Patient Education

You’ll receive all the information you need to make informed decisions about your dental care, including tips for brushing and flossing at home.

Regular Cleanings & Exams

Professional cleanings on a timely basis help you maintain a beautiful, fresh smile and optimal oral health. Regular examinations identify problems at their earliest and most treatable stages.

Sealants

The back teeth (molars) have numerous pits and grooves which are difficult to cleanse of food particles and bacterial plaque. As a result, decay can easily start in these areas even with meticulous dental hygiene. Application of dental sealants is painless and non-invasive and is extremely effective at preventing cavities.

Fluoride

Topical fluoride strengthens teeth and is effective at preventing and reversing early signs of tooth decay.

Grinding & Clenching

Grinding and clenching is a major cause of tooth loss. Patients are frequently unaware of this nocturnal habit and the damage done can be severe, requiring extensive rehabilitation. A customized guard (also called a splint or night guard) is an effective way to prevent damage to your teeth, jaw joints, and muscles.

Mouthguards

A mouthguard is a cushioned appliance that fits over the dental arch to help prevent tooth injury and concussions during contact sports. Our mouthguards are custom-made and provide increased retention and protection over the “boil & bite” type.
