Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Biannual dental checkups and cleanings can set you up for success by looking for common problems, such as cavities and gum disease, and giving your smile the proper cleaning it deserves. Our team will use digital imaging and visual examinations to identify any abnormalities or concerns, then use high-grade products and proven techniques to effectively remove hardened plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums. You’ll leave with a refreshed, healthier smile you can appreciate.
Children’s Dentistry
Children’s dentistry includes age-appropriate services that are designed to help young patients maintain a healthy smile as they grow. From regular examinations that allow for early detection of decay and cavities to close monitoring of oral and facial development, our dentists will offer guidance and professional care to keep your child’s growing smile healthy and ready for each new stage in life. From infancy to adolescence, we’ll make sure their smile stays on track.
Dental Sealants
Our team believes that preventing cavities is always better than treating them, which is why we offer dental sealants to protect molars and premolars. Children’s back teeth are often the hardest to reach when brushing, and their various crevices make it easy for food and bacteria to become trapped. Until your child is old enough to brush all their teeth properly, we can apply dental sealants to these chewing surfaces, creating a protective barrier and lowering their risk of cavities for up to 10 years.
Fluoride Treatment
Instead of hoping that your child will not develop cavities as they grow, offer them greater protection by allowing us to administer fluoride treatment during their next dental checkup. This topical application not only combats tooth decay but also strengthens existing enamel. As a natural mineral commonly found in water sources, foods, and toothpaste brands, fluoride offers your child’s teeth an added layer of protection, reducing their need for restorative treatment in the future.
Nightguards for Bruxism
With a custom nightguard, your teeth will no longer experience unnecessary pressure that wears them down over time. Instead, they will remain fully protected against chips, cracks, and fractures caused by teeth grinding and clenching. Our team can craft a customized nightguard for you to wear while you sleep, serving as a cushioned barrier to prevent your upper and lower arches from coming into contact. As a result, you’ll enjoy better rest and a damage-free smile.
