Preventative Treatment

Dental Sealants

Dental Sealants

Placing sealants is a simple dental procedure which has been shown to greatly reduce cavity risk in the grooves of back teeth by 70%. Sealants are impenetrable to food particles and plaque and are very beneficial to both children and adults.

Digital X-Rays

Because your safety, comfort, and convenience is important to us, we use advanced Digital X-Ray technology in our office to detect dental issues that cannot be found during a visual exam. Digital X-Rays provide high quality detailed images instantly and emit less radiation than traditional film X-Rays.

Professional Fluoride

Professional Fluoride

Professional topical fluoride treatment helps strengthen the tooth’s enamel, making it more resistant to acids and bacteria. It is a very safe effective agent for preventing tooth decay. Fluoride has been shown to reduce cavity risk by 75% and can even reduce tooth sensitivity on roots that are exposed due to gum recession, clenching and grinding.

Gum Measurements

Gum Measurements

If you have a small cavity, we treat the tooth by removing the decayed part and replacing it with a filling to restore it to its natural form and function. This prevents further decay and helps avoid a root canal, crown or extraction.

Intraoral Camera

Intraoral Camera

Like Digital X-Rays, digital photographs with our intraoral camera are a useful diagnostic and patient education tool. Through the use of a tiny camera attached to a hand-held wand, we can show you incredibly clear pictures of your teeth and gums.
