Good dental health supports good physical health.
Because of this, we continually look for the best technology available to best serve you, like our Velscope, for early detection of oral cancer. Good nutrition not only prevents cavities but also benefits
your total well-being.
Don’t have dental insurance?
If you are a patient at Life-Centered Dentistry and have lost your dental insurance or never had dental insurance, we have developed a plan that makes keeping your teeth healthy affordable for you and your family. Learn more about our dental health savings plan.
