Preserving Your Natural Smile for Life
Your smile is an important asset both personally and professionally, and our team here at the Center for Advanced Dentistry understands this, so we’re here to offer the protection you deserve.

Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
Routine preventive dental care is essential. Without it, underlying oral health issues are given plenty of time to worsen to the point where they’ll require complex treatment. This is why you should come to see us twice a year for a dental checkup and cleaning. We’ll closely look for signs of cavities, gum disease, and other issues, and give your teeth a thorough cleaning and polish. Every checkup also includes an oral cancer screening, in which we’ll carefully inspect your oral structures for signs of cancer.
Family Dentistry
We understand that life can sometimes get busy, and it’s not always easy to coordinate dental care for your whole family. That’s why we’re pleased to have an accomplished general dentist on staff, Dr. Peréz, so we can treat patients of all ages. Whether it’s a routine checkup and cleaning or comprehensive treatment, rest assured that you and everyone you care about can receive the oral care they need under one roof.

Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards
Many of us like to stay active, either through sports or exercise. Unfortunately, this also comes with a risk, and it’s possible to trip, fall, or sustain a blow to the face that results in a dental emergency. To prevent this, we recommend that you ask us about a custom-made athletic mouthguard. These are designed to fit your smile comfortably and provide a greater level of protection compared to anything you’ll find in stores or online.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Bruxism is characterized by teeth grinding and jaw clenching, and since it often occurs at night or goes unnoticed, it can be tough to manage on your own. It can wear down your enamel, chip or crack your teeth, and trigger painful jaw problems that lead to a laundry list of other issues. To minimize its impact, we can provide you with a custom-made nightguard that reduces the strain placed on your mouth.
Lip & Tongue-Tie Treatment
Lip and tongue ties can create all sorts of issues for breastfeeding mothers and infants, and they can also lead to complications later in life, including impaired speech. Fortunately, these conditions can be easily addressed. Using our special soft tissue laser, we can gently reshape the connective oral tissue between the tongue and lips as needed, quickly and safely restoring someone’s oral function no matter their age.
TMJ Treatment
The joints that connect your jaw to your skull, called the TMJ (temporomandibular joints) are important since they grant your mouth an impressive range of motion. That said, they are also fairly intricate and susceptible to various problems that can cause discomfort and negatively impact your quality of life. Dr. Lim and our team can diagnose these types of issues and provide you with customized treatment to remove imbalances that can create chronic pain (including persistent migraines).
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Sleep apnea is a condition that robs millions of people of their sleep each night—and what’s worse is that most cases remain undiagnosed and untreated. We understand the life-changing impact that this condition can have, which is why we’re pleased to offer assistance. We can organize for patients to have a sleep test completed and provide a customized oral appliance to be worn at night that prevents the breathing interruptions that lead to low-quality rest and daytime exhaustion.
