Our Services

Dr. Hellwig is a Master of the Academy of General Dentistry, a superior recognition in the field of dentistry. He specializes in creating personalized care plans to improve his patients' oral health and meet their goals. As a part of his general dental care offerings, Dr. Hellwig focuses on what he calls "antimicrobial warfare." This phrase describes a wide range of preventive care treatments, such as anti-bacterial rinses, laser therapy, and more. By controlling and regulating the bacteria that exist within your mouth, Dr. Hellwig can greatly reduce your proclivity for decay and gum disease.

For patients who are in need of restorative care, Dr. Hellwig both places and restores a range of types of dental implants. He works closely with a long-time dental laboratory partner to create customized, natural-looking dental crowns, bridges, and dentures that restore smiles' functionality and appearance.

Some patients elect to have cosmetic treatments performed to improve their appearance and boost their confidence. Dr. Hellwig and his team can provide several options to patients, helping them understand what they can expect from each. From Six Month Smiles® to full mouth restorations and everything in between. Patients can feel confident in Dr. Hellwig's artistic ability and technical expertise. 

For both restorative and cosmetic treatments, Dr. Hellwig strives to ensure a patient will be pleased with their final results. 

Relax During Your Treatment

Although he is very precise and able to perform most treatments using local anesthesia alone, Dr. Hellwig provides sedation options to his patients. To ensure your ultimate comfort, patients can elect to receive oral conscious sedation, nitrous oxide inhalation, or intravenous (IV) sedation. If you struggle with dental anxiety or phobia, dental sedation can make the difference between you receiving or not receiving care you truly want and need.
