We take a conservative approach to dentistry and highly recommend investing in preventive dental care. This helps ward off more extensive restorative treatments further down the road. From additional protection against cavities to customized oral appliances, we provide a number of services to keep your smile in its best shape.
PROTECT YOUR SMILE
If you or your little one are involved in contact sports, a custom athletic mouthguard can help protect you from unexpected dental trauma. Mouthguards place a protective barrier between the teeth and any moving objects to help avoid broken or knocked-out teeth. The customized fit offers better protection than generic, over-the-counter mouthguards.
For those who struggle with grinding their teeth at night, a custom nightguard can help you achieve a better night’s sleep. Grinding your teeth at night can lead to both gum recession and irreversible damage to your teeth. Nightguards work to prevent this damage by placing a layer of durable plastic between your top and bottom arches.
Fluoride is a natural mineral proven to strengthen your enamel and fight against cavities. It’s often found in toothpaste, mouthwash, and even your tap water. After your biannual cleaning, we can apply your fluoride treatment in the form of a highly concentrated varnish, gel, or mouthwash to provide you with greater protection.
Early detection of oral cancer greatly increases your chances of curing it. At each routine exam, we’ll perform an oral cancer screening to check for any precancerous signs and perform further tests if necessary. It’s critical to visit our office every six months to ensure these screenings are performed regularly.
Sealants are a thin layer of plastic material used to lock out cavity-causing bacteria and create a shield over your teeth. After your cleaning, we will paint the dental sealant onto the back molars—where your teeth are most susceptible to cavities. While sealants are most often used on children, they are applicable to patients of all ages.
