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. Klopenstine and our team 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:
Digital Technology
Digital x-rays are a fast and comfortable way for us to accurately diagnose your oral health needs. They emit up to 90% less radiation than conventional x-rays and require no chemical processing, so they’re easy on you and on the environment.
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.
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. Ask us about our custom take home bleaching kits at your next visit, and experience professional-strength whitening in the comfort and convenience of your own home.
Lumineers® System Veneers
If you're ready for a life changing smile makeover but are worried that your teeth are hopelessly chipped, cracked, or discolored, Dr. Klopenstine has an easy solution. Lumineers® are a comfortable, conservative option in cosmetic dentistry that can give you the radiant smile you've always wanted in as few as two or three appointments. Lumineers are thin sheets of porcelain that are bonded permanently to the front of your teeth. They require minimal preparation, which most often means no shots, and they look and feel like natural, beautiful teeth!
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 retainers with false teeth. If you know what this feels like and are ready for a solution, Dr. Klopenstine can give your smile 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. Dental implants preclude cavities in restored teeth, reduce your risk of needing a root canal, and healthy implants can even prevent bone loss.
Dental implants can also be used in some crown and bridge applications, as well as single-tooth replacements. Call us to find out more about how this superb option in restorative dentistry could change your life.
Relief for TMJ/TMD
If you suffer from chronic headaches or jaw pain, your TMJ could be the culprit. A misaligned temporomandibular joint can compromise the function and flexibility your jaw, create an uneven bite, and worst of all, cause severe pain. Other common symptoms of TMJ disorder (TMD) include earaches, pain or sensitivity in the teeth, and persistent clicking or locking of the jaw. Dr. Klopenstine and our team can determine the cause of your TMJ pain, and with a wide variety of conservative treatment options, we can help you find long-lasting relief. Ask us about your options at your next visit.
Isolite System
Happy patients spend less time in the dental chair with more comfort, which is why we use the Isolite® System. This system has a soft and flexible mouthpiece that not only protects your tongue and cheek during procedures, but even allows you to rest your jaw while we do all the work. It also has a light to illuminate your mouth from the inside, making treatments shadowless and more efficient. The Isolite even eliminates the need for cotton rolls and rinse breaks!
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 offer complimentary refreshments and internet access in our reception area, TVs and blankets in our treatment rooms to keep you comfortable and entertained, and hot scented towels to sooth your cheeks after your appointment. You might even forget you’re at the dentist!
