General Dental Services
Scale and clean
A professional scale and clean is a crucial part of maintaining oral health and preventing dental issues. During this routine procedure, our dental hygienists use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and gums. This helps to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems. We recommend scheduling this treatment every six months to ensure optimal oral hygiene..
Mouth Guards
Protecting your teeth is essential, especially if you participate in sports or grind your teeth at night. Our custom-made mouth guards provide a comfortable, effective solution for safeguarding your oral health. Whether you need a mouth guard for sports-related protection or a night guard to prevent teeth grinding (bruxism), we’ll create a custom fit designed to reduce discomfort, prevent injury, and ensure better overall dental health.
Periodontal / Surgical Clean
For patients with more advanced gum disease, a periodontal or surgical clean may be required. This deep cleaning treatment goes beyond a standard scale and clean, addressing infection and inflammation below the gum line. Using specialized tools, we thoroughly clean the roots of your teeth, removing plaque and tartar that regular cleaning can’t reach. In cases of severe gum disease, surgical intervention may be required to ensure your gums are treated effectively to prevent further damage and promote healing.
Desensitizing Gum Treatment
If you suffer from tooth sensitivity, especially when consuming hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks, our desensitizing gum treatment can provide relief. This non-invasive procedure involves the application of a specialized desensitizing agent to your teeth and gums that helps block pain signals and reduce sensitivity. A desensitizing gum treatment can help you experience a comfortable eating and drinking experience.
Extractions
While we always strive to save natural teeth whenever possible, there are situations where tooth extraction is necessary. Whether due to severe decay, infection, or overcrowding, our skilled team performs extractions with precision and care. We provide thorough post-extraction care instructions to promote healing and prevent complications. After an extraction, implants or bridges may be recommended to restore function and aesthetics.
Night Splints
Night splints are often recommended for patients who suffer from jaw pain or teeth grinding (bruxism) during sleep. These custom-made devices are worn at night to reduce strain on the jaw muscles and protect your teeth from wear and damage. Night splints can alleviate discomfort associated with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders and help prevent long-term dental issues. If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn-down teeth, ask us about our night splint options for a more restful, pain-free sleep.
