Limited/Comprehensive Exams
Our dental team thoroughly examines your entire mouth, including the teeth and gums, for any signs of infection, decay, or damage. We also check the condition of your fillings, bridges, crown, or other restorations.
Oral Cancer Screenings
During an examination, we look for signs of oral cancer on your lips, tongue, gums, and other tissue. When we detect oral cancer early, you have the greatest chance of resolving it while it’s small and quick to remove. Otherwise, it could develop into an expensive problem that will cost you your gums, teeth, bone, and other tissue.
Biannual Cleaning (ADA-recommended)
During a biannual cleaning, we remove the plaque and tartar that accumulated on your teeth. Our team will also thoroughly floss and polish your teeth for a smooth and clean finish.
Periodontal Gum Therapy (Support Oral Systemic Health)
Your gum health is linked to your heart health, as well as the condition of other areas of your body. Periodontal disease can also result in losing teeth, bone, and other tissue. What is a periodontist? Our team provides effective periodontal assessments and care to resolve the infection and irritation of gum disease.
Digital X-Rays
With digital X-rays, you get a high-definition image of your oral cavity without having to use uncomfortable bitewings and other components of conventional X-rays. We also use substantially less radiation in the process, which means better safety for patients of any age.
Going Out of Our Way for Your Comfort
Our dental team is ready to help you maintain a clean and healthy mouth. Besides regular at-home care like brushing and flossing, you need to stay current on routine dental care at our office. Cleanings twice a year allow us to remove any built-up residue from your teeth to help prevent issues like decay and gum disease, and exams give us a chance to spot damage and disease while it’s in its early stages. With proper care for your teeth, gums, and mouth, you can maintain a healthy smile for a lifetime. When it’s time for treatment by a dental professional, give us a call and schedule an appointment.
