Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Simply put, coming to our office every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning is one of the absolute best ways of ensuring that your smile remains healthy, bright, and free of issues like cavities and gum disease! During each visit, our team will carefully check for any concerning signs or symptoms, and we’ll review our findings with you and walk you through any recommended treatments. This exam includes screening for any oral cancer symptoms— if caught early, the disease is very treatable. We will also perform a detailed cleaning that involves removing any built-up plaque or tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and along your gumline.
Gum Disease Treatment
It’s estimated that around half of all US adults over the age of 30 show signs of gum disease. What’s worse is that without professional treatment, this condition has the potential to cause tooth loss as well as systemic issues that impact your whole body! If you’ve noticed bleeding or swollen gums, loose teeth, or gum recession, our team can help. We can use a pair of procedures known as scaling and root planing to carefully remove all the harmful bacteria from beneath your gumline, then gently smooth your tooth roots to encourage proper healing.
Dentistry for Children
Dental experts agree that children should begin visiting the dentist for routine care as soon as their first tooth arrives. We’re happy to treat your child alongside you to ensure that you both continue to have happy, healthy smiles! We offer a variety of pediatric dental services, ranging from checkups and cleanings to fluoride treatments and dental sealants, all in a gentle, calming environment that’ll make your child feel positive about dental care moving forward.
Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards
Did you know that approximately 3 to 5 million teeth are lost each year due to sports-related injuries? Although this number is shockingly high, dental injuries during sports and physical activities can often be avoided entirely with the help of an athletic mouthguard, sometimes called a sportsguard. While there are stock mouthguards that you can purchase at most sporting goods stores, these aren’t anywhere close to as effective as those provided by our office. Custom-made and far more durable and comfortable than store-bought options, don’t hesitate to ask us about one of these devices for you or your child during your next appointment.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Bruxism is a condition that causes patients to grind and clench their teeth together, and it often happens at night while someone is asleep and completely unaware. This can lead to worn and damaged teeth, as well as strained jaw joints that affect your mouth’s mobility. However, we can prevent this by providing you with a custom-made nightguard. These devices are designed to fit comfortably inside your mouth while you sleep, and they’ll prevent the strain and damage caused by bruxism.
