Our Dental Services

It’s unusual for dentists to offer guarantees, but Dr. Dallmann does not believe in halfway measures. She is so careful about the quality of her work and about the materials she uses in dental procedures that she offers a lifetime guarantee on her work (as long as a patient follows the recommended hygiene schedule). To keep the lifetime guarantee in effect, we ask that our patients keep the recommended visits with our hygienist within a 30 day grace period. We believe this is of utmost importance in maintaining our patients dental health for a lifetime.

Dr. Dallmann and her team provide a full range of services, from preventive care such as cleaning and oral examinations to restorative measures such as fillings and crowns. For people who want to improve the look of their teeth, we offer cosmetic treatments such as bonding, veneers and recontouring.

We treat each patient with warmth and respect, and make sure that every person understands any proposed treatments. We work with you to develop an overall dental plan that suits your needs, one that is affordable and timely.

Oral Conscious Sedation Dentistry

Are you in desperate need of dental care, but too afraid to go to the dentist? Are you facing extensive treatment which you cannot fathom without being "out"? You are not alone. For our patients who need that extra help to relax, we offer oral conscious sedation.

How it works

First, we review your medical history. If cleared by your MD, you are given a pill to take one hour prior to your dental appointment. You will need a companion to drive you to and from the dental office. The pill works quickly to create a relaxed state so you will be drowsy when you arrive. During treatment, your vital signs will be monitored while you are in a sleep-like state. You will be able to respond to any given commands or questions, but will not likely recall events while the drug is in effect. This is ideal for the dental phobic patient.

Beyond creating an optimal environment for you, sedation dentistry allows us to complete multiple treatments in one appointment. You can relax while we improve your smile.

Preventive care

Your first visit to our office and later checkups will include teeth cleaning and a complete oral examination that checks for signs of disease or decay. If periodontal disease is present—often indicated by bleeding gums--we can use non-surgical methods to treat moderate to advanced cases in our office. We’ll you keep on schedule with your dental appointments through reminder post cards, calls or letters.

  • Cleaning
  • Dental Sealants
  • Regular Checkups
  • Snoreguards
  • Nightguards

Patient Education from Caesy

Patient education is critical to prevention efforts. To make sure that you understand every aspect of your care, we encourage you to ask questions or discuss your concerns about your dental treatment. We’ll help you comprehend various dental concepts using the multi-media CAESY education system, photos, books and models.

Restorative Services

We offer a wide variety of restorative services to help you look your best. For example, Dr. Dallmann uses only tooth-colored fillings, and can provide aesthetic partials that stay in place without a metal clasp. (No silver shows when you smile.) She has taken many continuing education courses in implants and in veneers, and works only with those few labs that can meet her high standards for quality.

  • Tooth-Colored Fillings
  • Porcelain Veneers
  • Whitening (Ultradent system)
  • Bonding
  • All-Porcelain Crowns, Onlays and Inlays
  • Bridges
  • Dentures & Partial Dentures

Gum Tissue

Periodontal (gum) disease can seriously affect not only your dental health but also your overall health as well. We do a complete, thorough periodontal charting at least once a year to watch for signs of gum disease and to treat it as quickly as possible. We will provide all the necessary follow up and instruction to help you avoid periodontal surgery if possible.

  • Charting and Diagnostic Services
  • In-Office Therapy

Cosmetic Services

Sometimes just a few small changes to your smile can make a big difference in the way that you see (and are seen by) the world. In just a few visits, procedures such as bonding, veneers, crowns and recontouring can help you look and feel better without even moving teeth.

If you are an adult who needs braces, the Invisalign system can reposition your teeth in a shorter time than orthodontics usually takes without the usual telltale flash of metal in your mouth.

  • Orthodontics
  • Tooth-Colored Fillings
  • Porcelain Veneers
  • Whitening or Bleaching
  • Bonding
  • All-Porcelain Crowns, Onlays and Inlays

We are very pleased to announce that whitening and brightening your smile just got easier!

Dr. Dallmann has just upgraded to the use of Zoom! 2, a revolutionary chairside whitening system. You may have seen its predecessor, the original Zoom! on ABC's hit show Extreme Makeover.

Zoom! 2 can achieve results in 33% LESS time! In about 45 minutes you can potentially whiten your teeth eight shades! Zoom! 2 also boasts 67% Less sensitivity, a possibility with any form of teeth whitening.

Patient Comfort and Technology

Dr. Dallmann and her team want you to feel as comfortable as possible while in her care. You can relax with a massage, spend time in the office spa, or feel the warmth of a heated contour pillow under your neck. And these are just some of the comfort measures you’ll find in our office.

Dr. Dallmann employs the latest technology in her practice, including the DIAGNOdent® imaging system to find areas of decay that can’t be found with more traditional diagnostic techniques. The sooner the problem area is identified, the sooner it can be treated. In many cases, cavities found with the DIAGNOdent system can be cleaned and filled without the patient needing anesthesia.
