Is Dr. Gaylor accepting new general dentistry patients?

Yes. Dr. Gaylor is welcoming new patients for routine checkups, cleanings, fillings, and other general care, and you can learn what to expect on the new patients page.

Will I see Dr. Gaylor or another dentist?

You will see Dr. Gaylor. She personally performs your examination, makes your diagnosis, and provides your treatment, while her hygiene team assists with cleanings under her direction.

Do I need cosmetic work to become a patient?

No. Many patients come for preventive and general care only, and cosmetic treatment is discussed only if you are interested in it.

Does Dr. Gaylor place dental implants?

Dr. Gaylor does not surgically place implants. She restores them with crowns, bridges, or dentures after a surgical specialist places the implant, and you can see examples in the implant gallery.

Who administers IV sedation?

IV sedation is administered and monitored by an anesthesiologist, which allows Dr. Gaylor to focus entirely on your dental treatment. Learn more on the sedation dentistry page.

What should I do in a dental emergency?

Call the office for a severe toothache, a broken tooth, or a lost restoration, and see the emergency dentistry page for guidance. If you have facial swelling that spreads, a high fever, or any difficulty breathing or swallowing, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

General Dentistry

Now accepting new patients. Checkups and cleanings, tooth-colored fillings, gum disease treatment, cracked tooth repair, TMJ care, and emergency visits, with every exam performed by Dr. Gaylor.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Porcelain and no prep veneers, bonding, Invisalign, whitening, gum lifts, and smile makeovers, planned around your face and bite with the most conservative option considered first.

Restorative Dentistry

Crowns, bridges, and dentures designed around the way your bite works, plus full mouth rehabilitation for worn, damaged, or missing teeth.

Custom crowns, bridges, and dentures attached to implants. A trusted surgical specialist places the implant, and Dr. Gaylor designs and places the final restoration.

Laser Dentistry

The Fotona LightWalker laser is used for selected fillings, gum treatment, gum contouring, and snoring therapy, which can mean less drilling and gentler healing.

Oral and IV sedation for anxious patients. IV sedation is administered and monitored by an anesthesiologist while Dr. Gaylor focuses on your care.

Why Choose Dr. Gaylor

Accreditation requires passing written and oral examinations and presenting clinical cases for peer review.

Your Dentist at Every Visit

Diagnosis Before Treatment

Recommendations are based on the cause of a problem, including bite and gum health, not just its appearance.

Conservative by Design

The least invasive option that meets your goals is always considered first.

Advanced Restorative Training

Study at the LD Pankey Institute, The Dawson Academy, and the Spear Institute informs every restoration.

Built to Last

Materials and designs are chosen for durability as well as natural appearance.
