We believe that your dental health and your overall well-being are closely linked, which is why preventive dental care is so important. The American Dental Association recommends regular dental visits every six months; with these family dentist visits, we can closely monitor the health of your teeth and gums, preventing potential dental problems and the need for restorative dentistry procedures and ensuring that your beautiful smile lasts a lifetime.

Biannual oral examinations are essential when it comes to identifying potential problems before they compromise your health. During your oral health evaluation, the doctor will inspect your mouth, head, and neck for abnormal growths or lesions. When needed, we will also take imaging to give us a more complete view of your teeth and jaw.

As part of your routine preventative dentistry visits, your teeth will be cleaned to remove deposits of plaque and tartar. Once these deposits are removed, your teeth will be polished to create a smooth surface that makes it harder for new plaque to accumulate. Thorough cleanings are critical for preventing gum disease and tooth decay.

Fluoride is a natural substance that helps strengthen teeth and prevent decay. Fluoride treatments are administered at this office as an important component of pediatric dental treatment. Fluoride is especially valuable while permanent teeth are coming in, when the enamel is still developing. The fluoride is applied to the teeth in a gel, foam, or varnish form.

Custom-made athletic mouth guards are a must for children and adults who are involved in sports. These mouth guards provide the best possible protection from injury because they’re fitted to the teeth and jaw and made with a more comfortable material than the mouth guards sold online and in stores. We fit athletic mouth guards for the entire family, from youth leagues to adult recreational play.

Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical procedure used to treat gum disease. During the scaling process, specialized dental instruments are used to remove dental plaque and calculus from beneath the gums. Planing is the procedure used to smooth the tooth roots after the scaling process. Root planing helps the gums heal and reattach themselves to a cleaner and smoother root surface. Treating gum disease early also helps you avoid missing teeth and the restorative dentistry needed to replace them.

Dry mouth isn’t just uncomfortable. A lack of saliva leaves you more susceptible to tooth decay. Your dentist will help diagnose the cause of dry mouth and suggest over-the-counter products that can provide relief.

Yes, a professional dental cleaning cannot be replicated by brushing at home. When plaque hardens on the teeth, it turns into a substance called tartar—and tartar can only be removed using professional tools. When tartar is not removed regularly, it may begin to cause tooth decay and gum disease, compromising healthy smiles.

For most patients, seeing the dentist every six months is sufficient. Some patients, particularly those with gum disease, may need to visit the dentist more often for monitoring, dental medicine, and oral health maintenance.

A typical appointment for an exam and dental cleaning is 45-60 minutes, depending on the condition of your teeth. If it’s been a while since you’ve last seen the family dentist, your dental services appointment may be slightly longer.

We welcome all patients to our practice. Whether it’s because of dental anxiety, life circumstances, or a busy schedule, we’ll never judge you for lapses in dental care—instead, we’re simply happy you’ve chosen to see us. Your family dentist will work with you to get you back on track so you can smile proudly again.

Yes, dental cleanings performed by your general dentist and dental team can remove mild staining from your teeth, leaving you with a whiter, brighter smile. If you have significant stains or yellowing, you will likely need teeth whitening treatments in order to achieve noticeably whiter teeth.
