Preventative Care

Preventative care is the cornerstone of good oral health.  It is essential to keep your smile healthy and happy.  Routine care includes regular cleanings, x-rays, and periodontal check-ups with the dentist.  We can help identify issues that could potentially damage your smile and find treatment plans before they become problems.  Preventative care can also save you time and money by helping to avoid more expensive care needs related to poor oral health. 

In order to keep your smile healthy, we offer the following preventative care services:

Hygiene

Our friendly staff will make you feel comfortable and at ease for regular cleanings to keep your smile bright.  Proper periodontal maintenance removes tartar and plaque and helps to eliminate stains on your smile.  It helps to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.

Periodontal Gum Check-Up

 Gum disease is a common issue but can be reversible in the early stages.  Periodontal disease can lead to sore gums, bleeding, chewing issues, and even tooth loss.  We will work with you proactively to keep your gums healthy and recommend any possible steps needed to keep your gums healthy.

 

X-Rays and Digital Imaging

 X-rays and digital imaging are important to see below the surface of your smile.  They can detect cavities, weakness in previous dental work, gum or bone recession, and abnormal tooth wear.   Our state-of-the-art technology means that images are done in seconds and with less discomfort. 

 

Comprehensive Exam

 During each check-up visit, the dentist will conduct a visual exam.  This will include a complete assessment of the patient teeth and gums.  They will evaluate any oral health issues and evaluate jaw and bite alignment.  If the exam finds any signs of periodontal problems, the dentist will discuss an individualized treatment plan to keep your smile healthy.
