Personalized Treatment Plans
Everyone has unique needs. When planning dental care, we consider all these aspects, from dental health to family life, careers, and budget. When Dr. Bagley recommends a treatment, you can be confident you will feel fully informed and understand why and how it will benefit you.
At Morris Plains Center for Dentistry, we are honest and transparent and don’t believe in over-treating. You can be confident that your family’s treatment recommendations are always in your best interest.
Importance of Preventive Dentistry
Regular teeth cleanings and exams allow us to monitor your oral health needs as they change. Prevention is always better than intervention, and these visits help you avoid cavities and gum disease and allow us to address them before they become more serious.
Dr. Bagley's commitment to continuing education means he stays current with the latest preventive techniques, bringing modern dental advances directly to your family's care.
Dentistry for Broken, Decayed, or Missing Teeth
Restorative dentistry involves repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth. Dr. Bagley applies the same precision and attention to detail that first drew him to dentistry when watching his father's laboratory work. Whether you have a cavity, a broken tooth, or missing teeth, he'll restore your smile using his expertise and high-quality materials.
