Dr. Gabe has been trained in almost all fields of dentistry. He provides many services that would normally be done in a specialty office.

Dr. Gabe’s services include:

Gentle dental care provided in a warm, friendly setting, compete with toys and stickers. Dr. Gabe recommends a first check-up at 3 years.

 

Dr. Gabe offers a full range of orthodontic options, and works with patients to find the best solution for their lifestyle. This includes Invisalign, clear aligners that are virtually invisible and straighten your teeth without braces. He also offers conventional braces.

 

The ADA recommends regular cleanings and exams every six months. Dr. Gabe provides a full-range of dental health from x-rays to oral cancer screening.

 

Gums help protect your teeth, so Dr. Gabe keeps track of your gum health from your very first visit. He also offers deep cleanings, crown-lengthening surgeries for teeth decayed below the gum line, and bone grafting to help provide structure for an implant.

 

The best teeth are your own, but it isn’t always possible to preserve them. Dental implants are the best solution to replace teeth or support dentures by keeping them in place. The ADA says implants should last at least 20 years, but a fixed bridge lasts only 7-to-9 years.

In the past, bridges were a common way to replace missing teeth, but installing them requires damage to the enamel and dentin of adjacent teeth. Dr. Gabe recommends implants whenever possible because they allow you to keep your adjacent teeth intact, thus increasing the longevity of all your teeth.

 

Dr. Gabe recommends Lumineers because they give you a beautiful smile while preserving your own tooth structure, which is best for your long-term dental health. Some veneeers require drilling into the enamel. Not only can this be painful, it also causes irreversible damage to the tooth. If the veneeer fails, a crown is required. If the crown fails, then a root canal and special crown is required. Lumineers avoid these problems, giving you even more to smile about.

 

Keeping with Dr. Gabe’s philosophy of preserving your teeth, he prefers white fillings over the traditional silver. Although they take a little longer, and require more attention and materials on the part of the dentist, they look better and are better for the health of your teeth.

Unlike white fillings, silver fillings expand over time causing cracks in the teeth that may necessitate root canals and crowns in the future. Silver fillings also require removal of more tooth structure. The less that is removed, as with white fillings, the stronger the tooth.

 

Dr. Gabe only does the best crowns – all ceramic, all gold or porcelain fused to high-noble metal (at least 40 percent gold). He works with patients to figure out what option is best for them. A common choice is procelain fused to metal, which offers the strength of gold and the cosmetic benefit of ceramic, but Dr. Gabe offers all three high-quality choices to keep everyone smiling.

 

Dr. Gabe knows how to make dentures that not only fit well, but have the highest-quality teeth for the highest-quality smile. Dr. Gabe has many senior patients and has worked on-site at several nursing homes.

 

Dr. Gabe offers 1-hour teeth whitening, both Zoom and Sapphire systems, to make your smile as bright as it can be.

 

For teeth with damage to the nerve that is not reversible, Dr. Gabe performs root canals. Contrary to popular belief, it is not the root canal itself that is so painful. The pain comes when you need a root canal, but haven’t had it yet. Dr. Gabe can provide relief from that pain right in his office.

 

Dr. Gabe does most wisdom teeth extractions in his office, but also refers complex cases to a local oral surgeon.
