Why Should I Get Preventive Care?
Preventive dental care is essential for maintaining optimal oral health and preventing the development of serious dental problems. By catching and treating issues early, you can save time, money, and discomfort in the long run. Regular preventive care visits also allow us to monitor your oral health and provide personalized recommendations for at-home care.
Our Preventive Treatments
Our thorough dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, promoting healthier teeth and gums. Our skilled hygienists provide gentle care and offer tips for maintaining excellent oral hygiene at home.
We use advanced digital x-ray technology to obtain clear, detailed images of your teeth and jaw. This allows us to detect potential issues early and plan appropriate treatment, all while minimizing radiation exposure.
Fluoride treatments help strengthen tooth enamel, making your teeth more resistant to decay. We offer professional fluoride applications to provide extra protection, especially for those at higher risk of cavities.
Dental sealants are a safe, effective way to protect the chewing surfaces of your back teeth from decay. We apply a thin, protective coating to fill in the grooves and crevices, creating a barrier against cavity-causing bacteria.
We provide comprehensive periodontal care to prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease. Our team offers deep cleanings, scaling, and root planing to remove harmful bacteria and promote healthy gums.
Our dentists perform thorough oral cancer screenings as part of your regular check-ups. We visually inspect your mouth and feel for any abnormalities, enabling early detection and increasing the chances of successful treatment.
If you suffer from teeth grinding or clenching during sleep, we can create custom-fitted night guards to protect your teeth from damage. These comfortable appliances help alleviate jaw pain and prevent excessive tooth wear.
