I love meeting people and look forward to making you feel at home in our practice.

From toddlers to the elderly, our skilled dental team is familiar with the unique needs of every patient, no matter their age. Our goal is to develop great oral habits for all our patients that will last them a lifetime.

Cosmetic dentistry is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your appearance. A beautiful, bright, healthy smile can increase self confidence and overall life satisfaction.

Many regular dental treatments can be performed using porcelain and composite materials instead of metal. Modern tooth-colored restorations are virtually invisible compared to traditional silver or gold. We offer smile-whitening, porcelain veneers, tooth-colored crowns and fillings and more to patients looking to brighten up their smiles.

Dental implants with artificial teeth are the closest thing to regrowing your natural teeth. They are strong, stable, durable and virtually undetectable. By filling gaps left by missing teeth, implants can provide better chewing ability and head off jaw joint problems. They are far superior to removable dentures.

CEREC® is the world's only system for the fabrication of all ceramic dental restorations in one office visit. With CEREC®, Dr. Kutsch can complete your permanent, all ceramic crown, onlay, or veneer in just one quick visit! This means fewer shots, less drilling, and less time out of your hectic schedule for dental care.

A porcelain laminate (or veneer) is a thin shell of porcelain that covers the front of each tooth. They bond directly to the front of the tooth, similar to the way artificial fingernails work. Each porcelain laminate is a work of art, carefully crafted in a laboratory to fit your individual smile.

Recent findings have shown that sometimes good oral hygiene isn't enough to stop cavities. Tooth decay is caused by a bacterial infection known as dental caries. Acids from sugars, foods, or medications can cause an oral environment at risk for cavities that can be measured with new PH detecting technology known as CariFree.

Dr. Kutsch promotes long-term dental health as an alternative to simply treating signs and symptoms by filling cavities. Dr. Kutsch can perform a quick, painless one-minute screening to determine your risk for cavities. If harmful decay-causing bacteria are identified, treatment of this infection may be recommended.

Dr. Carson Kutsch creates "cosmetic makeovers" for patients with dentures. Patients experience the same "WOW!" effect as our patients who have had expensive full mouth cosmetic makeovers. In fact, with our modern techniques and materials, no one even has to know that you even wear dentures.

Having healthy teeth is part of the key to having a healthy body. Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is found in some form in 3 out of 4 Americans with 30% of those cases being more severe. The bacteria in the mouth can enter the rest of the body through saliva, the blood stream and aspiration into the lungs. Thus, increasing risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, abnormal birth weights, diabetes and kidney problems.

In our dental practice, we treat periodontal disease and our hygienists are trained in providing laser bacterial reduction. This procedure helps eliminate bacteria from the gum tissue surrounding the teeth, thereby, helping increase healing and decrease risk of more significant medical problems.

Sedation Dentistry, sometimes referred to as Sleep Dentistry, provides a safe, effective way to alleviate dental anxiety and provide patients with the treatment they need.

Dr. Kutsch believes his job is to make all of his patients as comfortable as possible, both physically and emotionally, which means his entire team goes to great lengths to show that they genuinely care about every patient they treat.

VELscope® is a revolutionary hand-held device that provides Dr. Kutsch with the ability to detect oral cancer and other abnormalities before they are visible with the naked eye.

This non-invasive device works by emitting a harmless blue light that allows Dr. Kutsch to view the different fluorescence responses to help differentiate between normal and abnormal tissue. In fact, VELscope is the only non-invasive adjunctive device clinically proven to help discover oral disease.

When utilized along with normal routine care, VELscope provides a level of prevention previously unavailable. Dr. Kutsch is proud to offer oral cancer screening with every appointment at no additional fee.

A comprehensive approach to gum disease treatment, Perio Protect combines dental cleanings with the comfortable Perio Tray® delivery of medication that patients use at home between office visits. The Perio Tray is similar to a mouth-guard, but it has a special sealing system to deliver medication below the gums. You put medication in the tray and wear it for a few minutes a day. The medication fights the infections. It’s that easy.
