Our office continues to be prevention oriented. We want to assist you and your children in maintaining your teeth for a lifetime. From routine cleanings to periodontal therapy and maintenance, our professional dental hygienists will educate you in all areas of dentistry so that you can make well informed decisions about your dental health care.
The most distinctive advantage of Cerec restorations is our ability to fabricate at chair side, in a single visit, a high-quality, durable, tooth colored restoration with no impressions, no temporaries, and no second anesthesia visit. From single visit Crowns, to Inlays and Onlays, once placed these restorations are virtually undetectable and conserve much of your natural tooth structure. As you will see from the chart below, Cerec is not only good for your tooth, it feels good too. These restorations boast the lowest post procedural sensitivity rate of any tooth colored dental restoration. Our office has been training with Cerec experts from San Diego to Detroit since 2001. We offer our patients the most experience and expertise with this technology compared to any other office in the greater lower Columbia basin. Click here to see before and after photographs.
Oral and I.V. sedation is a safe and effective way of dealing with the debilitating fear and anxiety that prevents people from receiving the dental care they need. Using a safe, fast acting pill or I.V. allows you to relax, and enjoy the convenience of taking care of several appointments in a single visit. You can rest at ease knowing that Dr. Lesh and his staff attended advanced training in a mini-residency at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, qualifying him to be licensed in the administration of conscious sedation, and his staff to expertly assist you every step of the way.
For your convenience, many routine procedures such as tooth extraction, 3rd molar (wisdom teeth removal) and periodontal gingival grafting are performed right here in our office. No more running from doctor to doctor for all of your dental care needs.
Cerec inlays and onlays are used to replace silver fillings. Gone are the days of crowning teeth that once had large silver fillings. These single visit restorations are durable, beautiful and conserve your remaining natural tooth structure. Click here to view photographs.
Crowns are placed over the entire tooth and are used to correct severe decay, heavy wear, as well as teeth that have undergone root canal therapy. Cerec technology allows us to fabricate at chair side, in a single visit, a high-quality, durable, tooth colored crown with no impressions, no temporaries, and no second anesthesia visit.

Digital radiography has dramatically improved the old standard x-rays, by reducing your exposure to radiation by up to 90%. Virtually within seconds of taking digital x-rays your x-rays appear on our computer screen, no more processing films and waiting. These large, clear images are then computer analyzed to aid in the detection of tooth decay.
This simple yet effective way to lighten teeth is affordable to all. Tooth color can be dramatically changed with a professionally supervised at-home whitening kit. In just two to three days you can have the bright smile you've always wanted for that special occasion; wedding, prom, senior pictures, or class reunion.
Much like a fake finger nail, porcelain veneers are applied to the front of a tooth to dramatically improve its position, size, color and shape. Created in a dental lab, these beautiful restorations can provide you with a permanent aesthetic solution in as little as 2 visits. Click here to see before and after photographs.
