Dr. Nomie and Dr. Donnelly encourage open communication and are available daily to answer questions received via e-mail or voice mail. Depending on office traffic and the complexity of your questions, your dentist will try to respond within 24 hours.

What precautions do you take to ensure patient safety?

Our entire team is well trained in state-of-the-art sterilization techniques and safety measures. We wear disposable gloves and facemasks to prevent passing germs, sterilize reusable instruments in a special sanitation center, and utilize a water filtration system that provides a fresh water source for each patient.

What makes you different from any other dental practice I can visit?

As our patient, you'll be treated like an individual, not a chart or a set of teeth. Our goal is to help you obtain and maintain optimal oral health. We'll take the time to understand your dental history and needs and provide outstanding care for your unique smile. In addition, we'll educate you about preventive measures that can save you time, discomfort, and money.

I really don't like visiting the dentist. Is there something you can do to help me relax?

We understand many people experience dental anxiety. Our team has created a warm, friendly environment where you can feel safe and comfortable. We offer deluxe amenities for your enjoyment during your visit, and our dentists use nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation to soothe nerves and calm fears.

I want my front teeth to look better, but I don't want to wear braces. What do you recommend?

Dr. Donnelly and Dr. Nomie may suggest artistic bonding and contouring bonding, porcelain veneers, or Invisalign clear braces, depending on your unique case. We'd be happy to talk with you further about the treatment options that best suit your individual situation.

What is Smile Analysis?

Smile Analysis is a comprehensive evaluation of your smile's health, function, and aesthetics. Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums, and bite, as well as your facial bone structure and lip line symmetry, then suggest general and preventive, cosmetic, and/or restorative solutions to beautify your smile and create lasting oral health.
