Quality Care For All Ages
Every stage of life presents different dental challenges, and our team is experienced in addressing them all. We offer a range of services designed to meet the needs of children, adults, and seniors, ensuring that your family’s oral health is well taken care of. Our family dentistry services focus on:
- Children: We help kids develop healthy oral hygiene habits and provide treatments like sealants and fluoride to protect their developing teeth.
- Adults: With regular cleanings, exams, and preventative care, we help adults maintain healthy teeth and gums; we also offer restorative and cosmetic treatments as needed.
- Seniors: Our team will address concerns like tooth loss, gum disease, and dry mouth while offering restorative options such as dental implants and dentures.
We take the time to understand each patient’s needs and provide personalized treatment to keep their smiles healthy and strong.
Cleanings & Exams
Regular cleanings and exams form the backbone of preventative dental care. These routine visits help ensure that your family’s smiles remain healthy and free from serious dental issues. During these appointments, we:
- Thoroughly clean your teeth to remove plaque and tartar buildup.
- Perform a detailed examination to check for cavities, gum disease, or other oral health concerns.
- Provide personalized oral hygiene tips to improve your at-home care routine.
Preventative care like cleanings and exams is essential for avoiding more complex and costly treatments later on.
Digital X-Rays
Our practice uses cutting-edge digital X-ray technology to provide accurate, detailed images of your teeth and gums with minimal radiation exposure. This advanced tool allows us to:
- Detect problems like cavities, impacted teeth, or infections that aren’t visible during a standard exam.
- Create a more comprehensive treatment plan based on precise imaging.
- Ensure early detection of issues before they progress into larger problems.
Digital X-rays are faster and safer than traditional X-rays, making them an ideal choice for the whole family.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer can develop without obvious symptoms, which is why early detection is key to effective treatment. During your routine exams, we conduct oral cancer screenings to identify any suspicious lesions or abnormalities. This screening includes:
- A thorough visual and physical examination of your mouth, lips, and throat.
- Identification of any unusual lumps, sores, or discolorations.
- Early detection, which is crucial to successful treatment outcomes.
We make oral cancer screenings a part of your regular checkups to safeguard your long-term health.
Sealants
Sealants are a simple, painless way to protect teeth from decay, especially for children. We recommend applying sealants to the back molars, where cavities are most likely to form. The material is a liquid barrier that, upon drying, creates a protective layer over the grooves and crevices of the tooth, preventing food particles and bacteria from getting trapped. Sealants:
- Prevent acids or food particles from contacting the chewing surfaces of teeth.
- Help avoid cavities in hard-to-clean areas.
- Last for several years, providing long-term protection.
This treatment is especially beneficial for children, but adults can also benefit from sealants in some cases.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatments are a key component of preventive care. They work by strengthening the enamel on your teeth, making them more resistant to cavities. We offer fluoride treatments for both children and adults to:
- Help prevent tooth decay by remineralizing weakened enamel.
- Provide added protection between dental visits.
- Offer an easy, quick, and effective treatment to keep your smile strong.
Regular fluoride treatments are a simple way to protect your family’s oral health.
Sports Mouth Guards
If your family is active in sports, protecting teeth from injury is essential. Custom-made sports mouth guards offer the best fit and protection compared to store-bought versions. Our sports mouth guards:
- Protect teeth, gums, and jaws from impact during athletic activities.
- Are custom-fitted for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
- Reduce the risk of broken teeth or dental injuries.
These mouth guards are especially important for children and teens involved in contact sports
Night Guards
Grinding or clenching your teeth at night can cause discomfort and lead to dental problems like worn enamel, jaw pain, or broken teeth. We offer custom night guards designed to:
- Protect your teeth from the effects of grinding (bruxism).
- Relieve symptoms like headaches or jaw discomfort.
- Help you sleep more comfortably without damaging your teeth.
Custom night guards are a simple, effective solution to protect your smile.
TMD Treatment
Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) affects the joints connecting your jaw to your skull, leading to discomfort and difficulty with jaw movement. We offer several treatment options for TMD, including:
- Oral appliance therapy: Custom mouth guards or splints to relieve pressure on the jaw joint.
- Physical therapy: Exercises and techniques to improve jaw function and reduce discomfort.
- Surgical options: For severe cases, surgery may be required to correct underlying joint issues.
Our team will assess your condition and recommend the best treatment to relieve your symptoms and improve your jaw function.
Practicing Prevention With Oral Hygiene Basics
Maintaining good oral hygiene is the key to preventing most dental issues. We believe in educating our patients on the basics of oral hygiene, including:
- Proper brushing and flossing techniques.
- The importance of a balanced diet for oral health.
- How to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other common problems.
We’ll guide you on how to keep your family’s smiles healthy between visits with simple, effective strategies.
