Dental Cleaning and Comprehensive Care

Brushing and flossing are vital to your oral health, however, no amount of home care takes the place of professional teeth cleaning.

Good dental health is crucial not only for a beautiful smile but essential for your overall health and wellness. Combined with your daily oral care routine, visits to your dentist maintain your teeth, prevent gum disease, and address any problems that may occur. Good oral health lays the foundation and reduces your risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. 

If you’re afraid of the dentist, know that there are several strategies that our team uses to make you feel at ease. From routine checkups to advanced procedures, our staff is proud of our compassionate patient care. We work diligently to ensure that your mouth is as healthy as possible.

What to Expect During Your Visit

If you’ve struggled with dental phobias, we encourage you to meet with your dentist or hygienist before your first appointment. That way, you can discuss any concerns, and we can explain what happens during a general dentistry checkup. 

Don’t be afraid to ask questions during your dental appointment. We are most happy to explain each treatment, what you can expect during treatment, and whether it’s right for you.

Similarly, our team will answer questions about your daily at-home routine or the products you use. Further, we can offer individualized advice based on your personal dental health.

If you experience tooth sensitivity, let us know during any part of your checkup and cleaning. We will make any necessary instrument adjustments so that you feel more comfortable.

After the examination, cleaning, and polishing are finished, one of our dentists may recommend a plan of action such as fillings, cosmetic procedures, or other forms of treatment.

Lastly, let us know about any concerns or issues about your health. Pregnancy and some health conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease, may affect both the short and long-term health of your teeth and gums. Together we can address any matters and create an individualized oral care routine for you.

Routine Oral Hygiene including Gum/Periodontal Care

Every routine checkup involves a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. During your visit, the hygienist removes plaque and provides teeth cleaning and polishing. We also may perform an oral cancer screening or take imaging of your teeth and jaw.

Metal-Free Fillings 

Metal-based fillings show visibly in your mouth and can cause health risks, such as an allergic reaction to the metal, weakened tooth structure, or even bacterial infections over time. In comparison, composite fillings strengthen your tooth structure and therefore are less likely to crack over time. Furthermore, they can be replaced infrequently, saving you time and money.

root canal

Root Canals

A root canal is a procedure used to treat inflammation or infection of the tooth’s sensitive inner nerve tissue. This pulp inflammation can result from many causes, including deep decay, cracked teeth, or trauma. While you may feel uneasy about a root canal, be aware that the procedure is safe and straightforward. It is also a better alternative to tooth extraction.

Crowns and Bridges

Crowns act as a cover for damaged teeth and prevent the tooth from fracturing beyond repair. Bridges, conversely, replace missing teeth. Gaps left by missing teeth can cause existing teeth to shift, therefore creating alignment problems. Bridges prevent alignment issues by serving as replacement teeth.

dentures

Dentures  

Dentures are removable artificial teeth and gums created by your dentists to replace lost or removed natural teeth or any surrounding tissue.  Dentures can either be full or partial, replacing all teeth on the top or bottom gum line or a few that are sequentially missing. Full dentures are custom-designed prosthetics that fit your mouth. Partial dentures are tailored to match your existing teeth visually. Loose dentures can also be attached to implants to help retain the denture in your mouth while eating or speaking.
