Services
Quiet, careful dentistry — from routine to transformative.
Five things, done well. Every service below starts the same way: a conversation, a proper look, and a written plan with prices before any work begins.
01
Cleanings & exams
The foundation of everything else. A Saltmeadow maintenance visit is a full hour — a proper cleaning, digital x-rays when they’re due, a gum-health check, and time to actually talk. We book so appointments run on schedule; if we say 8am, we mean 8am.
If it’s been years since your last visit, come anyway. We’ll meet your mouth where it is and build from there — no lectures, no guilt tour of everything that’s gone wrong.
Good to know
- Most PPO plans cover two cleanings a year at or near 100%.
- New patients: $129 covers the exam, x-rays, and cleaning.
- Deeper gum treatment, if needed, is always quoted in writing first.
02
Whitening
Two honest routes. In-studio whitening takes about ninety minutes and lifts most smiles several shades in one sitting — good before a wedding or a big week. Take-home trays are custom-molded and work more gradually over ten to fourteen days, with results that tend to hold longer.
Sensitive teeth aren’t a dealbreaker. We adjust concentration and wear time to your history, and we’ll tell you plainly if whitening won’t touch the kind of staining you have — some discoloration needs a different tool.
Good to know
- A cleaning first gives noticeably better, more even results.
- Crowns and fillings don't whiten — we'll flag any that would stand out.
- Expect some sensitivity for a day or two; it settles on its own.
03
Veneers
Thin, hand-finished porcelain for chips, gaps, worn edges, and stubborn discoloration. Done well, a veneer disappears — it matches the translucency of your natural enamel, not a piano key. Most cases take two to three visits over a few weeks.
Before anything is shaped, you’ll see a digital preview of the result and wear a temporary version you can live with for a few days. And if a veneer is the wrong tool — if bonding or alignment would serve you better — we’ll say so, even when it’s the cheaper answer.
Good to know
- You preview the final shape and shade before we prepare a single tooth.
- Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years with normal care.
- Per-tooth pricing is quoted in writing at your consultation.
04
Invisalign
Clear aligners that straighten teeth without brackets or wires. It starts with a digital scan — no goopy impressions — and a simulation of how your teeth will move, so you see the end before you commit to the beginning.
Most cases finish in six to eighteen months, with quick check-ins every six to eight weeks. The honest part nobody mentions: aligners only work if they’re on your teeth about twenty-two hours a day. If that sounds unrealistic for your life, we’ll tell you before you spend a dollar.
Good to know
- The scan and simulation happen at a standard consultation.
- Aligners come out for meals and coffee — no food restrictions.
- Retainers afterward are part of the plan, not a surprise add-on.
05
Same-day emergencies
In pain right now?
Call before 3pm on a weekday and we’ll see you the same day — we hold slots for exactly this. Saturday mornings we triage by phone and fit in what we can.
Call (305) 555-0163What counts as an emergency? A broken or knocked-out tooth, a severe ache that keeps you up, a lost crown or filling, swelling along the jaw. When you call, we’ll talk you through what to do in the meantime — cold compress, what to rinse with, whether the ER is the safer stop.
Good to know
- A knocked-out adult tooth can often be saved if it's reseated within the hour — call immediately.
- The emergency visit fee is quoted on the phone before you come in.
- Swelling that affects breathing or swallowing is an ER matter first — go, then call us.
Not sure which one you need?
Start with the $129 new-patient visit. We’ll look, listen, and lay out the options — and that might honestly be all you need.
