Adult Cleanings
Regular dental cleanings for adults are essential to remove plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to gum disease and tooth decay. Our gentle and thorough cleanings help maintain your oral health and keep your smile bright.
Oral Cancer Screenings
We conduct thorough oral cancer screenings as part of our routine dental health assessments. Early detection is key to successful treatment, making regular screenings an essential part of preventive care.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and fights cavities. Our fluoride treatments are quick and painless and can significantly benefit dental health, particularly for children.
Custom Mouth Guards
For those who play sports or suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding), we offer custom-fitted mouth guards to protect teeth from damage and prevent injuries.
Pediatric Cleanings
Children have unique dental needs, and early visits to the dentist can set the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health. Our pediatric cleanings are designed to be comfortable and fun, reducing anxiety and teaching children the importance of dental care.
Behavioral Counseling
We offer behavioral counseling to help patients understand and modify oral health behaviors that can lead to dental issues, such as smoking or clenching and grinding of teeth.
Oral Hygiene Education
We provide personalized oral hygiene education to empower patients with the knowledge and tools they need to maintain optimal oral health at home.
Periodontal Cleanings
For patients experiencing signs of gum disease, periodontal cleanings go beyond standard cleanings. These deep cleanings target the area beneath the gum line to remove hardened plaque and help restore gum health.
Nutritional Counseling
Nutrition plays a significant role in oral health. Our nutritional counseling services help patients make food choices that support healthy teeth and gums.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants provide a protective shield over the enamel of the teeth where decay most often occurs. This preventative treatment is especially beneficial for children and teenagers.
