Teeth Cleaning
Professional teeth cleanings are the foundation of preventive dental care and overall wellness. Dr. Makuta and our skilled hygienists provide gentle, thorough cleanings that remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains while monitoring your oral health. Regular cleanings every six months help prevent cavities, gum disease, and systemic health issues linked to oral bacteria. We use biocompatible products and take time to educate you about proper home care techniques for optimal oral and whole-body health.
Composite Fillings
When cavities occur, we restore your teeth using mercury-free composite fillings that look natural and support your health. These tooth-colored restorations are made from biocompatible materials that bond directly to your tooth structure, preserving more of your natural tooth than traditional amalgam fillings. Composite fillings not only look great, but are BPA-free, durable enough for all teeth, and precisely matched to your tooth color for invisible repairs that protect your smile and your well-being.
Amalgam Fillings Removal
Dr. Makuta is certified in the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART protocol) by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). If you have silver amalgam fillings containing mercury, we can safely remove them using rigorous protective protocols including rubber dam isolation, external oxygen, high-volume suction, and HEPA air filtration. We replace them with biocompatible, mercury-free materials and offer detoxification support to help your body eliminate any absorbed mercury.
Pediatric Dentistry
We create positive dental experiences for children that set the foundation for lifelong oral health. Dr. Makuta provides gentle, comprehensive care for infants, children, and teens in a warm, welcoming environment. We use only mercury-free, biocompatible materials and take time to make each visit fun and educational. From first dental visits to preventive care, sealants, fluoride treatments, and early orthodontic evaluation, we partner with parents to ensure every child develops healthy teeth and positive attitudes toward dental care.
Teeth Whitening
Brighten your smile safely with our professional teeth whitening treatments. Dr. Makuta offers both in-office and take-home whitening options that effectively remove stains from coffee, tea, wine, and aging while being gentle on your teeth and gums. We use high-quality whitening systems that deliver dramatic results without sensitivity. Whether you want a quick boost before a special event or gradual whitening at home, we’ll customize a treatment plan that achieves your desired shade safely and comfortably.
Invisalign and ClearCorrect
Straighten your teeth discreetly without traditional metal braces. Dr. Makuta is a certified provider of both Invisalign and ClearCorrect clear aligner systems. These virtually invisible orthodontic treatments use custom-made, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth into proper alignment. Perfect for adults and teens, clear aligners correct crowding, spacing, and bite issues while allowing you to eat, brush, and floss normally. Achieve the straight smile you’ve always wanted comfortably and confidentially.
Dental Veneers
Transform your smile with custom porcelain veneers that look completely natural. These thin shells of biocompatible ceramic bond to your front teeth to correct discoloration, chips, gaps, misalignment, and worn enamel. Dr. Makuta combines artistic expertise with advanced materials to design veneers that complement your facial features and create the beautiful, confident smile you deserve. Veneers are stain-resistant, durable, and can address multiple cosmetic concerns simultaneously for dramatic, long-lasting results.
Dental Crowns
Restore damaged teeth with strong, natural-looking dental crowns. Dr. Makuta uses biocompatible materials including all-ceramic, zirconia, and gold crowns to protect and strengthen teeth affected by large cavities, cracks, root canals, or wear. All crowns are custom-crafted to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and function. We never use mercury-containing materials and can arrange biocompatibility testing for patients with sensitivities. Crowns provide lasting protection while supporting your whole-body health.
Dental Implants
Replace missing teeth with the most natural-looking and functional solution available. Dr. Makuta both places and restores dental implants, providing comprehensive implant care from start to finish. Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in your jawbone that serve as artificial tooth roots, topped with custom crowns that look and function like natural teeth. Implants preserve bone structure, don’t affect adjacent teeth, and with proper care can last a lifetime. Regain your complete smile and confident bite.
NanoVi Therapy
Experience cutting-edge cellular regeneration therapy that supports your body’s natural healing processes. NanoVi technology uses a specialized signal to influence the water surrounding your cells, improving protein folding and cellular function. This non-invasive therapy enhances recovery, reduces inflammation, boosts energy, and supports overall health and wellness. Dr. Makuta offers NanoVi sessions as a complementary treatment to dental procedures or as standalone wellness therapy, recognizing that optimal oral health is inseparable from whole-body vitality.
TMJ Therapy
Find relief from chronic jaw pain, headaches, and TMJ dysfunction with Dr. Makuta’s holistic approach to treatment. We address the underlying causes of temporomandibular joint disorders through custom nightguards, bite adjustment, stress management guidance, and lifestyle modifications. Dr. Makuta’s comprehensive evaluation considers how your jaw function connects to your overall health, posture, and well-being. Most patients experience significant improvement with conservative treatment, regaining comfortable jaw function and freedom from pain.
