OUR SERVICES
Preventative Dentistry
Routine Exams
During these exams, our dentists will check for any signs of dental problems and provide recommendations for treatment if necessary.
Preventative Sealants
The placement of dental sealants is a painless procedure which involves your dentist bonding a plastic coating into the grooves of your tooth. The result is a smoother tooth surface, which is less likely to trap food and plaque and is easier to clean with your toothbrush.
Mouthguards
A properly fitted mouthguard, or mouth protector, is an important piece of athletic gear that can help protect athletes from some of those injuries. A mouthguard should be used during any activity that could result in a blow to the face or mouth. Mouthguards help prevent broken teeth and injuries to the lips, tongue, face or jaw
Therapeutic Dentistry
Periodontal Therapy
Both non-surgical and surgical therapies are available to treat periodontal/gum conditions such as gum disease, root recession, gummy smiles, or uneven gum lines. Initial treatment may involve the removal of plaque and tartar both above and below the gum line via a procedure known as root planing and scaling.
Extractions
Broken or extensively decayed teeth, advanced gum disease, malpositioned or non-functional teeth are all reasons for a therapeutic removal of a tooth or teeth. Sometimes teeth are pulled for orthodontic reasons (braces).
Restorative Dentistry
Implant Restoration
Implants can also be used to stabilize loose dentures and prevent additional loss of bone. The implants themselves are artificial tooth roots anchored in the gums and jawbone onto which replacement teeth are secured. Since implanted teeth are fixed in the mouth rather than being removable like dentures, they are more comfortable and more like your own teeth.
Partial and Full Dentures
Common type of restorative dentistry, dentures are a removable replacement for missing teeth and the tissues connected to those teeth. They can be made of acrylic plastic, porcelain, and some actually contain metal. Complete dentures replace all of the teeth, while partial dentures fill in the spaces created by missing teeth.
Fillings
We offer both tooth-colored fillings and traditional amalgam (“silver”) fillings. Tooth-colored fillings are made from composite resin, which provides a strong hold and custom-color match to the tooth.
Crowns & Bridges
are natural-looking covers that fit snugly over teeth to conceal cracked, badly discolored, injured, weakened or chipped teeth. Crowns minimize physical discomfort and provide support for damaged teeth
Cosmetic Dentistry
Porcelain Laminates
Designed to cover the visible surfaces of the natural teeth. They consist of a thin layer of tooth-colored porcelain which is custom-made to correct chips, misalignments, and even hide deep, unbleachable stains.
Teeth Whitening
We offer professional teeth whitening services to help our patients achieve the smile they've always wanted.

Upon entering the Army, Dr. Barber was commissioned as a Captain and attended a year-long residency in general dentistry (AEGD-1) at Fort Sill, OK before completing a tour at Camp Casey, Korea. She completed her military obligation at Fort Bragg and transitioned to civilian dentistry in 2004. She then spent 5 years as an associate at a group practice in the Fayetteville area before striking out on her own as a family dentist.
