Preventive Dentistry

Dental Examination
Regular dental exams are the best way to preserve your teeth, gums, and overall dental hygiene/oral condition. It is an important part of maintaining oral health.

Dental Cleanings
Regular dental cleaning with a dental hygienist is one of the most important parts of dental care. A dental cleaning is removal of dental plaque and tartar (calculus) from the teeth. Specialized instruments are used to gently remove these deposits without harming the teeth.
A dental cleaning provides the following benefits:
– Helps prevent gum disease
– Discourages bacterial accumulation and promotes systemic health
– Leaves the teeth clean and smooth
– Reveals problem areas that need more attention during daily oral hygiene

Digital x-rays
We offer digital dental x-rays that reduce the amount of radiation needed as compared to film x-rays while still giving us clear results. The improved diagnostic capability of digital x-rays and the ability to view the x-rays on a computer screen allow the patient to better understand and follow treatment. Digital x-rays save time and increase patient care. A digital dental x-ray is included with your oral exam.
