Our Dental Services

Dental Bonding

A chipped edge, a small gap, or an uneven tooth can throw off an otherwise healthy smile. Dental bonding in Tacoma uses tooth-colored composite resin, sculpted and hardened right onto the tooth, to repair and reshape in a single, conservative visit — usually with little or no enamel removed.

Porcelain Veneers

If chips, gaps, or stubborn stains keep you from smiling freely, porcelain veneers in Tacoma can help. These thin, custom-made shells bond to the front of your teeth to create a bright, natural-looking smile designed just for you.

Gum Disease Treatment (Deep Cleaning & Scaling)

Bleeding, swollen, or tender gums are early warning signs of gum disease — and they respond best when caught early. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, WA, we treat gingivitis and periodontitis with gentle, non-surgical care, including deep cleaning and scaling & root planing, to help your gums heal and stay healthy.

Dental Cleanings & Exams

Regular dental cleanings and exams are the foundation of a healthy smile, and they are the easiest way to catch small issues in Tacoma before they become big ones. At Down To Earth Dental, new patients and families are always welcome for gentle, thorough preventive care at our two Tacoma locations.

3D Imaging & Digital Scanning (CBCT)

3D CBCT imaging captures a detailed three-dimensional view of your teeth, jaw, nerves, and sinuses in a single quick scan. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, this technology helps our team plan implants, extractions, and oral surgery with remarkable precision—so treatment is more predictable, safer, and tailored to your unique anatomy.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation (Laughing Gas)

Nitrous oxide sedation—often called laughing gas—is a safe, inhaled sedative that helps you feel calm and relaxed during dental treatment. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, WA, it eases anxiety and discomfort while keeping you awake and aware, then wears off within minutes so you can usually drive yourself home afterward.

Sedation Dentistry (Oral Sedation)

Oral sedation dentistry uses a prescribed pill taken before your visit to help you feel deeply calm and drowsy while staying responsive during treatment. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, WA, it lets anxious patients complete cleanings, fillings, and oral surgery comfortably—often with little memory of the appointment afterward.

Gum Grafting

A free gingival graft (FGG) is a periodontal procedure that rebuilds a band of thick, durable gum tissue where gums have thinned or pulled back. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, WA, it can protect exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, and give teeth a stable, healthier foundation for years to come.

Frenectomy (Tongue-Tie & Lip-Tie)

A frenectomy is a quick, minor procedure that releases a tight band of tissue restricting the tongue or lip. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, WA, we perform comfortable, precise frenectomies for infants, children, and adults to improve feeding, speech, oral hygiene, and overall comfort—often in a single short visit.

Tori Removal

Tori removal is a minor oral surgery that smooths away benign bony growths in the mouth—called tori or exostoses—when they interfere with eating, speaking, denture fit, or oral hygiene. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, WA, our team removes tori using careful surgical technique and sedation options tailored to your comfort and long-term oral health.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) uses a small sample of your own blood to create a natural healing scaffold that supports tissue and bone recovery after oral surgery. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, WA, PRF can be added to extractions, implants, and grafts to encourage comfortable, more predictable healing—using nothing but your body’s own resources.

Sinus Lift Surgery

A sinus lift adds bone to the upper back jaw when the sinus sits too low or too much bone has been lost, creating a stable foundation for dental implants. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, WA, this procedure helps patients who were once told they lacked enough bone finally move forward with implant treatment.

Dental Bone Grafting

Dental bone grafting rebuilds jawbone that has been lost to missing teeth, gum disease, or injury, creating a strong foundation for implants and lasting oral health. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, this common oral-surgery procedure is planned with careful imaging and performed with comfort in mind at our two Tacoma locations.

Full-Mouth Extractions

Full-mouth extractions remove all remaining teeth in one carefully planned treatment, usually when teeth are too damaged by decay, gum disease, or infection to save. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, our team combines gentle oral surgery, sedation options, and a clear tooth-replacement plan so you can move toward a healthier, more comfortable smile with confidence.

Tooth Extractions (Simple & Surgical)

A surgical tooth extraction removes a tooth that cannot be lifted out simply—because it is impacted, broken at the gumline, or has curved roots. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, our team combines careful planning, imaging, and comfort-focused sedation options to make even complex removals calm, controlled, and straightforward.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth removal is a common oral surgery procedure that extracts the third molars when they crowd, impact, or threaten nearby teeth. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, WA, our team uses careful planning and comfort-focused sedation options to make the experience smooth, safe, and reassuringly straightforward.

Snap-In Dentures (Implant-Supported)

Snap-in dentures are implant-supported dentures that clip onto a small number of dental implants for a stable, comfortable fit. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, WA, this option can stop the slipping, sore spots, and denture adhesive that come with traditional plates — while still lifting out for easy cleaning.

Dentures & Partial Dentures

Missing several teeth or a full arch? Dentures and partial dentures from Down To Earth Dental are custom-made replacements that rebuild your bite, support your facial structure, and let you eat and speak with confidence again. Our two Tacoma locations offer both traditional and implant-supported options tailored to your mouth, comfort, and goals.

Dental Implants

Dental implants replace missing teeth from the root up, giving you a stable, natural-looking result that can last for years with proper care. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, our full-service dental and oral-surgery team plans each implant with 3D imaging so you can chew, smile, and speak with confidence again.

Root Canal Treatment

A root canal removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, relieving pain and letting you keep your natural tooth instead of extracting it. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, WA, this common restorative treatment is done with modern techniques and comfort options so you can eat, smile, and speak normally again.

Dental Crowns & Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges are custom restorations that rebuild broken, weakened, or missing teeth so you can bite, speak, and smile with confidence. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, WA, we design durable, natural-looking crowns and bridges to protect your remaining teeth and restore full function to your smile.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings repair cavities and minor damage with a tooth-shaded composite resin that bonds directly to your natural tooth—no gray metal, no dark lines at the smile. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, this everyday restoration protects the tooth while keeping your smile looking natural and whole.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening lifts years of coffee, wine, and tobacco stains to reveal a brighter, more even smile. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, WA, we tailor in-office and take-home whitening to your enamel and goals—delivering safe, dentist-supervised results that over-the-counter kits simply cannot match.

Botox (Dental & Cosmetic)

Botox in dentistry uses purified botulinum toxin to relax targeted facial muscles — easing jaw tension, teeth grinding, and TMJ discomfort, or softening fine lines for a refreshed look. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, WA, treatment is guided by clinicians who understand your bite, muscles, and facial anatomy in one place.

Clear Aligners (CandidPro)

Clear aligner orthodontics uses a series of custom, nearly invisible trays to gently move teeth into better alignment—no metal brackets or wires. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, WA, we offer CandidPro aligners as a comfortable, removable way to correct crowding, gaps, and bite issues, with treatment guided from your first visit through your final result.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry improves the color, shape, alignment, and overall appearance of your teeth using treatments like whitening, veneers, and tooth-colored bonding. At Down To Earth Dental in Tacoma, WA, our two locations help you plan a natural-looking smile with results tailored to your goals and comfort.

Emergency Dentist

A dental emergency — a knocked-out tooth, sudden severe pain, a cracked filling, or facial swelling — needs prompt, skilled care.
