Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Routine dental checkups and cleanings are the very foundation of maintaining a lifelong healthy, vibrant smile. During these visits, our team will perform a comprehensive oral examination to ensure that things look as they should, followed by a detailed cleaning using specialized instruments and products to ensure that any hidden areas of plaque and tartar are thoroughly removed. We’ll also check for any concerning signs or symptoms, such as those related to oral cancer – though deadly, this form of cancer is highly treatable if detected early on.
Children’s Dentistry
Dental wellness begins at a young age – even before all of the teeth have arrived! This means that starting your child off on the right foot concerning their dental care is a fairly important responsibility, and our team is more than happy to help. We can even treat your child alongside you! Whether they need a routine checkup and cleaning, a dental sealant on one or more of their teeth, or an athletic mouthguard to protect their smile whenever they’re on the field or playing outside, we’re ready to set their smile up for a bright future.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that’s found in most oral hygiene products, as well as many local water supplies, due to its unique oral health benefits. It’s capable of remineralizing the enamel layer of your teeth, which cannot heal on its own. Following your routine checkup and cleaning, we can administer a topical fluoride treatment to your teeth in the form of a gel or varnish. This process is quick, non-invasive, and very much safe – and better yet, it’s certain to provide an additional layer of protection for your pearly whites, helping them to better resist issues like tooth decay.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Bruxism is a condition that refers to when patients unknowingly grind their teeth or clench their jaws, and it most often occurs during the nighttime. The condition can cause damage to the enamel layer of the teeth, as well as place tension and strain on the muscles and ligaments surrounding your jaw joints. Our office can provide you with a custom-made nightguard to counteract this condition; these devices are designed to hold your jaw open in a proper position and ensure that your teeth aren’t coming into unfavorable contact with each other as you sleep.
TMJ Treatment
Your temporomandibular joints, commonly referred to as “TMJ,” are the joints responsible for connecting your jawbones to the rest of your skull, and they have the important job of granting your mouth a full range of motion. However, they are also subject to a variety of issues that aren’t just uncomfortable; they can also threaten the teeth. Thankfully, there are many effective and non-invasive ways of relieving these TMJ issues, including BOTOX injections, equilibration, occlusal adjustments, and splints.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Do you constantly wake up feeling sluggish or tired? Has your partner recently let you know that your snoring has gotten pretty loud and constant? Believe it or not, these might be signs of sleep apnea, a condition that affects millions of people across the world and impacts their nightly rest. And though it might not sound like a big deal, this condition can also place quite a bit of strain on other bodily systems, including your cardiovascular and respiratory systems, meaning that your overall health is at major risk. Our team can provide patients with sleep apnea with an effective means of managing their symptoms in the form of a custom-made oral device. Worn during the nighttime and notably more comfortable than CPAP therapy, these appliances ensure proper airflow which in turn promotes excellent, quality rest.
