We are SO blessed at our office to have patients that are like family and have been with us since the very beginning. Don, his wife Jene, along with their two daughters, started coming to our office when we were at the Buck back in the mid 80's. Don, one of his daughters and her family are still with us today!! What an honor it was today to be a part of a wonderful celebration for Don's 100th birthday! Yup, you read that right, 100. Thank you for including us in celebrating this milestone birthday! 🎂🎉💓 (And Ericka!)

Have you noticed one tooth looking darker than the others?

There are several possible reasons:
🦷 A tooth may have experienced trauma years ago.
🦷 The nerve may no longer be healthy.
🦷 It could simply be staining.

The good news? We have options.

Depending on the cause, treatment may include:
• Testing the nerve
• Internal whitening (after root canal treatment)
• Traditional whitening
• Bonding or a crown

Don't ignore a suddenly dark tooth - it deserves a closer look. 😉
