Make an appointment in our office in Elmira, NY, for your routine dental care.

Pediatric Dentistry

Bring your child with you to your regular dental visit, so they become comfortable with us. Their first “official” visit should be between the ages of two and three. Children’s dental treatment may include fluoride and sealants.

Dental Implants

When you’re missing a tooth, the teeth next to the gap tend to drift into the space, causing issues with bite, speech, and more. A dental implant is a replacement tooth that is permanently attached to the jaw. It looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth!

Cosmetic Dentistry

Does your smile leave something to be desired? If your teeth are stained, crooked, chipped, or misaligned, our cosmetic dentistry services can help. Call 607-734-2045 or discuss your smile goals with us at your routine dental exam.

Endodontics

If decay and infection reach the pulp and nerves of the tooth root, we will need to perform a root canal. During this procedure, we clean out the infected area, clean it, and fill it with antibacterial material. In some cases, we will place a crown over the tooth to provide structural integrity.

Invisalign

Want to straighten your teeth but don’t like the look of braces? Invisalign straightens teeth through the use of a series of clear aligners. Wear each set for about two weeks and then start the next ones. No brackets; no wires. No one will notice you’re wearing aligners!

Periodontics

Gum disease can cause pain, bleeding, tooth loss, and other dental problems. Studies have shown that gum disease is linked to heart disease and other illnesses. We offer treatment and education for appropriate care of your gums.

Sleep Apnea

If you or a loved one is prone to snoring, it may be due to a condition called obstructive sleep apnea. Dr. Dunn is knowledgeable and qualified to help. Contact us for more information.

Premedication

Premedication with an antibiotic prior to dental treatment is sometimes necessary for a number of medical conditions including heart, joint replacements (knee, hip, shoulder, etc) implants (breast, etc), some types of chemotherapy treatments for cancer to name a few. These regimens are always changing.

It is very important to keep us updated on “any changes” in your health history so that we may provide the best and safest care for you.
