Periodontal screenings

Periodontal disease, more commonly known as gum disease, has been linked to serious health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, stroke and some forms of cancer. We take a proactive approach and offer periodontal screenings on a regular basis.

Healthy gum tissue is the foundation for a disease-free, healthy mouth and smile. The goal of our periodontal screenings is to help you keep and maintain a happy, healthy smile that can last a lifetime.

Did you know that oral cancer is one of the most curable forms of cancer when it is caught early? For the health of you and your family, we routinely perform oral cancer screenings at each dental exam.

Signs & Symptoms of Gum Disease:

  • Spaces forming between teeth
  • Bleeding gums when you brush or floss
  • Food packing between teeth
  • Loose teeth
  • Redness or swelling of the gums

Dental Sealants

The chewing surfaces of your children’s teeth are the most susceptible to cavities because the little nooks and crannies hold food and bacteria. Dental sealants are made from a resin material that is applied on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, protecting the teeth from cavity-causing bacteria. Sealants along with proper diet and home care are the best way to prevent cavities from occurring in your children’s teeth and are applied completely pain-free.

Sleep Mouth Guards

Sleep mouth guards are custom fitted to help shield your teeth from wearing down and fracturing due to grinding and absorb your jaw’s muscle tension to prevent headaches and soreness. Our hypoallergenic vinyl mouth guards are custom fitted to your mouth and can have you waking up refreshed and relaxed everyday with undamaged teeth.

Athletic Mouth Guards

Athletic Mouth Guards are custom fitted to help protect teeth, lips and cheeks, as well as lessen serious injuries like concussion, tooth loss and other dental injuries commonly caused by sports. The mouth guards are made from hypoallergenic vinyl for resiliency and shock absorption. They are the best protection for your athlete’s mouth and can be properly fitted in two visits.
