General & Preventive Care

Everyone, young or old, can benefit from a beautiful, healthy smile, to help them feel confident and successful.  When you visit our practice, you can be sure you will receive the most comprehensive range of general and preventive dental care and education available.

We recommend two visits per year, and a comprehensive examination and cleaning during every visit.  During your visits, we’ll also review your health history for any changes such as medications that you might be taking, which can affect your dental health, and how we treat certain dental problems.

 If you have not had dental x-rays taken within the last year or two, we’ll take a new set using our state of the art digital x-ray system and determine if you have experienced any changes in your teeth or gums, which can affect your oral health. Digital X-rays allow us to see a better image than traditional film radiography, with significantly less radiation exposure to you. We may also use a “diagnodent” to look for cavities. The diagnodent laser aids in the detection of cavities. Even very small cavities can be found at the earliest stage, enabling you to protect and preserve the tooth structure.

Our Dental Hygienists are experts in patient education and treatment of periodontal or gum related problems.  Preventive periodontal therapy has helped many patients resolve periodontal disease and prevent more serious problems in the future.
