Dental Checkups & Cleanings

Dental checkups and cleanings every six months help you enjoy a healthier smile year-round through the thorough examinations provided by our talented team. After checking for signs of early problems and discussing potential treatment options, we will provide a professional cleaning to remove built-up plaque and tartar, helping keep teeth and gums healthier between appointments.

Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease treatment with scaling and root planing and Arestin antibiotic therapy eliminates harmful bacteria and infection, leaving your smile (and body) in better shape. By targeting dangerous particles that attack these soft oral tissues, we can reduce symptoms and prevent potential bone and tooth loss. We can also minimize possible issues that can develop throughout the body, including the brain and heart.

Fluoride Treatment

As nature’s cavity fighter, fluoride treatment offers an additional barrier against harmful bacteria so you and your family can enjoy cavity-free smiles. Applied during a regular dental checkup, this painless process takes only minutes but offers optimal defense by penetrating the surface and remineralizing existing enamel. When combined with fluoride toothpaste and drinking fluoridated water, your teeth will remain better protected.

Dental Sealants

Teeth located in the back of the mouth can remain free of cavities and decay, thanks to dental sealants. Commonly used on young smiles that are still learning how to brush properly, these clear coatings prevent bacteria and food debris from entering the pits and grooves of chewing teeth. As a result, teeth remain healthier for up to 10 years.

Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards

Avid athletes can expect greater peace of mind from the custom-made athletic mouthguards we provide. Our team can have a cushioned barrier crafted to fit comfortably for the big game. Instead of your child or teenager experiencing a dental emergency, they can continue to play with confidence, knowing their mouthguard will deliver optimal protection against significant impacts.

Nightguards for Bruxism

Enamel erosion no longer needs to be a concern when wearing a customized nightguard for bruxism. Our team can craft a cushioned oral device you can wear while you sleep so your teeth do not grind or clench throughout the night. Instead of being applied to your pearly whites, the pressure will be redirected to the nightguard, ensuring your smile receives the protection it needs.

TMJ Treatment

Chronic jaw pain can be alleviated with the help of TMJ treatment in the form of custom occlusal splints and occlusal adjustments. Whether it’s a misaligned bite or an improper jaw position causing intense discomfort and daily struggles, these two effective treatment options can improve your quality of life.
