Schedule your appointment at our Salem dental office and be on your way to a new, beautiful smile!

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Convenience. Taking care of your family’s smiles should be stress-free. Since we two doctors and two hygienists, we’re able to care for multiple family members at the same time! We also offer early-morning teeth cleanings to fit with your busy life.
• Fluoride Treatment
• Dental Sealants
  Ask your dentist about dental sealants, protective plastic coatings that can be applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth where decay often starts.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  Veneers are thin, custom-made from tooth-colored materials, such as porcelain, designed to cover the front side of your teeth. Veneers are natural in appearance and a great option for patients who want to make adjustments to the look and feel of their smile.
• Crowns
  Drs. Shelton and Peterschmidt utilize CEREC single-appointment ceramic crown and restoration digital technology, which eliminates the need to take uncomfortable impressions and reduces treatment time to a single appointment. With the ability to restore teeth with crowns in one appointment, there is no need for a temporary crown or a second appointment to deliver a lab-made crown. You can have your crown created and placed in one day!
• Bridges

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Endodontic therapy, also known as a root canal, is a relatively painless treatment which aims at clearing infection as well as protecting the tooth from subsequent infections.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Implants are versatile. If you are only missing one tooth, one implant plus one replacement tooth will do the trick. If you are missing several teeth in a row, a few strategically placed implants can support a permanent bridge (a set of replacement teeth). Similarly, if you have lost all of your teeth, a full bridge or full denture can be permanently fixed in your mouth with a strategic number of implants.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  People are living longer than ever, and while regular brushing, flossing, and checkups allow many of us to maintain our natural smiles for a lifetime, sometimes our teeth just can't keep up. If you've lost a tooth (or a few teeth) due to injury or disease, dental implants can rejuvenate both your smile and your oral health.
