Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Routine checkups and cleanings are the cornerstone of dental health, and there’s no better way to ensure that your smile is in tip-top shape than by visiting us semiannually for this all-important preventive care. During these visits, our team will carefully inspect your teeth, gums, and other oral structures for signs of anything concerning – including oral cancer symptoms. Following this thorough examination, we’ll conduct a detailed cleaning of your smile, remove any built-up plaque and tartar, and polish your teeth.
Fluoride Treatment
If you’re familiar with fluoride, you might already know that it’s a naturally occurring mineral that’s often added to local tap water sources. Its primary benefit is that it assists with the remineralization of our tooth enamel, making it an invaluable asset to modern dental care. Following a routine checkup, we can quickly and painlessly apply fluoride gel to your teeth to help protect them. For younger patients, we also offer silver diamine fluoride treatments; these are capable of both assisting arresting cavities, as well as outright preventing decay.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are one of the best ways to shield vulnerable back teeth from cavities. The molars typically have more grooves, pits, and crevices in their surfaces compared to other teeth, meaning that they’re more susceptible to cavities and decay. This risk is even greater in children, though adults can benefit from sealants too. We’ll quickly and painlessly apply these sealants to at-risk teeth, providing you or your child with lasting cavity-protection.
Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards
If you or any of your family members play sports, we suggest stopping by our office for a custom-made mouthguard. These are designed to protect your teeth (or dental restorations) from the high-impact injuries that can occur during rough physical activity. The ones we can provide at our office are also much more comfortable to wear than store-bought varieties, in addition to being more durable and protective!
Nightguards for Bruxism
Bruxism is a condition that causes patients to grind their teeth or clench their jaw, often subconsciously while they’re asleep. This can cause damage to the enamel, in addition to putting excess stress on the jaw joints. We can fit you with a custom-made nightguard to be worn while you sleep, which will provide a protective barrier between your teeth. This helps to prevent any serious damage that might result from bruxism and ultimately ensures proper jaw alignment.
