Comprehensive Dentistry
General dentistry involves the diagnosis, treatment, and maintenance of general conditions and problems affecting the teeth, gums, and jaw. Preventive measures are fundamental to general dentistry because diagnosing and treating problems early can keep them from growing larger and more painful. Keeping up with your oral health can not only improve your overall health—it can also significantly reduce the amount of money that you’ll need to spend on dental treatment later in life.
Dr. Lounsberry will develop a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve and maintain your optimal oral health, including general dentistry services as well as restorative and cosmetic procedures. We offer comprehensive dental services, so there’s something for everyone’s smile at our office!

Advanced Dental Technologies We Utilize:
Intraoral Camera
With our intraoral camera, we can give you a tour of your mouth, live on a TV screen! We also use the intraoral camera to guide you through your diagnosis and treatment options, keeping you at the center of your treatment plans. We want you to feel informed at every step of the way, so you can make smart choices for your smile.
Digital X-rays
Digital x-rays are a fast and comfortable way for us to accurately diagnose your oral health needs. They emit up to 70% less radiation than conventional x-rays and require no chemical processing, so they’re easy on you and on the environment.
Laser-Assisted Cavity Detection
Identifying and filling cavities is one of the most important services we provide for our patients, so we use Diagnodent laser technology. The Diagnodent precisely detects decay in its early stages, often before it can be recognized by other means, which allows Dr. Lounsberry to place fillings that are smaller and simpler. Minimally invasive filling procedures also enable us to preserve more of your natural tooth.
Professional Teeth Whitening
In addition to giving you the benefit of a cleaner looking and more attractive smile, whiter teeth can also enhance your confidence and self-esteem. A brighter smile can even lead to healthier teeth because when your teeth look better, you tend to take better care of them to keep them looking great. With custom take home kits and Zoom!™ one-visit bleaching, we’re sure to have a professional whitening method that’s right for you. Ask us about your options at your next visit!
Porcelain Veneers
If your teeth are chipped, uneven, or too discolored for traditional whitening, veneers are small inventions that could make a BIG difference in your smile! Veneers are thin sheets of durable composite material that are bonded to the front side of your teeth to give them a brighter and more uniform appearance. Drs. Lounsberry and Koen custom design your smile, so your veneers will look and feel like natural, healthy teeth. Call today to discover how you could be as few as two visits away from the smile of your dreams!
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Because composite fillings can be bonded to teeth, they allow for more conservative preparations. When less tooth structure is removed, Drs. Lounsberry and Koen can create smoother, more natural looking fillings than amalgam (silver) fillings. The tooth-colored material is cured with an intense light and the surface is shaped and polished to match the rest of your tooth, rendering the final restoration smooth and virtually undetectable to the eye.
Invisalign®
If you think clear and removable braces sound perfect, a straight smile could be yours soon with Invisalign®. A series of clear Aligners® noticeably straightens your teeth without the noticeable bars and brackets of metal braces. The Aligners are changed approximately every two weeks to straighten your teeth step by step, and as an added convenience, they can be taken out while you eat and brush your teeth. Call today to schedule your Invisalign consultation.
Restorative Dental Implants
Many of the millions of people who are missing teeth struggle with ill-fitting, uncomfortable dentures or partials with false teeth. If you know what this feels like and are ready for a solution, our doctors are giving smiles a second chance with dental implants. Implants are effective in stabilizing dentures to fit better, feel better, look better, and chew better, which can resolve the practical and social problems often associated with dentures. Healthy dental implants preclude cavities in restored teeth and even prevent bone loss.
Dental implants have also become standard of care for single or multiple tooth replacement over the traditional fixed bridge or removable partial. Treatment is more conservative, less invasive, and more predictable. Call us to find out more about how this superb option in restorative dentistry could change your life.
Drug-Free Headache Prevention
Do you suffer from chronic migraine or tension headaches? The pain you feel during the day could actually be caused by teeth grinding or jaw clenching that occurs while you sleep. Our team can help you find long-lasting pain relief without prescription medication by constructing a small, simple device that you wear while you sleep. This custom made mouthpiece fits over your front teeth and prevents the muscle contractions commonly associated with headaches, allowing your jaw to relax and you to get a good night’s sleep. For more information on this device (NTI), visit www.HeadachePrevention.com.
For Your Comfort
Because every aspect of your dental experience is important to us, we have a number of amenities to make our office feel more like home. We have TVs, headphones, blankets, and pillows in all of our treatment rooms to keep you comfortable and entertained throughout your visit. You might even forget you’re at the dentist!
