Preventive Dentistry

Regular exams and cleanings are essential to good oral health.  We offer a full range of preventive services to keep your teeth and mouth clean and healthy.

Complete Oral Exam

Regular dental exams are the best way to preserve your teeth and your gums and your overall dental hygiene. Our complete oral exams include: Examination of diagnostic low-radiations x-rays, oral cancer screening, gum disease evaluation, tooth decay screening, examination of your existing restorations, occlusions analysis, and smile analysis. This complete oral exam is so important and something you should not put off.

Digital Dental X-Rays

We offer digital dental x-rays that are low radiation while still giving us clear results. A dental x-ray is an important picture that we take of your teeth, mouth and jaw and allows us to see soft tissues, bone, and other things that cannot be caught with the naked eye. A digital dental x-ray is included with your complete oral exam.

Oral Cancer Screenings 

Oral cancer can go unnoticed without a proper screening. It can appear in any area of the oral cavity including the tongue, the soft or hard palate, cheek lining, the lips and gum tissue. An oral cancer screening is part of our complete oral exam.

Professional Dental Cleaning

You should be getting a regular dental cleaning every six months. Our dental cleanings include tartar removal, plaque removal, teeth polishing, and home care instructions. A cleaning is vital for oral health and important in removing any bacteria that may be forming on your teeth or next to your gums.

Non-Surgical Periodontics

Before moving to a surgical option to improve your dental concern we try any non-surgical procedures first. Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical treatment. It is also called a deep cleaning in which the tooth root surfaces and cleaned and smoothed with specific instruments.

Home Dental Care Guidance

Taking good care of your teeth starts at home, preferably at a young age. It is important to take care of your teeth at all ages. We want to support you in your dental care not only in the dental office but in your home as well. We will educate you about the maintenance and care of your teeth and gums and answer any questions you may have.
