Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Routine dental checkups and cleanings are the cornerstone of oral hygiene—they allow us to maintain your smile and detect issues early on, before they have the chance to worsen into serious problems. Each visit involves a comprehensive examination performed by our team, followed by a detailed cleaning to remove built-up plaque and tartar that your toothbrush isn’t able to clear away. We recommend that you and everyone in your family schedule two of these visits every year.
Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing refer to a pair of procedures that are used to combat advanced gum disease that doesn’t respond to an improved oral hygiene regimen. It involves us using specialized instruments to clear out the deep pockets of bacteria that form underneath the gumline. We can also smooth out the tooth roots to ensure that the surrounding gum tissue is able to reattach itself.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Bruxism is a common condition that causes patients to grind or clench their teeth, most often during the night as they’re asleep—which means many patients are unaware of its presence! However, this condition can cause damage to the teeth enamel, and also place strain on the jaw joints and surrounding muscles. To counter this, our team can set you up with a custom-made nightguard to wear to bed every night. Comfortable, quiet, and easy to maintain, these devices can prevent the teeth from coming into unfavorable contact with each other.
Children’s Dentistry
The road to maintaining a lifelong healthy smile starts at a young age—and here at our office, we would be more than happy to treat your child alongside you! We offer a wide range of children’s dental services, including checkups & cleanings, silver diamine fluoride treatments, dental sealants, pulp treatment, and many others. We also offer educational tips and guidance on best practices for you and your child to follow at home to help keep things on track.
