Dental Services

All of their general dental services are provided by licensed dentists, hygienists and oral surgeons.

Services include:   

• Cleanings   
• Exams and X-Rays   
• Extractions   
• Fillings   
• Periodontal Treatment   
• Selective Restorative Care   

Please Note:       

They do not have the facilities for a general anesthetic.

Most teeth extractions are done by a group of oral surgeons that specialize in extracting teeth.

They will use a local anesthetic to numb only the area of your mouth to be worked on.        

Due to limited resources, they are unable to do any cosmetic dentistry such as teeth whitening.

Their main goal is the restoration of good dental health.
