About Us
Moresmiles Dental Core Values
High Standards
A standard of excellence in personalized dental care enables us to provide the quality dental services our patients deserve. We provide comprehensive treatment planning and use restorative and cosmetic dentistry to achieve your optimal dental health. Should a dental emergency occur, we make every effort to see and care for you as soon as possible.
Education & Prevention
As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. We strive to provide “dental health care” vs. “disease care”. That’s why we focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary. We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we’re also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.
Uncompromising Safety
Infection control in our office is also very important to us. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

As your dental health professionals, we want you to be confident knowing that we are a team of highly trained and skilled clinicians. We pride ourselves in providing the care you need to keep your smile healthy. To give you the best possible service and results, we are committed to continual education and learning. We attend dental lectures, meetings, and dental conventions to stay informed of new techniques, the latest products, and the newest equipment that a modern dental office can utilize to provide state-of-the-art dental care. Also, being members of various professional dental associations helps us to stay abreast of the changes and recommendations for our profession.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take my insurance?
How often do I need to see the dentist?
There are many conditions that could warrant a recommendation for more frequent visits to your dentist. However, a patient with good oral health should still visit the dentist at least twice a year. Seeing your dentist every six months will help you maintain healthy teeth and tissues and will also allow for early detection of any conditions if they are developing.
Do I really need x-rays? Are they safe?
While we use the latest technology and principles to make sure to limit your exposure as much as possible, we understand that radiation exposure is a concern for many patients. X- rays are in invaluable tool to help us diagnose and treat dental disease. Just as a mechanic cannot fix your car without looking under the hood, your dentist cannot diagnose may issues without x-rays. We assure you that your radiation dose is safe. One set of bitewing radiographs is less exposure than you receive from background radiation everyday. We will always remain current with the latest recommendations and developments to assure your safety in our office.
What kind of toothpaste should I be using?
Always remember to use an electric toothbrush or manual toothbrush with soft bristles.
Does dental treatment hurt?

What is periodontal disease?
Many patients come in with concerns about bleeding or receding gums. Bacteria reside in plaque on your teeth. Consistent plaque buildup can lead to inflammation and bleeding of the gums. This is a condition called gingivitis. Luckily, gingivitis is reversible with a cleaning and improved home care. When this plaque is not removed properly it can harden and form tartar. Tartar cannot be brushed off of your teeth and needs to be removed by a dental professional. When not treated, this tartar can cause gingivitis to progress to periodontal disease which involves the loss of bone and eventual loosening of teeth. Our dentist can prescribe the best cleaning for you to prevent or treat these types of problems.
Why do I have to fix my teeth if they do not hurt?
Dental conditions often do not cause pain until they are very advanced. Treating your conditions at an early stage can help prevent pain and the need more extensive (and expensive!) dental treatments. Dental conditions such as cavities are progressive. When they are recognized early, a simple filling may stop the issue. When they progress to the point that they cause pain, more invasive treatment such as root canals and crowns are sometimes needed to correct the more severe problem.
