At Lighthouse Dental, during your routine cleaning appointment, you can expect comprehensive dental hygiene services designed to maintain your oral health. The visit begins with one of our skilled hygienists. X-rays may be taken as part of this evaluation, including periapical, bitewing, and cone beam or panoramic views, which provide detailed insights into your dental health. Following this, your teeth undergo a meticulous cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup, ensuring your smile stays bright and healthy. The cleaning includes polishing to smooth tooth surfaces and remove surface stains. Finally, Dr. Richey conducts a comprehensive exam, assessing your teeth and gums for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues. A fluoride treatment is then applied to strengthen your enamel and protect against cavities, ensuring each visit leaves you with a fresh, clean, and healthy smile.
At lighthouse Dental we treat patients of all ages. We offer cleanings to children as young as 2 years old. In addition to cleaning baby teeth, we often perform extractions, exposures, and do orthodontic work for young patients with baby teeth.
In our office we do composite fillings. Composite fillings are tooth-colored restorations made from a resin and glass blend, offering several advantages over amalgam (silver) fillings. They blend seamlessly with natural teeth, providing a more aesthetic solution, and bond directly to the tooth, which helps preserve more of the natural structure. Composites generally cause less sensitivity to temperature changes and allow for precise shaping, making them versatile for both visible and non-visible areas.
At Lighthouse Dental, we provide thorough dental consultations and exams using advanced x-ray technology to ensure the highest quality care. For new patients, we offer a comprehensive exam package for just $1, which includes an emergency exam, any necessary x-rays, and a detailed consultation. This exceptional offer is designed to give you a complete overview of your dental health and address any immediate concerns while introducing you to our practice.
I’ve been going here for years, they have the best hygienists and did a fantastic job with my braces!
I have gone to Dr. Richey for 20+ years. I’m now considered a “senior citizen”. In all those years I’ve received stellar service that I trust without question. Most recently I required an implant and anticipated lots of pain. His procedure was pain free and I had no complications. I trust Dr. Richey and know what he recommends is what I need to have done. A rare trait in this day and age. Thank you Dr Richey and your team
Dr. Richey and staff are all wonderful to work with and I feel very taken care of every time I go. I receive easy-to-understand explanations of everything from specific teeth issues to insurance coverage. They even replaced a retainer and the process was seamless. I recommend Lighthouse to everyone!
Dr Richey and his staff truly treat you like family. I love that you can watch a movie while you are getting your teeth cleaned/fixed. I love this office, the staff and Dr Richey are very friendly and they remember you when you come back too. I recommend everyone to go to this office if they want outstanding service and great teeth!
Dr Richey and his amazing staff were incredible. Their kindness and compassion towards me was the best. I cannot thank them enough and I highly recommended Lighthouse Dental.
Dr Richey and his staff are wonderful. Every visit is pleasant and pain free, I always feel listened to and well cared for. They catch dental problems before they start and treat everyone with so much respect and kindness. They are great to fit you in in an emergency and their prices are great. With so many options for dentists these days, I’ll gladly stick with Dr Richey for life.
We have been going to Lighthouse Dental for several years! We love that we can have our dental work, braces, and wisdom teeth taken care of all at the same place. Dr. Richey, Lori,(dental hygienist) and the staff are great! They are personable and friendly and we are happy with all of the results.
I love this doctor! He got me in quickly because I was having pain. He was quick and gentle! They worked with me doing payments plus they were less expensive than other offices and they gave me a discount because I am cash pay and don’t have I insurance. I’m so thankful for him. His staff is really sweet. They are well organized. The office is clean and bright. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Richey and staff are always pleasant to work with and try to make myself and my children comfortable. I had two kids that needed multiple teeth pulled, a scary thing for a child. They made sure they were comfortable and talked to them through out the procedure. Grateful for the talents Dr. Richey has and the kindness of his staff. Highly recommended!
