Cleanings and Prevention

  • Dental Exams and Cleanings

    Examination of diagnostic x-rays (radiographs):

    Oral cancer screening

    Gum disease evaluation

    Examination of tooth decay

    Examination of existing restorations

    Removal of calculus (tartar)

    Removal of plaque

    Teeth polishing

  • Digital Dental Xrays

    Dental radiographs (x-rays) are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. Dentists and dental hygienists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and complete an accurate treatment plan. Without x-rays, problem areas may go undetected.

    Dental x-rays may reveal:

    Abscesses or cysts.

    Bone loss.

    Cancerous and non-cancerous tumors.

    Decay between the teeth.

    Developmental abnormalities.

    Poor tooth and root positions.

    Problems inside a tooth or below the gum line.

  • Home Care

    A beautiful, healthy smile that lasts a lifetime is our ultimate goal when treating patients. Your personal home care plays an important role in achieving that goal. Your personal home care starts by eating balanced meals, reducing the number of snacks you eat, and correctly using the various dental aids that help control the plaque and bacteria that cause dental disease.

  • CBCT

    Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) provides a 3-D image of your teeth/jaws. This differs from the conventional 2-D x-ray. This aids in the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment planning of certain orofacial conditions in 3-Dimentional aspect.

Cleanings & Prevention

A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions.

Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet.  It is continued in the dental office by the efforts of your dentist and dental hygienist to promote, restore, and maintain your oral health.

Prevention also includes regular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays. Sealants and fluoride are also great preventive treatments that help protect the teeth.

Prevention helps avoid serious and costly dental problems and is the key to having a healthy, confident, beautiful smile.
