Comprehensive Dentistry for the Entire Family

Woman Having Dental Checkup — Bismarck, ND — A Lifetime of Smiles

At A Lifetime of Smiles, we work with our patients to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that will allow them to achieve and maintain optimal oral health. We perform a wide range of general dentistry services that involve the diagnosis, treatment, and maintenance of conditions and problems that affect the teeth, gums, and jaw. 

Individual Consultations & Dental Exams 

We also focus on prevention and gum care so that we can diagnose and treat problems before they become even more painful or expensive. We work with our patients to help them understand how keeping up with oral health helps improve their overall health as well. Regular dental visits can also significantly reduce the amount of money our patients would otherwise need to spend on dental treatment later in life. We genuinely want you and your family to enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles!

Dental Cleanings

Dental Sealants

Proper oral hygiene is essential for preventing cavities, but toothbrushes cannot always reach down into the deepest grooves of teeth. Dental sealants work by filling in grooves on the chewing surfaces of back teeth where food particles can get caught and cause cavities. The application of sealants is fast and comfortable, and sealants can effectively help protect teeth for many years.

Fluoride Treatments

Plaque wears away at tooth enamel in a process known as “demineralization.” Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that promotes the remineralization of enamel, thereby strengthening the teeth and helping protect them against decay. Fluoride can also help reverse the early stages of tooth decay. Children with newly erupted teeth (especially permanent teeth) can benefit a great deal from fluoride exposure. The safe and easy way to expose your teeth to fluoride is to use fluoride toothpaste. But there are also several gels, rinses, and in-office fluoride treatments we offer that can do the trick!

Custom Athletic Mouthguards & Nightguards

Your dental team at A Lifetime of Smiles can create a custom-fitted plastic mouthguard to protect your teeth, gums, lips, and cheeks from sports-related injuries. Athletic mouthguards can even help prevent severe injuries to the face, jaw, and head.


Do you grind your teeth at night? If so, you may be suffering from a condition called bruxism. Bruxism is harmful to your teeth, and may also cause additional problems like headaches, jaw pain, and arthritic jaw. We can help you protect your teeth from the effects of grinding with a custom-made nightguard. This plastic guard is worn at night while you sleep and covers and preserves the teeth you’ve been grinding. Nightguards have also been shown to reduce or eliminate jaw pain and headaches that often are associated with bruxism.
