Dr Murali is an amazing dentist. She is friendly, polite and very professional. Her staff is also incredible, Marcia the hygienist has a gentle touch and explains everything. I can't say enough about my dentist.

Comprehensive family dentistry services

General & Preventive Dentistry

The best way to ensure long-term oral health is through frequent preventative care such as thorough cleanings, diagnostic X-rays, fluoride treatments, and exams. X-rays help the doctor to catch small lesions and cavities before they become bigger problems and require more extensive treatment. Fluoride treatments help remineralize enamel which in turn protects the tooth from the acid that causes tooth decay.

Cosmetic Dentistry

A smile you love is the best one of all. We offer cosmetic treatments like Invisalign, veneers, and teeth whitening. Invisalign is an incredible service that not only straightens the appearance of your teeth, but also re-aligns the bite to create more harmonious movement of the teeth and jaw. Veneers are a conservative approach to make a long term change to the shape or color of your teeth.

Restorative Dentistry

We want to make eating, speaking, and smiling a pleasurable experience for you. By using modern technology, we will help you with restorative treatments such as bridges and implants to replace missing teeth, and crowns and onlays to provide structural support.

Botox

Botox® is an FDA-approved cosmetic treatment for patients with moderate to severe facial lines, as well as chronic headaches and facial/TMJ pain.  Understanding facial anatomy is critical for proper administration and Dr. Murali is accredited by the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE) to administer this treatment. Dr. Murali would be happy to discuss how Botox can re-frame your stunning smile!

Meet Dr. Mallika Murali
