Preventive Dentistry
Preventive dental care is essential to achieving optimal dental health (and overall good health). Regular checkups to keep your teeth and gums healthy can prevent the need for more extensive work later.
Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Regular checkups allow dental conditions to be caught earlier, when they can be more easily treated and corrected. Cleanings keep your smile bright and focus on removing plaque and tartar, which can cause issues throughout the mouth if left untreated. Regular visits to your dentist can prevent gum disease and tooth loss and allow early detection of signs of oral cancer and systemic diseases.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride provides protection from decay. We use fluoride concentrations that are significantly higher than what can be found in common toothpastes. Treatments are quick and usually take place following a dental cleaning.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea plagues many people. We create custom-fitted devices that work as an alternative to a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine. SomnoDent was developed to treat obstructive sleep apnea and the snoring that comes with it. The appliance moves the lower jaw forward, allowing tissues at the back of the throat to relax, and prevents the tongue from obstructing the airway—helping you to get a better, safer, quieter night’s sleep.
Occlusal Guards
Sealants
Brushing and flossing can clean smooth surfaces of the tooth but miss particles trapped in crevices and depressions. Sealants are barriers placed over vulnerable tooth surfaces to prevent cavities. They are usually positioned over the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to seal out contaminants.
Periodontal Therapy
Full Mouth Debridement
A debridement may be necessary if you’ve neglected your regular dental cleanings. This treatment removes thick plaque and buildup to allow for a complete exam and an effective cleaning.
