We're Passionate About Dentistry
How Can We Help You?
Need care for the whole family?
You and your family can expect the best possible care using the latest technology and timing treatments appropriately to avoid additional care in the future.
Are your teeth crowded or does your bite feel off?
Clear aligner therapy, or Invisalign, is the perfect way to straighten teeth and improve your bite and oral hygiene.
Do you wish your teeth looked less dull or yellow?
Kör whitening is the most effective system to remove deep tooth stains painlessly and can be done in the office or at home.
Do you have sleep apnea or struggle with your CPAP?
A dental sleep appliance may bring relief if you struggle with breathing in your sleep (Sleep Disordered Breathing) or Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Need a *gentle* cleaning?
You will love our AIR FLOW cleaning system. This technology uses warm water and soft particles to gently remove stains and buildup. Patients rave about the comfort and ease compared to traditional cleaning methods.
Do you have a broken tooth or cavity?
Drs Donohue and Ellis can see you quickly for treatment and discuss all your options. They are committed to restoring your tooth back to its original form and to make it as natural and comfortable as possible. These are the hallmarks of their care.
Can you address my gum issues?
Holistic care to address periodontal disease can be performed in our office, such as deep cleanings, maintenance and locally placing medicine around the gums. More invasive treatments can be done with our recommended periodontal specialists.
Do you take emergencies?
Absolutely! Your emergency is our priority. You will be seen in a timely manner, diagnosed and treatment will be given or recommended, depending on your situation.
Can you help me replace a missing tooth?
Depending of your situation, a missing tooth can be replaced. If you are missing several teeth or even a full arch of teeth, we can provide options, including replacement with implants.
Superior hygiene care and screenings lead to better oral health and boosts your quality of life.
AIR FLOW cleanings are performed at Sunshine Dentists, which is a more effective and gentler style of dental cleaning using warm water and soft particles to gently remove stains.
3D wellness scans, screening our patients for oral cancer, and watching for signs of obstructive sleep apnea are all regularly performed with our patient’s overall health in mind.
Curious to See Your Future Smile?
Take a Test Drive with Digital Smile Design
Digital Smile Design is an innovative way to preview (and collaborate) to create the smile of your dreams.
Through a Smile Test Drive, our doctors can introduce you to a custom-created smile design that is made just for you and your facial features.
Patients wear their new smile and preview it. After approval, treatment follows the same design, and with the use of guides and precision master ceramists, you can be sure that the outcome is exactly what you expected.
Life changing dentistry created with facial driven advanced technology—cosmetic dentistry has never been more natural looking and predictable.
