Preventative Dentistry is the foundation of a healthy smile. Our proactive approach focuses on maintaining oral health, preventing decay, and addressing potential issues early. From routine cleanings to advanced diagnostics, we offer comprehensive care to protect your teeth and gums for a lifetime of confident smiles.
Dental Cleanings
Your dental cleaning appointment is designed to leave your teeth feeling refreshed and your oral health on the right track. If you’re new to our practice, we’ll start with a thorough review of your dental history and any concerns you may have. Next, we’ll take x-rays and perform a detailed oral exam to check for any issues. During the cleaning, our hygienist will gently remove plaque and tartar buildup before polishing your teeth for a smooth, clean finish. The visit wraps up with personalized care tips and recommendations to maintain your healthy smile at home.
Sealants/Silver Diamine Fluoride
Preventing cavities is easier than ever with dental sealants and silver diamine fluoride treatments. Sealants are a thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, shielding them from decay. For patients at higher risk of cavities, silver diamine fluoride can halt the progression of decay and prevent further damage. These treatments are safe, quick, and effective ways to preserve your oral health.
Gum Disease
Healthy gums are essential for overall oral health, and our Perio Protect program is designed to combat gum disease at its source. This innovative treatment combines professional care with custom-fitted trays that deliver medication directly to the gums, targeting bacteria and promoting healing. Perio Protect not only helps treat gum disease but also prevents it from advancing, ensuring your gums remain healthy and strong.
Laser Therapy
Experience cutting-edge care with laser therapy for oral health. Our Laser Bacterial Reduction treatment targets harmful bacteria hiding below the gumline, promoting a clean, healthy environment for your gums. This minimally invasive therapy is comfortable and effective, reducing inflammation and enhancing the healing process. Laser therapy is an excellent complement to regular cleanings, offering an advanced level of protection for your gums.
Saliva Testing
Your saliva holds valuable clues about your oral and overall health. With advanced testing methods like Bristle Testing and nitric oxide analysis, we can assess your risk for conditions like gum disease, cavities, and even systemic health issues. Saliva testing provides a personalized approach to your care, allowing us to tailor treatments and preventative strategies to your unique needs.
