Cleaning & Checkup
Routine cleaning and exams help prevent problems and detect them early, so treating them is faster, more comfortable, and more affordable.
Routine Cleaning
Prevent costly procedures, disease and discomfort by coming in for a regular check-up and cleaning. As a part of your routine visit, we will check your gums to ensure that they are healthy. In some cases, further treatment may be needed to restore your gum health. Regular visits keep your teeth and gums healthy and will maintain your smile for a lifetime.
DIAGNOdent
DIAGNOdent detects the slightest amount of tooth decay immediately and painlessly. Using a harmless laser beam, DIAGNOdent locates tooth decay in the pits and fissures on your teeth before they are noticeable to the naked eye.
DIAGNOdent is calibrated specifically to you, and it only takes a few minutes to scan your entire mouth. This technology allows us to protect and preserve tooth structure and fix a cavity before it becomes more difficult and costly to repair.
Digital X-Rays
Our office uses digital x-ray technology, which reduces the amount of time it takes to develop x-rays, as well as using 80% less radiation than standard X-rays.
Flouride Treatments
Regular fluoride treatments strengthen the mineral in your tooth enamel, which helps prevent decay. Fluoride varnish is applied with a small brush instead of the old method of fluoride trays. After treatments, your teeth will be stronger and more resistant to acid and bacteria that can weaken your teeth. It may also reverse demineralization in some cases. Many patients with gum recession, toothbrush abrasion, and generalized sensitivity have noticed an improvement after fluoride treatments.
