Welcome to the Whole Tooth
Look, we get it; no one likes the dentist. The cold, clinical office. The decades-old magazines. The scary drilling noises. And when you’re an adult, they don’t even give you a little toy airplane anymore if you’re good—what’s up with that?
But the Whole Tooth is different. Our practice is comfortable, warm, and inviting. We’ve created an uplifting place to restore your teeth and renew your quality of life. And look, if you really want it, we’ll give you a toy, no matter who you are.

Discover More About Us
We know we can be a lot. Let’s break it down so you can learn all about what we do at The Whole Tooth Dentistry.
Preventive Dentistry
Preventive dentistry is one of the core pillars of our practice. We’ve designed our preventive services around keeping your teeth clean and healthy to prevent disease before it starts. It all starts with our routine oral exams. You know how these work. But we take extra care to clean your teeth with minimal discomfort or awkwardness.
In addition to our regular cleanings, we also offer targeted periodontal treatment to help prevent gum disease.
With our preventive services, we can help you prevent cavities and tooth decay. But you know you’ve still got to brush your teeth!
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry is used to extend the life of your teeth after damage or decay. Over time, most of us will need some kind of restorative dental work; it’s just a fact.
Fillings and crowns are some of the most common ways we can repair the damage caused by tooth decay. In more serious cases, we may need to perform a root canal to clean the inside of the tooth when the nerve becomes infected or traumatized.
Sometimes, tooth damage is serious enough that we can’t save the tooth. In these cases, Dr. Ruby will perform an extraction to remove the damaged tooth safely. Then we’ll get to work to restore your smile. For individual missing teeth, we can place dental implants to create a synthetic replacement for your tooth. For larger areas, we may recommend bridges or partial dentures to restore full functionality to your mouth.
If you think you may need restorative dental work, we’ll usually start with an examination to identify the issue. Then we’ll develop a treatment plan customized to your oral needs.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Improving your teeth’s health and function is vital of course, but we can’t forget the importance of a winning smile, too. Thankfully, The Whole Tooth’s got you covered with our cosmetic dentistry services.
Dr. Ruby can restore the look of individual teeth with a veneer, or provide more comprehensive care with teeth whitening. We can even straighten crooked teeth with proven orthodontic treatments from Invisalign. We can even combine our cosmetic services to provide the most comprehensive care to restore your smile.
Facial Aesthetics
Our commitment to your appearance doesn’t stop at your teeth. The Whole Tooth has branched out into facial aesthetic treatments to renew your skin’s quality and tone around your face.
Dr. Ruby and our aesthetics team specialize in full-face care. We use some of the most advanced devices available to provide you with unbeatable aesthetic treatments.
With Emface, we can contour your facial muscles to build up muscle tone, tighten your skin, and minimize the appearance of wrinkles.
For more comprehensive skin tightening, we use the innovative Exion device. This device combines ultrasound technology with microneedling to provide more targeted treatment for your skin.
One of the best things about any of our devices is that they are nonsurgical and minimally invasive. That means that there are no incisions involved—yet you can still see transformative results from our care.
