Teeth Cleanings
Regular teeth cleanings are an essential part of preventive dental care. During a cleaning, our team removes plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing alone can’t reach. Cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath while keeping your smile healthy and bright. We can also provide tips on proper brushing and flossing techniques to maintain your oral health between visits.
Dental Exams
Dental exams allow our team to monitor the health of your teeth and gums. During an exam, we check for cavities, gum issues, bite alignment, and early signs of oral health problems. Early detection makes treatment simpler and more effective, helping you avoid more serious issues down the road. Regular exams are a key step in maintaining a healthy, long-lasting smile.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent cavities. They act as a barrier against food and bacteria, especially in hard-to-reach grooves. Sealants are quick, painless, and ideal for children and teens, helping maintain healthy teeth while reducing the risk of decay over time.
Nightguards
Nightguards are custom-made devices that protect teeth from damage caused by grinding or clenching during sleep. They help prevent wear, cracks, and jaw discomfort while supporting overall oral health. Our team creates nightguards that fit comfortably and securely, allowing you to sleep peacefully while keeping your teeth safe from nighttime stress.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer screenings are a quick, painless exam performed during routine dental visits. We check your lips, tongue, cheeks, and gums for unusual spots, sores, or tissue changes. Early detection is critical for effective treatment, making these screenings an important preventive step to protect your health and catch potential issues before they become serious.
Dental X-Rays
Dental X-rays provide a detailed look at areas of your mouth that aren’t visible during a regular exam. They help detect cavities between teeth, monitor developing teeth, and identify bone or root issues. X-rays are safe, quick, and an important tool for catching problems early and planning effective treatment to maintain your oral health.
