Preventive Dentistry
Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health and preventing dental issues before they arise. It includes regular dental check-ups, cleanings, and education on proper oral hygiene practices. By prioritizing preventive measures, individuals can reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems, leading to better overall oral health and potentially avoiding more extensive and costly dental treatments in the future.
Exams
Comprehensive evaluation of teeth, gums, and oral structures to assess health, detect issues, and plan treatment.
Cleanings
Dental cleanings involve the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth, promoting oral hygiene, preventing gum disease, and maintaining a healthy smile.
X-Rays
Dental x-rays use low levels of radiation to capture images of teeth, bones, and surrounding tissues, aiding in the diagnosis of dental conditions not visible to the naked eye, such as cavities, impacted teeth, and bone loss.
Sealants
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to help prevent tooth decay by sealing out bacteria and food particles.
Bite Guards
Bite guards, also known as night guards or occlusal splints, are dental devices worn over the teeth to protect against teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism), alleviate jaw pain, and prevent dental damage.
Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal maintenance involves regular professional cleaning and monitoring of the gums and supporting structures to manage gum disease, prevent its progression, and maintain optimal oral health.
