At our office, we work very hard to provide you, our valued patient, with the best care & treatment that dentistry has to offer. We utilize state-of-the-art procedures, instruments & techniques.
Family Dentistry
Portsmouth Dental Care offers dentistry for the entire family. We understand that adults & children have different needs & we address them all. Adults want the best technology, the most informed doctors & the highest-quality care, while kids want to be comfortable & respected. That’s why Dr. Frohnmayer & Dr. Turk have extensive experience working with both adults & children. We can make your dental experience more enjoyable for everyone.
Restorative Dentistry
We provide various treatment options for the repair of diseased or traumatized teeth. This includes fillings, crowns & space maintainers if needed.
Preventive Dentistry
This includes our regular dental hygiene visits, sealants, mouthguards & patient/parent education. We place a high emphasis on sealants, which are effective in preventing tooth decay on the biting surfaces of chewing teeth. This plastic coating, which is clear or tooth-colored, is applied to deep pits & grooves. This seals them in the areas where decay is most likely to begin. At less than half the cost of conventional fillings, without anesthetics or drilling, sealants are one of the most important preventive services we have.
Six Month Smiles® - Cosmetic Braces
Six Month Smiles® utilizes clear braces to gently straighten teeth in an average time of only six months!

Six Month Smiles® is conservative, inexpensive & highly effective. It may sound too good to be true, but thousands of people around the country are living proof that this is real! Contact us today & learn more about this exciting procedure!
Mercury-Free Dentistry
We understand your concerns regarding the use of mercury fillings. Accordingly, at our office we have elected to offer our patients the option of using new advanced fillings made of tooth-colored materials that contain no metals or mercury as an alternative to traditional silver fillings.
Emergency Dental Care
We recognize that dental emergency situations do arise, & at Portsmouth Dental Care, we will do our best to respond to your problem promptly. Regardless if it is something as simple as a tooth filling or a complicated procedure requiring an Portsmouth Dental Care cosmetic dentist, we can provide you with assistance. If the problem arises when the Portsmouth Dental Care offices are closed, our answering service will forward your message to your dentist.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Having a great smile can make a huge difference in the way you look & feel. We offer a complete range of cosmetic treatments to create the confident smile you've always wanted. We begin with a detailed smile assessment, discussing with you which aspects you like & dislike about your smile. Once our assessment is complete, we will discuss with you treatment options to help your smile look more natural, healthier & youthful.
Sedation Dentistry
Wake up to a more healthy & beautiful smile with amazingly comfortable sedation dentistry. We care for patients who have these concerns:
- I’m afraid of needles & shots.
- I’ve had bad experiences before.
- I have not been to the dentist in a long time.
- I always gag when having dental work done.
- I just can’t seem to get numb.
- All my teeth are too far gone.
Teeth Whitening
Now you can have significantly whiter teeth in a matter of a few days using advanced teeth-whitening techniques. Both comfortable & affordable, our teeth-whitening procedure involves you wearing a specially crafted tray for a few hours in order to achieve a surprising difference in your smile!
Lumineers® Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are an excellent alternative to crowns & can perfect your smile by masking stains, hiding chips, correcting misalignment & creating uniformity. We feature Lumineers®, which can be placed over existing teeth without the removal of any form of tooth structure. Therefore, anesthesia & temporaries are not required. The no-prep technique is perfect for stained, chipped, misaligned or spaced teeth. Bonding porcelain to enamel creates a solid, secure bond.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are man-made replacements for natural teeth. The implants themselves are artificial tooth roots anchored in the gum or jawbone on which replacement teeth are permanently secured. Since implanted teeth are fixed in the mouth rather than being removable like dentures, they allow a return to the comfort & function of natural teeth. Increased chewing ability means you can enjoy more nutritious foods, contributing to your overall health & well-being. In short, dental implants improve the quality of your life. They can improve your appearance, boost your self-confidence & allow you to speak with greater clarity.
TMJ (Jaw Pain) Therapy
Commonly misdiagnosed or overlooked, a subtle misalignment in the temporomandibular joint can be a common, significant source of head & neck pain. If you have frequent & severe head or neck pain, you owe it to yourself to investigate our doctor’s life-changing approach to correcting these TMJ problems.
Invisalign®
Invisalign® is the revolutionary way to help you get even, straight teeth without noticeable, painful metal braces. Virtually undetectable, Invisalign® aligners are made of strong, clear plastic that gradually guide your teeth into perfect alignment. Unlike metal braces, they have no wires or brackets. Tooth impressions are made, from which Invisalign® develops customized aligners that will slide directly over your teeth. Aligners are typically worn full-time (except when eating or drinking) for 12 to 48 months — no longer than you would wear traditional metal braces. Aligners are replaced every two weeks as your teeth shift into place.
Digital X-Rays
We offer in-office digital x-rays for your convenience.
Digital x-rays are computer-generated images. These images require up to 90%
less radiation than with conventional film-type x-rays. Instead of using the
traditional silver-oxide x-ray film that must be developed & then fixed in
caustic & environmentally damaging solutions, this new system takes pictures
via a small electronic sensor & instantaneously transmits a picture of
the tooth onto the video monitor in the treatment room. Therefore, we can see
your teeth & surrounding structures immediately. Feel free to contact us for
more details or to make an appointment!
Sealants & Fluoride Treatments
Tooth decay, otherwise known as cavities, can be a significant problem for children as well as adults. There are numerous factors that lead to tooth decay & there are ways to prevent it. With the use of sealants, we can cover the deep grooves in your back teeth & extend their life while helping to prevent cavities.
Filtered Water Lines
We understand your concern about water quality & the importance of keeping you & your family healthy. For this reason, we utilize filtered water lines during our dental procedures. By filtering the water used in dental procedures, we are able to get rid of any substances that may compromise the health of our patients. The safety, health & dental care of patients are our top priorities. This is just another way to show how much we care!
