General Dentistry [Continuos Dental Care]

The best way to protect your smile and avoid costly treatment is through pre- vention. To support you in maintaining your oral health and appearance, a regimen of careful cleaning and an examination is incorporated into your preventive appointments. Regular hygiene appointments include:

Thorough cleaning & flossing

Full-mouth dental and periodontal (gum) exam

Oral cancer screening

Periodic X-Rays to detect decay, bone loss 
or tumors
Individual care consultations


Periodontal Therapy [Gum Treatment]

Dr. Andrews provides a full-range of services that support your goals for a confident, beautiful, healthy smile. In addition to regular preventive care, mercury-free fillings, extractions, sealants and fluoride treatments are provided as needed.

Sore, bleeding gums indicate the beginning of Periodontal Disease. If left untreated, discomfort, bad breath, and eventual tooth loss will result. Extensive research has detected a link between gum disease and heart disease, low birth weight babies, stroke, and diabetes. If indication of gum disease exists, Dr. Andrews offers a non-surgical treatment for various stages of gum disease.


Endodontics [Root Canals]

Occasionally, a tooth’s nerve chamber develops infection, requiring a root canal to save the tooth. This treatment cleans the infected chamber and repairs the damage to maintain a healthy tooth.

Dr. Andrews is skilled in the latest endodontic techniques. These require less time and are more comfortable than former methods.

High fear or very sensitive teeth

Once you arrive, you will be made comfortable in a treatment chair and be covered with a warm blanket. Your vital signs will be monitored. After you are completely relaxed, our experienced team will care for your dental needs. When your treatment is completed, your companion will return you home.


Advanced Technology

Dr. James Andrews now utilizes advanced technology of CEREC 3 to create in-office dental restorations. With traditional crowns and inlays, an additional appointment is required to place the restoration made by a dental lab. CEREC 3 creates an exceptional quality look and feel during the patient’s visit; eliminating the need for temporaries and reducing numbing requirements by fifty percent.

CEREC, an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, features the latest in computerization and uses a 3-D infrared camera to calculate precision dimensions of height, width and depth for the prepared tooth. CEREC 3 technology also minimizes treatment time for patients while providing appealing, durable crowns and inlays with a natural look and feel.
