Our Services

At Cedar Drive Family Dentistry, we offer a wide range of dental services designed to meet all your oral health needs. Our services include:

• Routine Exams: Routine exams and digital images are done at least once a year. We take pride in preventive dentistry and our detailed exams. It is during these exams that you will be able to speak with Dr. Buchanan about any dental questions or concerns you may have.
• Dental Hygiene: A normal dental hygiene visit is recommended every six months. Our hygienist, Kim, does a great job making sure your cleanings are customized to fit your lifestyle and dental needs. She is gentle and truly cares for our patients and their oral health.
• Dental Fillings: Using the top of the line materials, we strive to give our patients the most natural looking fillings as possible. All of our fillings, unless requested otherwise, are tooth colored and some can be done using technology that does not require the use of a dental drill.
• Dental Prosthetics: When dental prosthetics are needed, we work with a local lab to ensure you get fast and quality work. Dental prosthetics include things like: dentures, partials, bridges, veneers, implants, and inlays/onlays.
• Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure we offer to enhance the whiteness of your smile. If you would like a brighter smile, teeth whitening may be for you! Custom trays are made, and in the privacy of your own home, you can use our professional-grade bleaching agent to achieve the best results.
