Testimonials
I hate going to the dentist. Dr. Beyene is especially careful with me; always checking in to make sure I'm ok as she is working on me!
Nicole Alestock ★★★★★ 
Always a pleasant experience. I appreciate the promptness of each appointment start time, estimate review before the work begins, Dr. Yodi's bedside manner and follow-up phone call after each procedure.
D Smith★★★★★
I hate going to the dentist but I love Dr Beyene. She's very kind and good out of her way to make sure you're as comfortable and pain free as possible. The rest of the staff is equally kind, professional and responsive

Even if you take excellent care of your teeth and gums at home, it is still imperative to see a dentist regularly. Dr. Beyene and our team can check for problems that you may not see or feel.
How Often Should You Visit The Dentist For a Check-Up?
The standard recommendation is to visit twice a year for check-ups and cleanings. This frequency level works well for most people.
Patients with implants, crowns and some people with gum disease, a genetic predisposition for plaque build-up or cavities, or a weakened immune system might need to visit the dentist more frequently for optimal care.
Important Reasons For Twice-Yearly Visits:
What Happens At The Typical Check-Up Appointment?
- Cleaning Although home-based tooth brushing and flossing help remove plaque, only a professional cleaning – provided by the dentist or dental hygienist – can thoroughly clean your teeth and remove the hardened plaque (called calculus or tartar) that builds up on teeth. The hygienists use a series of metal hand instruments to clean your teeth.
- Polishing After your teeth have been cleaned, they are polished to remove plaque and stains on the tooth surface. The polish contains an abrasive substance and fluoride, and is applied using a small rotating rubber cup or brush attached to the dental handpiece.
- Prevention The hygienist might offer additional instructions for you to follow at home, based on the results of your exam. Don’t hesitate to ask us for instructions about brushing or flossing, or general care questions about your teeth and gums.
- DIGITAL X-RAYSÂ We use DIGITAL X-RAYS thereby exposing our patients to much less radiation than traditional x-rays. The dentist will consider your clinical examination, dental history, and risk for developing cavities in determining the frequency for x-rays.
- Treatment recommendations If any oral health problems are identified during your examination, the dentist will make recommendations for the best next steps. These might include referral to another oral health care specialist, additional diagnostic tests, or advice to return for restoration work or additional oral health care.
Our State-of-the-Art Technology
- Air Abrasion: For certain small cavities, Air Abrasion can mean NO needles and NO drills.
- DIAGNOdent: Laser Reflection allows us to find cavities on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, even when they are just beginning, and would have been missed by previous detection methods.
- THE Intra-Oral Camera: With a small camera shaped like a pen, it puts a live shot of your teeth and gums on a screen. This allows you to view your mouth exactly as the doctor sees it!
- Digital Imaging: Allows us to create images of your mouth, as if the cosmetic procedures have been completed. We can then view these images together, and if necessary modify the image until it shows us exactly what you want.
