Routine Hygiene Treatments
Professional hygiene treatments are essential to maintaining a healthy and vibrant smile. During your visit, our licensed hygienists carefully remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that brushing and flossing alone can’t eliminate. These treatments help prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath while leaving your teeth feeling fresh and polished. We use gentle techniques and advanced tools to ensure your experience is both comfortable and effective.

Comprehensive Exams
Regular dental exams are your first line of defense against oral health issues. Our comprehensive evaluations include checking for cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer, as well as assessing the overall health of your teeth, gums, and jaw. By identifying potential problems early, we can recommend timely treatments to preserve your smile. Each exam is tailored to your individual needs, ensuring we address your unique concerns.

Digital X-Rays
Our advanced digital X-rays provide a clear and detailed view of your teeth and jaw, enabling us to detect issues that may not be visible during a routine exam. These X-rays emit significantly less radiation than traditional methods, ensuring your safety while delivering precise results. From identifying cavities hidden between teeth to detecting impacted teeth or bone loss, digital imaging allows us to develop the most effective treatment plans for your oral health.

Oral Hygiene Guidance
A strong at-home oral care routine is the foundation of a healthy smile. Our team provides personalized tips and demonstrations to improve your brushing, flossing, and overall hygiene habits. We’ll recommend the best tools and techniques based on your specific needs, whether it’s choosing the right toothbrush, addressing sensitive gums, or incorporating additional steps like mouthwash or interdental brushes. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to maintain excellent oral health between visits.

Scaling & Root Planing
For patients with periodontitis and gum disease, scaling and root planing provide an effective deep-cleaning solution. Scaling involves removing plaque and tartar buildup from above and below the gumline, while root planing smooths the tooth roots to prevent bacteria from reattaching. This treatment not only helps eliminate infection but also promotes gum healing and prevents further damage. It’s a proactive step to restore the health of your gums and protect your teeth from future complications.
