Protect Your Smile from Dental Issues with Preventive Dentistry

Even with advanced restorative services, prevention is the best medicine—it’s simple, cost-effective, and prevents unnecessary pain. After all, why fix problems later when you can stop them before they start?

Complete preventive dentistry is a combined effort between you and the dentist. At home, we expect you to brush and floss your teeth diligently. Meanwhile, we support your efforts with expert care that picks up where your toothbrush leaves off.

• Dental exams: We recommend bi-annual dental screenings so that minor problems never have a chance to grow into big problems. These quick, non-invasive screenings allow us to inspect your teeth, gums, existing dental work, etc., to stop issues even before symptoms manifest.
• Dental cleanings: Regular teeth cleanings are professional tune-ups for your teeth. The dentist uses special tools and skills to remove plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach surfaces. Routine teeth cleanings prevent decay and infections, avoiding the need for costly and invasive procedures down the line.
•  Dental sealants: These thin, protective coatings are brushed onto the chewing surfaces of your back teeth, where food and bacteria love to hide. Once in place, sealants block out cavity-causing culprits, offering an extra layer of defense that can last for years. Teeth sealants are quick, painless, and perfect for children and adults who want to prevent tooth decay before it even begins.
• Oral cancer screenings: Mouth cancer screening is a small step that can potentially save your life. Oral cancer rarely shows obvious symptoms in its early stages. However, regular screenings can catch any warning signs before they become serious. Early detection allows for effective, non-aggressive treatment. Mouth cancer exams are quick, painless, and non-invasive. Peace of mind has never been so simple!
• Mouthguards: A custom nightguard protects your smile against damage from chronic teeth grinding (bruxism). Unlike store-bought guards, ours are customized to fit your unique smile, offering comfort, stability, and optimal protection.
• Periodontal care: Gum disease is one of America’s most common dental conditions and the leading cause of tooth loss. Our office works hard to prevent and treat gum disease to safeguard oral health.
