Services
Child and adult cleanings and exams
The Preventive Care page states preventative dental cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and stains, and that exams allow providers to check for any cavities or oral health issues. During an exam the site states the integrity of existing dental work is evaluated, the gums are examined, bite alignment is checked, and an oral cancer screening is performed. The site lists child and adult cleanings and exams together and states the practice cares for patients of all ages.
Dental x-rays and digital imaging
The Preventive Care page states the practice will take any necessary radiographs, photographs, or diagnostic casts to thoroughly evaluate your oral health. It states the office uses cutting edge digital x-ray technology and that digital x-rays are more comfortable to the patient, offer less exposure, and are easier to preserve.
Fluoride treatment and sealants
Fluoride treatment and sealants are both listed under Preventative Care on the Services page. The Preventive Care page describes fluoride treatment as a topical treatment that strengthens tooth enamel and prevents tooth decay by providing vitamins and minerals.
Periodontics and scaling and root planing
The Services page lists Periodontics with Scaling and Root Planning Therapy. The Preventive Care page describes non-surgical gum therapy and explains that periodontal infections affect the gums and bone that surround and support the teeth, that the early stage is gingivitis where gums become swollen and red and may bleed, and that in the more serious form called periodontitis the gums can pull away from the tooth, bone can be lost, and teeth may loosen or fall out. It states this requires a procedure called scaling and root planing.
Composite fillings
Composite fillings are listed under Smile Restorations. The site states they are typically recommended to remove decay or cavities, and that cavities can be treated easily and painlessly if caught early enough. It states that if decay is not treated in its early stages it can lead to tooth pain or infection, and the tooth would then need root canal treatment or extraction.
