Protect and Perfect Your Smile with Preventive Dentistry

Good oral hygiene and proper nutrition go a long way in protecting your teeth, but they can’t replace the care of a dentist. That’s why we provide a range of preventive services to support your at-home routine:

• Dental cleanings: Visiting our office every six months for dental cleanings is one of the best ways to prevent gum disease, bad breath, and tooth decay. Our dental hygienist removes plaque and surface stains from areas your toothbrush misses. 
• Dental exams: We combine leading-edge technology with years of experience to spot dental issues that may have escaped your notice at home. Early detection ensures prompt intervention, saving you time and money. 
• Oral cancer screenings: At least one American dies every hour because of oral cancer. Although life-threatening, we can stop the menace of oral cancer with routine screenings. A simple, non-invasive exam can detect mouth cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage. 
• Dental sealants: These plastic, colorless coatings lock out harmful bacteria, protecting vulnerable teeth against decay. The application is quick and non-invasive, and the results last several years with good upkeep.
• Fluoride treatments: This preventive step strengthens your enamel against future tooth decay. Applying fluoride is comfortable and straightforward, like sealants, yet the benefits are long-lasting. 
• Patient education: We take the time to educate you on the best practices for maintaining your teeth and gums at home. Well-informed patients take control of their oral health in between visits and beyond.

Everything we do centers on preventive dental care because it’s the cheapest, most effective way to maintain a healthy smile. Here are some reasons why you should prioritize preventive dental care. 

• Prevention: At-home oral hygiene and professional visits prevent the onset, recurrence, or progression of gum disease, tooth decay, and other issues. 
• Keep your smile bright and confident: Professional cleanings remove stains and plaque buildup to restore your smile’s radiance.
• It’s cost-effective: Preventing dental problems is much cheaper than treating them with fillings, crowns, root canals, and periodontal care.
• Improved systemic health: There is an undeniable link between oral and systemic wellness. Oral conditions like periodontal disease can trigger cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and respiratory infections. Preventive dentistry helps safeguard this oral-systemic link.
