Preventative Dentistry
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Dental problems worsen over time without treatment. Modern dentistry offers accessible preventive solutions that can save you time, discomfort, and money in the long run.
Preventive Procedures
Professional Cleanings
There's just no substitute for physically removing disease-causing dental plaque and calculus (tartar) from your teeth — especially in hard-to-reach areas near the gum line.
Dental Sealants
Invisible plastic coatings fill grooves in back teeth, preventing bacterial colonies and cavities. They provide years of protection with easy application.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride strengthens tooth structure and increases decay resistance. It can even reverse early cavity formation.
Laser Decay Diagnosis
Uses laser light to detect early tooth decay before cavities develop, allowing for earlier and less invasive treatment.
Custom Mouthguards
Custom athletic guards absorb impact forces, protecting mouth tissues. Estimated to prevent more than 200,000 injuries each year.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Your best chance of surviving oral cancer is early detection and treatment. Screenings are a routine component of your exam.
Digital X-Rays
Reveal signs of disease not visible to the naked eye, with up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays.
Your Role in Prevention
These procedures can only be effective if you come in to the dental office. Daily effective brushing and flossing will go a long way toward removing the dental plaque responsible for dental disease.
