  • Teeth Cleaning & Gum Care

    Our Registered Dental Hygienist, Julie Fox, treats patients kindly and gently. She will check for gum disease and teach you how to properly take care of your teeth from home to prevent any problems from arising in the future.

  • Crowns & Bridges

    Crowns are placed over broken or decaying teeth to prevent more damage from occurring. Bridges help fill a gap between teeth by connecting two crowns on either side of the gap. Dental crowns and bridges help provide structure to the mouth, improve chewing and speech and prevent further decay or disease.

    • Tooth-Colored Fillings

Our tooth-colored fillings can be custom-colored to match the color of your teeth so no one will notice the difference. We can also replace your old silver fillings with modern fillings. They not only look better, but they are better for the strength of your teeth.

    • Dentures & Partial Dentures

By working with local dental technicians, Dr. Reichel creates custom full and partial dentures to fit comfortably in your mouth. He will also take measurements of your face to ensure that your dentures work just like real teeth.

  • Snoring & Sleep Apnea – Importance of Treatment

    Patients may not realize that a chronic snoring problem or sleep apnea can affect their oral and overall health. Not only can it prevent you and your family from getting restful sleep, but it can also cause diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, headaches, and even life-threatening issues like stroke and heart failure if left untreated.
