Effective preventive dental care enhances your oral health and your general health. Oral hygiene at home, as well as professional cleanings, eliminate decay and periodontal disease. Regular exams provide an opportunity to check on oral health, taking care of minor problems before they become big.
Teeth Cleaning & Exams
It is no surprise that many patients tend to postpone their check-ups, especially with how hectic life gets. However, it is important to understand that missing appointments have long-term consequences that are much more costly with time and money. To ensure you do not run into such burdens, we recommend visiting us twice a year. In case any minor issues need attention, we will address them before they become big. Routine check-ups are pretty quick, only taking an hour, and we promise to make them as painless as possible.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride treatments are a key component of preventive dentistry, aimed at maintaining oral health and preventing future dental issues. A simple, non-invasive procedure, fluoride treatments help to retain the strength of your enamel. Following your cleaning, we’ll apply a gel or varnish rich in fluoride and ask you not to eat or drink anywhere for 30 minutes. Fluoride strengthens the enamel, making it more resistant to acids created by plaque, bacteria, and sugar-filled foods that cause cavities.
Sedation Options
Don’t let dental anxiety stand in the way of caring for your smile. Addressing dental anxiety is a crucial aspect of preventive dental care. We provide sedation options that help relieve stress and make it much easier for you to care for your dental needs regardless of their complexity. Get in touch with us today, and we will ensure that your sedation needs are covered confidently.
Periodontal Care
Gum disease, when not treated, can be detrimental not only to your oral health but to your overall health as well. Without treatment, one can suffer from gum recession, bone loss, or even tooth loss, which is why regular checkups are crucial. With our skilled team and various techniques such as deep scaling and root planing, we can put a stop to gum disease from ruining your smile. If your gums are inflamed or bleed easily, if you have persistent bad breath, sensitive teeth, or notice any changes in your bite, contact us today so we can help you regain a healthy smile.
Dental Emergencies
Painful and stressful as it may be, we can help with your dental emergency. First, take a deep breath and calm yourself. After that, call us to check if immediate care is required. It can be several things, such as a tooth that has been knocked out, a dental work or procedure you had done, or even a constant tooth pain. It is always wise to seek care rather than wondering whether your condition qualifies as a dental emergency. If you think you need care, call us, and we will arrange for you to see a professional as soon as possible.
Night Guards
Bruxism, also known as teeth grinding, is a subconscious action that occurs during sleep. A night guard is a great way to deal with bruxism as it helps relieve the symptoms by creating a protective barrier between the teeth, which helps prevent grinding damage during the night. Depending on how severe the bruxism is, the guards can be created using various materials. Softer materials are more comfortable and are better suited for more severe cases. Night guards are a valuable tool in preventive dentistry, helping to protect your teeth and maintain oral health.
Sports Guards
Sports guards are protective devices worn over the teeth and customized to prevent oral injuries during high-impact sports activities. Dentally traumatic collisions to the mouth, face, or head during gameplay in several sports can cause dental injuries. A custom sports guard helps you avoid chipping, cracking or knocking out your teeth. Comfortable and durable, sports guards are specially crafted to match your unique smile, allowing you to seamlessly play the sports you love.
A sports guard is essential for athletes engaged in football, basketball, baseball, soccer, rugby, hockey, gymnastics, mountain biking or any other sport with risks of falling, body contact, or flying objects.

Our Service Model
Recently, we have received numerous inquiries concerning the status of our insurance network. Let us explain how we go about things. We have not contracted with any insurance companies because, in our judgment, they limit the care we wish to provide. Being out-of-network enables us to concentrate on patient care, not insurance obligations. We help patients maximize their benefits, but not at the expense of the quality of care we are willing to give. Patients find our out-of-pocket costs comparable to network dentists, with superior care.
We do not allow procedures to be dictated by insurance plans at a lower cost, usually involving inferior materials. We suggest you use our offer to check coverage for the procedures before the work is done! We take care of the claims, and patients are reimbursed direct payments according to their out-of-network benefits. This makes it possible for us to continue providing thoughtful, patient-centered dentistry.
