Dental Checkups & Cleanings
You shouldn’t underestimate the value of routine dental checkups and cleanings. During these visits, our team can carefully examine your smile and ensure that there aren’t any signs of underlying tooth decay, gum disease, or other nasty issues. We’ll also give your teeth a very thorough cleaning and remove all of the built-up plaque and tartar, which doesn’t just leave your smile healthier, but also brighter! Every checkup also includes an oral cancer screening; this disease is quite treatable if detected early on, so rest assured, we’ll inspect your oral structures closely and keep accurate records of your smile’s health moving forward.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that’s often added to community water sources and oral hygiene products since it can help to strengthen tooth enamel and protect your smile from cavity-causing bacteria. However, if your pearly whites aren’t getting enough fluoride, we can provide you with this quick, straightforward treatment during any routine checkup. It’s quick, non-invasive, and certain to benefit your smile in the long run!
Dental Sealants
When it comes to cavity prevention, dental sealants are useful for both children and adults alike. They’re essentially thin, protective shields for the chewing surfaces of teeth, protecting them from harmful bacteria that are tough to clear out. Rest assured, they’re made from biocompatible materials and proven to add an impressive layer of protection to one’s smile!
Nightguards for Bruxism
Bruxism, also known as teeth grinding, often occurs at nighttime when a patient is unaware of it. That doesn’t make it any less serious, though—it can lead to worn tooth enamel, chipped or cracked teeth, or even painful problems that affect the jaw and temporomandibular joints (TMJ). To minimize the impact of this condition, we can provide patients with custom-made nightguards that reduce the amount of stain placed on the teeth and jaw at night.
