Products & Services
Emergency Dental Care
read moreOur emergency dentistry service is designed to address painful dental problems without unnecessary delay. We evaluate the affected tooth with an examination and X-ray, then provide targeted treatment such as a root canal, extraction, crown, filling, or bonding. Emergency appointments are available, including after-hours care by appointment, with anesthesia and sedation options available to support patient comfort.
Teeth Extraction
read moreWe provide gentle teeth extraction when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to save, including cases involving gum disease, impacted wisdom teeth, or persistent pain. Dr. Gleave carefully evaluates each tooth and performs removal with comfort in mind. After treatment, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and may recommend medication to ease discomfort.
Root Canal
read moreWe provide root canal treatment to remove infection from inside a damaged tooth, relieve pain, and preserve the natural tooth. Our process includes gentle numbing, removal of infected pulp, thorough cleaning and sealing, followed by a filling and usually a crown. Modern techniques and sedation options help keep treatment comfortable throughout.
Teeth Cleaning
read moreOur Teeth Cleaning (Prophy) service provides a gentle, professional way to remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing cannot reach. We carefully clean along and below the gumline, then polish your teeth for a smooth finish. Regular cleanings support healthier gums, fresher breath, and a brighter smile while helping identify concerns early.
Dental Implants
read moreOur dental implant services are designed to restore missing teeth with stable, natural-looking results while supporting improved speech, eating, oral health, and bone preservation. We treat individual missing teeth, multiple gaps, failing teeth, loose dentures, and cases involving few or no healthy teeth. Full-arch solutions include removable, snap-in, and fixed options, with treatment tailored to individual needs and budget.
Teeth Whitening
read moreOur teeth whitening service is designed to refresh smiles affected by coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and aging. We offer the choice of a professionally supervised in-office treatment or a convenient custom take-home option, allowing us to accommodate different preferences and schedules. Throughout the process, we focus on protecting your gums and enamel while delivering brighter, more reliable results.
Porcelain Veneers
read moreOur porcelain veneers offer an effective cosmetic solution for common smile imperfections without orthodontics. We carefully plan each treatment using digital photos, bite records, and impressions before creating provisional veneers for you to evaluate. Your final veneers are crafted by a specialized ceramist, previewed with you, and securely bonded once the appearance meets your expectations.

I had a veneer break and fall off. I needed to go to a wedding in a few days. Dr Gleaves office got me in on an emergency basis and took care of fixing my tooth. It was fast, professional and I now have a brand new veneer just in time for our wedding event!

I dont trust dentists easily but they were able to get me in for an emergency appointment and took great care of the issue and have been helping me to get my teeth back in order. The staff is great and very friendly and very knowledgeable.

My son chipped his front tooth on a speaker. Dr Gleave office got us in the next day, performed a root canal and put a temporary crown on. We got the porcelain replacement in less than a week and got the permanent replacement done and it looks better than before!!!

I had a tooth chip and went in thinking I needed it pulled. Doctor Gleave restored my tooth without needing it to be extracted and Im so grateful. Staff were all friendly and helpful. They were quick with the service as well!

The best dental care I have ever experienced! The first time I met Dr. Gleave and his sweet receptionist Penny, was when he provided me with emergency dental care on a Sunday afternoon late last year. I was amazed at their willingness to drop what they were doing on their day off and meet me at his practice to pull an abscessed tooth that had grown severely painful and caused my face to swell like a balloon. Since then Dr. Gleave has handled all my dental needs. His office is clean, modern, and welcoming. Dr. Gleave and his staff are incredibly professional, friendly, respectful, courteous, and most of all caring. I highly recommend Dr. Gleave and his staff for their compassionate quality dental care. Truly, one of the best, if not the very best dentist in the valley!

I went there on short notice on a Monday morning and they were able to take a look at me. He helped assess the situation and I was able to save my tooth. We were able to do a root canal and it was very fast and effective. I definitely recommend going there if you need services.

Dr Gleave and his office provided me outstanding emergency care. He is super responsive and called in an antibiotic on a Sunday night of a Holiday weekend and scheduled to see me the following morning on Memorial day. Turns out my problem was not related to my teeth. He offered recommendations of specialists to see to determine the root cause of my infection. Trustworthy, knowledgeable and responsive...what more could you ask for?

I am really happy to finally find a dentist that actually cares about his patients. His hygienist is excellent and made my teeth sparkle. My son also goes to Dr. Gleave and he is the one that sent me to him because he really likes everyone there too. I finally have some hope that I can get the right treatment for my dental issues. Thanks so much for a great experience!

If I could give more stars I would! I've been going to Dr.Gleave for a few years now. ALL of the staff is amazing. I get my teeth cleaned here, I had a root canal, all my wisdom teeth taken out and most recently I just got 4 new top veneers. This was a huge life changing decision and I'm glad I made it with Dr.Gleave! I've always smiled before with my old teeth but now I never ever stop smiling! It has truly changed my life and my smile! I will be for ever grateful for what Dr Gleave has done for me! Here are some photos to show how much of a difference he has made for me.

Rod Gleave and his staff are amazing! I had a broken molar that was painful, they got me in same day. Treated me with empathy and respect. Very gentle and fast. I definitely recommend him and will be going back for all my future dental needs!

I was in incredible pain on Saturday and Dr. Gleave was able to fit me in for an emergency appointment. I then went back to my regular dentist on Monday, but they were not taking the treatment as seriously as I was hoping- scheduling me for an appointment to actually do the root canal a week later. I called back Dr. Gleaves office and they got me in the next day. I just got done and had a great experience there and have already recommended him to other family members. The staff are very friendly as well!

I really like Dr. Gleaves office; the staff is organized, responsive, and experienced. It stands out among other dental practices Ive worked with. I woke with an emergency one morning and was able to be seen by them before noon and have been so happy with service there since.
