- VeneersAt Grove Dental Associates, porcelain veneers are a simple way to get nearly immediate results that will completely reshape your teeth and smile.
- CrownsDental crowns repair discoloration, cracking and chipping while strengthening your bite and enhancing the longevity of the restored tooth. The most frequently recommended crown types to choose from include ceramic, metal, or ceramic-over-metal crowns.
- BridgesA dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth and will literally bridge gaps between teeth with connected and natural–looking artificial teeth.
- Dental BondingDental bonding or resins are molded to the teeth like fillings and allow for the replacement of small and damaged tooth structure with tooth-colored material. Due to it’s natural appearance, dental bonding can also be used as an excellent cosmetic treatment option when the minor corrections and repairs do not require the use of porcelain veneers or crowns. In a single visit, a tooth that is stained, chipped, cracked, or misaligned can be transformed. Bonding also can be used to fill in small gaps between teeth or protect the sensitive root of a tooth from irritation. In the bonding procedure, we will expertly apply a thin coat of resin, which then is cured under a high-intensity light, to a natural hardness and durability. This simple cosmetic procedure can dramatically improve your smile by restoring youthfulness and beauty to your teeth.
- Restorative DentistryThey can often be alternatives to crowns and an ideal solution in treating discolored, misshapen, crowded, spaced, and worn or chipped front teeth. Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth-shaped porcelain that are custom-made by a professional dental laboratory. They are then bonded onto the front of the anterior teeth to create a beautiful picturesque smile. Our doctors at Grove Dental Associates have years of experience and many before-and-after cases to show you the life-changing effect excellent restorative dentistry can have.

- Deep CleaningGum disease can often be prevented and reversed by following your dentist’s advice for good oral hygiene habits. For more advanced cases of gum disease, Grove Dental Associates offers the professional treatment of SCRP (scaling and root planning) or LANAP. Scaling and root planning is the staple treatment for early to moderate periodontal
- DenturesPartial dentures are one of the many treatment options used when one or more teeth are missing from the jaw. Because natural teeth may tilt or drift into the empty space and or the bite force can be damaging to the remaining teeth if the bite is not evenly balanced, partial dentures are a great option for solving both issues. These partials are thus tooth-supported and retained.
- Dental ImplantsIn order to guarantee the accuracy needed, Dr. Stan Crawford often uses a 3-D scan acquired by the Sirona Galileos Scanner, to virtually place the implant before the patient comes into the office for the actual procedure. Once Dr. Crawford has virtually planned the implant surgery, a surgical guide or template is fabricated in our lab, which will then be used at the implant surgery and placement appointment. The customized guide allows the doctor to insert the implant at exactly the right angle and depth needed. Therefore, the use of the surgical guide reduces the chance of the implant failing, and aids in a faster recovery for the patient.
- Oral Surgery"When our dentist at another clinic recommended putting our 5 year old under anesthesia and having oral surgery to work on her teeth, saying otherwise they would have to have several appointments and it would be way to traumatizing any other way, I didn’t feel good about it. It just seemed to go against everything I’ve ever been taught from a bottom up approach. We contacted the Crawford’s to get their opinion. Dr. Audrey Crawford immediately put me at ease and reassured me she does really well with the little’s, and only a couple times ever has she recommended one to need to be put under anesthesia. I brought Katie in, Audrey was able to complete the work in 2 visits, and Katie now thinks of the dentist as a fun place to go where she gets to watch movies, get her nails painted, and get toys! Audrey and all the staff are so kind and provide such a relaxing peaceful experience for the kids. I’m so thankful for them all! Since then I’ve taken my 3 year old, who’s experience was just as excellent, and my 11 year old, who is now getting braces with Dr. Miller. I highly recommend Grove Dental Associates!”
- Flap SurgeryLANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) surgery is a laser periodontal therapy performed by Dr. Audrey Crawford. LANAP is used to treat the gum disease and the bone loss associated with it; LANAP is a “no-sew surgery” and is a successful alternative to conventional periodontal flap surgery.
- OrthodonticsGrove Dental Associates can provide much more than general dentistry for kids as well. Dr. Rick Miller frequently treats children between the ages of 8 and 12 that will benefit from preventative orthodontics, which intercepts mal-alignment problems before they become severe. Dr. Audrey Crawford also provides a very common frenectomy laser treatment that adjusts the muscle ligaments in the lip attachments or “tongue-tie,” that can impede a child’s speech, infant nursing, and teeth-alignment issues.

Dr. Rick has taken time over the years to explain things that he has learned that is new to the field or that he has just discovered at a training. Dr. Audrey has sat and explained, in great detail, information to our daughter on enamel concerns and more. They offer the best because they have a heart to do so and it shows. From pediatrics to braces to routine care, they have served our family faithfully and we wouldn’t dream of going elsewhere.”
