Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
Examining your mouth and nearby oral structures is one of the most effective ways to combat cavities, gum disease, tooth decay, and more. Our skilled team members will take digital images of your smile before completing a thorough dental exam and professional teeth cleaning. This process allows us to detect any issues early on and administer care quickly so that you avoid invasive restorative dental care.
Gum Disease Treatment
With gum disease treatment, we can administer scaling and root planing, which is the removal of plaque and tartar around the gumline before smoothing the tooth root. This addresses bacteria that attack the soft tissues and cause inflammation and tenderness. Depending on the status of your smile, we may also recommend Arestin antibiotic therapy to heal the pocket and reduce the chances of reinfection in the future.
Fluoride Treatment
Often found in many toothpaste brands and various foods and tap water, fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that dentists often rely on to improve the health of patients’ smiles. Designed to make teeth stronger, it also works to prevent tooth decay from forming and attempting to penetrate and damage the enamel. With a single application of a fluoride gel or varnish, we can better protect your teeth in between appointments from forming cavities.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Jaw pain, headaches, and neck soreness are common side effects that can occur as a result of bruxism. More commonly referred to as teeth grinding and/or clenching, this unfortunate habit can take a toll on your smile if you’re not careful. But with a custom-made nightguard, we can help to keep your teeth from touching throughout the night so that you’re relieved of pain associated with this unhealthy, unknowingly bad habit.
