Glowing Reviews From Happy Patients
What a wonderful dental practice! I’ve never received such amazing and personal care at a dentist office and/or most other medical offices. This team works well together and is happy to let you know as many details as you’re interested in knowing about what’s going on in your mouth. Everyone is on the ball, responsive, and just a pleasure to chat with! I rarely post reviews and found myself asking where I can do so for this office due to the high level of service I received. Thank you everyone and I look forward to my next cleaning ;)

Everything about your problem or how your goals can be met is explained clearly and effectively. Her equipment is state-if-the-art. She is very highly regarded in her field. If you love your teeth, Dr. Lerch will keep the love affair alive. If you hate them, she will find a way for you to love them. Not bad, eh?

Teeth Whitening
Achieve a dazzling smile with our professional teeth whitening services. We use the Philips Zoom!® whitening system to eliminate years of surface staining. Many patients see an improvement of several shades in just one hour-long appointment. We also offer professional-grade at-home kits that can comfortably whiten your smile when worn overnight or for just a few hours a day.
Veneers
Our IPS e.max® veneers can mask cracks, stains, small gaps, and more. This premier material possesses the same translucent qualities as natural teeth, providing incredibly lifelike cosmetic enhancement. Your custom veneers will be ultra-thin, allowing you to speak, chew, and smile with complete comfort.
Laser Gum Contouring
Our laser gum contouring services are a virtually painless way to balance and straighten your gumline. If you feel your teeth appear disproportionately small due to a "gummy smile," this treatment can safely and effectively remove excess gum tissue and refocus attention on your beautiful smile, not your gums.
Invisalign
The Invisalign system is a popular alternative to traditional orthodontics for patients who want to correct mild-to-moderate misalignment. These clear plastic aligners gradually straighten your smile with a level of comfort and subtlety that bulky metal braces cannot provide. If you have more complex misalignment, Dr. Lerch can refer you to a qualified orthodontist for effective treatment.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns can be used to enhance the appearance of decayed and damaged teeth or otherwise healthy teeth that are misshapen or discolored. Our top-quality zirconia and IPS e.max crowns are custom-made at a trusted lab that can precisely color-match your crowns to the rest of your smile for a beautiful, seamless look.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the definitive restorative solution for missing teeth and the only treatment that can prevent jawbone recession after tooth loss. We work with a skilled dental implant specialist who can place implant posts that support gorgeous, lifelike crowns, bridges, or dentures that look and feel just like your natural teeth.
These treatments can be combined with many other restorative and cosmetic dentistry services to further enhance the look and function of your smile. Explore our dental services page for more information.
Making Your New Smile Affordable

View on GoogleI've never felt so at home at a dentist office. Very clean facility with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Dung, the dental hygienist was a pleasure to talk with, and she did a great and thorough job cleaning my teeth. It was very easy to get a prompt appointment.
