Our Dental Services
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings offer a discreet solution for cavities, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth. These modern fillings restore tooth function and aesthetics without compromising your smile’s appearance.
Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of teeth to enhance their appearance. They can correct imperfections such as chips, gaps, and discoloration, providing a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is severely damaged or diseased, extraction may be necessary. Our experienced team performs safe, painless extractions and provides detailed options for replacing the extracted tooth to maintain your smile’s functionality.
Periodontal Care
Healthy gums are vital for overall oral health. Our periodontal care focuses on preventing and treating gum disease through personalized cleaning and treatment plans, ensuring your gums remain healthy and strong.
Root Canal Treatments
Root canal therapy is designed to save an infected tooth by removing the damaged pulp and sealing it. Our gentle approach minimizes discomfort and helps your tooth remain functional for years to come.
Cleanings, Exams, and Digital X-Rays
Regular cleanings and comprehensive exams are crucial for optimal oral health. Our professional cleanings eliminate plaque and tartar buildup, while state-of-the-art digital X-rays allow swift diagnosis of underlying dental issues with minimal radiation exposure.
Smile Makeovers
A smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic procedures tailored to your unique desires, helping you achieve your ideal smile. Our comprehensive approach considers all aspects of dental aesthetics for a transformative result.
Crowns & Bridges
Crowns restore the shape and strength of damaged teeth, while bridges fill gaps left by missing teeth. Both solutions effectively restore your smile and improve bite function. We also offer same-day crowns using advanced technology for efficient, high-quality restorations.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
We provide comprehensive evaluations and custom-fitted mouthpieces to treat sleep apnea. Our solutions promote better airflow during sleep, leading to improved sleep quality and overall health.
Sealants
Dental sealants act as a protective barrier on the chewing surfaces of teeth, particularly in children. By sealing out food particles and bacteria, they help prevent cavities and support long-term dental health.
General Dental Care
Every individual tooth has its own shape and set of grooves and ridges. Plaque can easily build up in these areas, and sometimes brushing and flossing aren’t always enough. Removing this plaque as soon as possible can prevent tooth decay and reduce the need for extractions, dental implants, root canals, and fillings. That’s why it’s essential to visit the dentist for a professional cleaning every six months.
At Lakes Area Dental, we’ll do more than provide a thorough cleaning of your teeth. We’ll equip you with the tools and knowledge you need to adapt a better oral hygiene regimen. Our team will show you how to brush and care for your unique smile. With our state-of-the-art equipment, we can also diagnose issues faster and provide necessary restorative treatment – all in one facility and no referrals necessary!

Laser Fillings & Treatment
We use the Waterlase iPlus® laser to treat mild to moderate cavities. After removing areas of decay with the Waterlase iPlus laser, we fill cavities with tooth-colored composite fillings – no anesthetic shots necessary!
We use diode lasers for many of our restorative and soft tissue procedures. We can also use them to treat cold sores, mouth ulcers, and canker sores.
