Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Routine dental checkups and cleanings are the very foundation of maintaining a lifelong, healthy, vibrant smile. During these visits, our team will perform a comprehensive oral examination to ensure everything looks as it should, followed by a detailed cleaning using specialized instruments and products to thoroughly remove any hidden plaque and tartar. We’ll also check for any concerning signs or symptoms, such as those related to oral cancer – though dangerous, it is highly treatable if detected early.
Children’s Dentistry
Dental wellness begins at a young age – even before all of the teeth have arrived! This means that starting your child off on the right foot with their dental care is a significant responsibility, and our team is more than happy to help. We can even treat your child alongside you! Whether they need a routine checkup and cleaning, a dental sealant on one or more of their teeth, or an athletic mouthguard to protect their smile whenever they’re on the field or playing outside, we’re ready to set them up for a bright future.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that’s found in most oral hygiene products, as well as many local water supplies, due to its unique oral health benefits. It’s capable of remineralizing the enamel layer of your teeth, which cannot heal on its own. Following your routine checkup and cleaning, we can apply a topical fluoride treatment to your teeth as a gel or varnish. This process is quick, non-invasive, and safe – and it’s certain to provide an additional layer of protection for your pearly whites, helping them resist issues like tooth decay.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Bruxism is a condition that refers to patients unknowingly grinding their teeth or clenching their jaws, and it most often occurs during nighttime. The condition can damage the enamel layer of your teeth and place tension and strain on the muscles and ligaments surrounding your jaw joints. Our office can provide you with a custom-made nightguard to counteract this condition; these devices are designed to keep your jaw in a proper position and prevent your teeth from coming into unfavorable contact as you sleep.
