Our Preventative Dentistry Services:

Comprehensive Exam

A comprehensive exam is a thorough evaluation of your overall oral health. During this visit, we assess your teeth, gums, jaw, bite alignment, and overall function, as well as screen for signs of disease of abnormalities. This allows us to detect concerns early and develop a customized plan to keep your smiles healthy long- term.

Digital X-Rays

Dental x-rays are a safe and essential diagnostic tool that allow our team to see areas of the mouth not visible during a routine exam. They help detect cavities, bone loss, infections and other underlying conditions early -often before symptoms develop- so treatment can be more effective and less invasive.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a specialized 3D imaging technology that provides highly detailed views of the teeth, jawbone, nerves and surrounding structures. This advanced scan allows for precise diagnosis and treatment planning, particularly for procedures such as dental implants, extractions and complex cases.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer screenings are an important part of your regular dental visit. During this exam, we carefully assess the soft tissues of the mouth, throat, and surrounding areas for any unusual changes, lesions, or abnormalities. The American Cancer Society estimates that over 60,000 People in the United States will be diagnosed with oral or throat cancer in 2026. Detecting oral cancer in its early stages significantly increases the chances of successful treatment.

Dental Sealants

By applying a thin, protective layer that works against bacteria to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, dental sealants are one of the best ways to help protect your teeth against cavities.

Night Guards

Night guards are custom-fitted oral appliances designed to protect your teeth from the effects of grinding and clenching (bruxism) during sleep. By creating a protective barrier, they help prevent enamel wear, cracks, and jaw strain, while also alleviating symptoms like morning headaches and jaw soreness.

Sports Mouthguards

A sports guard is a professionally crafted dental appliance worn during physical activity to protect the teeth, gums and jaw from injury. Custom-fitted for comfort and durability, sports guards help absorb shock and minimize the risk of fractures, tooth loss and damage to soft tissues.
