Comprehensive Dentistry Services
Dental Exams
Regular dental exams are essential for maintaining good oral health. During your exam, our dentist will evaluate your teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of decay, disease, or other issues. We may also take X-rays to get a better look at your teeth and jaw. Based on the condition of your oral health, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan to address any issues and keep your smile healthy.
Dental Cleanings
Dental cleanings are an essential part of maintaining good oral health. During a cleaning, our hygienist will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, as well as polish them to remove surface stains. We recommend getting a dental cleaning once every six months to keep your smile healthy and prevent issues like gum disease from developing.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer is a serious condition that can be life-threatening if not detected early. That’s why we include oral cancer screenings in regular dental exams. During an oral cancer screening, our dentist will examine your mouth for signs of cancer, including sores, lumps, or abnormal patches of tissue. If we find any concerning areas, further testing or treatment may be recommended.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays are essential for diagnosing dental issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye. Our dentist uses digital X-rays, which are safer and more convenient than traditional ones. With digital X-rays, we can quickly capture images of your teeth and jaw, helping us detect issues like cavities, gum disease, or impacted teeth.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a mineral that helps prevent cavities and strengthen tooth enamel. We offer fluoride treatments at your regular visits to help keep your teeth healthy and strong. During a fluoride treatment, we’ll apply a fluoride gel or foam to your teeth, which will absorb into your enamel and help prevent decay.
Root Canal Therapy
If you have a severely damaged or infected tooth, you may need a root canal treatment. During this treatment, our dentist will remove the damaged or infected tissue from inside your tooth, clean out the root canals, and seal the area to prevent further infection. Root canal therapy can save a damaged tooth and prevent the need for extraction. We use the latest techniques and technology to ensure your root canal treatment is as comfortable as possible.
