Thank you for choosing our office for all your dental needs. Your initial oral examination will take a little more time than a regularly scheduled visit. Your first visit includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We would like to take the time to speak with you and understand your goals and desires for your dental treatment and answer any concerns you may have.
Teeth that are badly stained, shaped or crooked may be improved by a veneer placed on the surface of the affected teeth. Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic cemented over the front of your teeth to change their color or shape. Veneers are used on teeth with uneven surfaces or are chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced or crooked.
Bridges are natural-looking dental appliances that can replace a section of missing teeth. Because they are custom-made, bridges are barely noticeable and can restore the natural contour of teeth as well as the proper bite relationship between upper and lower teeth. Bridges are sometimes referred to as fixed partial dentures, because they are semi-permanent and are bonded to existing teeth or implants.
Simple toothaches can often be relieved by rinsing the mouth to clear it of debris and other matter. Sometimes, a toothache can be caused or aggravated by a piece of debris lodged between the tooth and another tooth. Avoid placing an aspirin between your tooth and gum to relieve pain, because the dissolving aspirin can actually harm your gum tissue.

I'm new to the area as of June 2020. I've had lots of Dental work in the past and so I'm the nervous type. The hygienist Kelsey was so super sweet and talked me through everything. Dr. Rutledge was even better! He talked me through our game plan and made me feel so reassured that I'd be greatly taken care of. At the end of my appointment I had to schedule my next one and Kelsey asked the receptionist to put me on her schedule. That made me feel awesome!!! I'm so glad I've chosen this clinic to be my forever dentist!!

I had my very first toothache at 45 years-old and I was given Dr. Rutledge’s name by a friend but warned that he was difficult to get into see. I called on a Monday and received an appointment just two days later on Wednesday, February 11, 2021 at 2:00pm. I was there 30 minutes before my appointment and sent a text (as requested by the office) to let them know I was there.
Jada brought out the paperwork I needed to fill out as a new patient and requested I text the office phone number when finished. She took my insurance card and driver’s license to make copies while I filled out the very
