FAMILY & PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY

Routine visits and preventive dentistry are the best way for you and your family to maintain optimal oral health and minimize your need for more costly restorative treatment. This is not a new concept, but something we truly believe in.

We are here to educate you on ways to prevent future problems and aim to provide you with an unparalleled experience that gets you excited to visit us every 6 months.

TRANSFORMATIVE COSMETICS & WHITENING

Your smile is one of the first things others notice about you. Research shows that your smile has a significant impact on self-confidence, as well as personal and professional opportunities.

We offer a wide range of cosmetic treatments, from porcelain veneers to Kor Whitening. If you are not completely happy with your smile, give us a call to find out how we can help.

SEDATION
DENTISTRY

We want everyone to have a positive experience in our office, and managing varying levels of dental anxiety is an important part of that.

If you have significant dental anxiety, you may benefit from sedation dentistry. We offer a wide variety of sedation options in our office, from nitrous oxide to general anesthesia.

WE LOVE OUR PATIENTS!

(thankfully, the feeling is mutual)

"Dr. Thompson is the best!! He is super friendly and compassionate. My crown fell off and I couldn't get into any other office at the time and Dr. Thompson got me in and fixed me up quickly. You could tell that he really cares about his patients! I would highly recommend his office! Thank you Dr. Thompson!"

We had a dental emergency, on Memorial Day I called 26 different dentist offices that claimed to be an emergency dentist. I called 21st Century Dental and they called me back within a couple of hours, on Memorial Day while he was on vacation out of state with his wife..... if that doesn't say something about this dentist office and taking care of it patients i don't know what does!!!
