (including Zoom! in-office and at-home options), porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, and smile makeovers.
A key differentiator for River Pointe Dental is their commitment to leveraging the latest dental technology to enhance patient care and comfort. This includes digital X-rays for reduced radiation exposure and instant imaging, Waterlase laser technology for pain-free procedures without traditional drills, Invisalign for clear teeth straightening, and CEREC 3D CAD/CAM technology, which allows for the creation of crowns and other restorations in a single visit. The clinic's commitment to patient comfort is evident in their relaxed atmosphere, which they aim to make as tranquil as a day spa, with features like flat-screen TVs in procedure rooms.
The practice also emphasizes a "green" approach to dentistry, utilizing sustainable materials and energy-efficient practices, such as low VOC paint, natural stone countertops, water-saving fixtures, formaldehyde-free cabinets, and LED lighting, particularly in their Huntley location which opened in 2004. River Pointe Dental has a strong focus on family care, building a sense of dental health from a young age, and maintains high standards of sterilization and techniques to prevent cross-contamination. Patients consistently praise Dr. Hardy and her team for their professionalism, caring approach, and the quality of their work, with many patients traveling significant distances to continue their care at River Pointe Dental.
