We are out of network for all insurance policies, however, we work with many insurances and are happy to submit directly for reimbursement.

Dental Implants

Simple tasks like eating, speaking, and smiling can be a daily struggle if you have missing teeth. Dr. Delahunty can improve your quality of life and oral health with top-of-the-line dental implants. Implants act as artificial tooth roots, anchoring your prosthetic to your jawbone, and preventing future health problems like gum recession and bone loss.
Same-Day Crowns

If you have a broken, decayed, or infected tooth, a dental crown is one of the most effective ways to restore your health. Thanks to state-of-the-art CEREC technology. treatment is now easier than ever. With our in-house CEREC machine, we can craft a custom dental crown in less than an hour and repair your tooth in just one convenient appointment.
Wisdom Teeth Removal

When you don't have enough space in your mouth for your wisdom teeth to develop, they can become impacted under the gums, or overcrowd surrounding teeth. If you are experiencing complications from your wisdom teeth it is time to schedule extractions. Our dentist can also proactively remove the third molars to prevent oral health problems down the road.
Sleep Apnea Therapy

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that can affect patients of all ages. It causes you to repeatedly stop breathing while you sleep and can lead to snoring, chronic fatigue, high blood pressure, and more. If you suspect that you or someone else in your family is suffering from sleep apnea, contact our office for a consultation. We may be able to treat the condition with oral appliance therapy or other modifications to your oral structures.
