How Often Should I Visit The Dentist?

A healthy mouth is associated with your overall well-being, so we recommend visiting our offices at least twice a year to keep your teeth and gums as healthy as can be and to detect and treat issues as early as possible. Preventive dentistry is an essential part of maintaining good oral hygiene.

Advanced Diagnostic & Imaging Technology

Our dentists strive to devote our resources to give you a timely diagnosis in hopes of detecting early signs of dental issues before they develop into worse problems. We invest in the latest technology including our digital x-rays, 3-D x-rays (CBCT), and iTero 5D Digital Scanner to detect tooth decay, bone loss, cysts, and tumors, as well as for determining tooth and root positions.

A few of the benefits of our state-of-the-art technology include:

• Digital X-Ray Imaging – a digital dental radiograph is a device that uses electronic sensors to capture precise x-ray images. Unlike traditional x-ray films, digital x-rays can produce higher resolution imaging for more accurate diagnosing.
• 3-D X-Ray Imaging (CBCT Machine) – CBCT scanning provides incredible resolution to help us pinpoint and measure the exact location of your condition, prior to dental procedures. It can be used to asses bone quality and determine any lesions or breaks, as well as limits and reduces the amount of radiation exposure on patients.
• Ultrasonic Cleaning – ultrasonic cleaners are designed to remove microorganisms and other small debris from less accessible surfaces. Our utilization of ultrasonic technology routinely helps us to thoroughly clean surgical and dental instruments prior to surgeries and procedures to ensure nothing is contaminated.
• Near-Infared Imaging – this is a great option for patients who want to reduce their exposure to radiation. This technology provides a comfortable, and safer diagnosis.

Some of the other general dentistry services available at our office include:

• Fluoride Treatments –In-office fluoride treatments provide a high concentration of fluoride, which can help to further protect your teeth against cavities and decay. They are quick and easy, and they can make a big difference in your oral health.
• Sealants –Dental sealants are a thin coating that fill in the grooves and pits on your teeth, which are difficult to clean with regular brushing and flossing. They can be made from plastic or other dental materials. Sealants are a simple and effective way to keep your teeth healthy and strong.
• Athletic Mouthguards – Athletic Mouthguards are an important piece of safety gear for anyone participating in a collision or contact sport. They are made from different materials, including latex-free rubber, vinyl, silicone, and polyurethane. The American Dental Association recommends mouthguards to everyone who participates in a sport that could cause mouth or dental injury.
• Nightguards – Nightguards are similar to retainers. They hold your teeth together in their correct position and evenly distribute any force placed on them by clenching or grinding. By covering your teeth, the nightguard prevents tooth wear, cracks, gum recession, and tooth movement.
