- Patient Education – You’ll receive all the information you need to make informed decisions about your dental care, including tips for brushing and flossing at home.
- Regular Cleanings & Exams – Professional cleanings every six months help you maintain a beautiful, fresh smile and optimal oral health. Regular examinations identify problems at their earliest and most treatable stages.
- Sealants – The back teeth have numerous grooves which are difficult to cleanse of food particles and bacterial plaque. As a result, decay can start in these areas even with a meticulous dental hygiene program. Application of dental sealants is painless and non-invasive and is extremely effective at preventing cavities.
- Fluoride – Regular topical fluoride strengthens teeth and is effective in preventing and reversing early signs of tooth decay.
- Mouthguards – Grinding and clenching is a major cause of tooth loss. The damage, frequently unrecognized, can be severe, requiring extensive rehabilitation. A customized guard (also called a splint or night guard) is an effective way to prevent damage to teeth, jaw joints and muscles.
- Sports Mouthguards – A mouthguard is a cushioned appliance that fits over the dental arch to help prevent tooth injury during contact sports. Our mouthguards are custom-made and provide increased retention and protection over the “boil & bite” type.
