What services do you offer?

As a health-centered practice, Aesthetics & Family Dentistry of Wellington believes that by caring for your oral health, you will also be caring for your overall health.

Family Dentistry — We see children as young as two years old and treat patients well into their nineties. All treatment is done in a caring environment.

Preventive Care and Periodontal Therapy — Recent studies suggest that there is a connection between gum disease and other health problems such as heart disease, artery blockages, and stroke. With prevention and early detection of oral diseases, such as decay and gum disease, we will be able to help you maintain a healthy smile and lifestyle.

Cosmetic Treatments — Enjoy beautiful porcelain veneers, minimally invasive aesthetic bonding, and teeth whitening to boost your appearance.

Implant Restoration — Replace single or multiple teeth with an implant supported bridge or crown. Or, opt for a secure implant-supported denture for improved comfort and efficient chewing.

Sleep Apnea — Oral devices can help with snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea.

State of the Art Technology — From air abrasion for drill-free fillings to DentalVibe (a device used to decrease the sensation of pain caused by an injection), we’ve not left out a single detail when it comes to an efficient and gentle experience for our patients.

Emergency Patients — You are always welcome and will be seen the same day for fast pain relief. Call us anytime!
