Preventive Dentistry in Lake Mary, FL
Solid preventive care is the foundation for your oral and overall health. Good at-home hygiene habits, in combination with professional cleanings, can keep your smile free from decay and other oral health issues like gum disease. Regular exams allow us to monitor your oral health so you can address any minor concerns before they become larger, more costly, and more invasive issues.

Teeth Cleaning & Exams

We get it! It can be a bit too easy to put off your bi-annual dental exam, and we don’t blame you…life gets busy! But remember, skipping your appointments can cost even more time and money in the future. Coming in twice a year allows us to catch small issues before they become time-consuming, expensive problems. Regular check-ups only take about an hour, and we assure you that we will make it a comfortable process.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride treatments are one of the best ways to keep dental decay at bay. A simple, non-invasive procedure, fluoride treatments help to keep your enamel strong. After your cleaning, we’ll apply a fluoride-rich varnish or gel; we may ask you to refrain from eating or drinking anything for 30 minutes or so following your visit. Fluoride helps strengthen the enamel, making it more resistant to acids from plaque, bacteria, and sugary foods that cause cavities.

Sedation Options

Dental anxiety doesn’t have to stop you from getting the care you need for your smile. We’re happy to offer sedation options, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy painless, stress-free dental care, no matter the complexity of your treatment. If you’re interested in our sedation options, get in touch with us today, and we’ll find out what option will work best for you.

Periodontal Care

When left untreated, gum disease can have serious effects on your oral and overall health. Gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss can occur without proper treatment, so scheduling regular checkups for treatment is essential. Our team can keep gum disease from compromising your smile through a variety of periodontal treatments, such as deep cleanings (also known as scaling and root planing). If your gums are inflamed or bleed easily, if you have persistent bad breath, sensitive teeth, or notice any changes in your bite, get in touch with us today. We’ll schedule a consultation to get your smile back on a healthy path.

Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies can be painful, stressful experiences, but we’re here to help. If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, the first thing to do is take a deep breath and keep calm. Then, give us a call to find out if you need immediate care. Dental emergencies can be anything from a knocked-out tooth or dental work to a persistent toothache. If you’re unsure if what you’re experiencing qualifies as a dental emergency, it’s better to be safe than sorry, so get in touch with us right away so you can get the care you need when you need it.

Night Guards

Unconscious teeth grinding and clenching, known as bruxism, is a common issue that tends to happen at night while patients are asleep. Night guards can help alleviate the symptoms of bruxism by creating a barrier between your teeth, protecting them from grinding-related damage. Depending on the severity of the case, night guards can be made from several different materials with varying degrees of softness.

Sports Guards

Sports guards are worn over the teeth and are specifically designed to protect your mouth from oral trauma caused by high-impact sports. Many sports put players at risk for dental injuries caused by collisions to the mouth, face, or head, but a custom-fitted sports guard can help prevent you from chipping, cracking, or knocking out a tooth. Tailored to fit your unique smile, sports guards are both comfortable and durable, so you can play the sports you love without missing a beat.

A sports guard is essential if you’re an athlete who plays football, basketball, baseball, soccer, rugby, hockey, gymnastics, mountain biking, or if you participate in any other activities that put you at risk for injury due to falling, body contact, or flying objects.

Our Service Model

We have received several questions lately about our insurance network status. We want to explain our approach. To keep our patient’s best interest in mind, we have not partnered with insurance carriers because we feel they restrict the quality of care we want to provide. Staying out-of-network allows us to focus on patient care rather than insurance requirements. We assist patients in maximizing benefits, but will not compromise personalized attention and treatment options. Many of our patients discover their out-of-pocket costs with us are reasonably close to network dentists, while receiving superior care.

We will not let insurance plans dictate recommended procedures or use cheap materials. We encourage you to ask us to assess coverage for proposed treatments ahead of time! We submit all claims and patients are reimbursed based on out-of-network benefits. This model allows us to maintain our commitment to thoughtful, patient-focused dentistry.
