LaPointe Family Dentistry

Dr. LaPointe understands that your smile is one of your most important assets. It's often the first thing people notice about you and plays a crucial role in your confidence, self-esteem, and overall quality of life. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance.

Cavities are one of the most common dental problems Dr. LaPointe treats. The good news is that when caught early, cavities can be easily and comfortably treated with dental fillings, allowing you to preserve your natural tooth structure and maintain your oral health for years to come.

Dr. LaPointe understands that damaged, weakened, or missing teeth can significantly impact your ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. Dental crowns and bridges are proven restorative solutions that can restore both the function and appearance of your teeth.

Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining good oral health, saving time and money by stopping problems before they start, combining regular professional care with daily habits (brushing, flossing, healthy diet) to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other issues.

Non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) treats gum disease (periodontitis) by deep cleaning teeth and roots to remove bacteria, plaque, and tartar, often with scaling and root planing, to stop infection, reduce inflammation, and promote gum healing without surgery.

Tooth extractions are the removal of a tooth due to severe decay, overcrowding, infection, cracked tooth that is non-restorable or impaction. An extraction can be simple or surgical depending on the condition of the tooth that needs to be extracted.

Dr. LaPointe's goal is to create a relaxed, comfortable, and safe experience for her patients with little or no anxiety. With minimal oral conscious sedation, you will be awake, but you may feel like you slept through the entire appointment since you may have little or no memory of your visit.
