The Essentials: Preventive + Restorative Care

Consistent preventive care is the foundation of long-term oral health. Routine visits allow potential issues to be identified early, before they become uncomfortable, complex, or costly. Each checkup includes a comprehensive exam, a meticulous cleaning, and guidance tailored to your at-home routine.

We focus on:

• Preventive dentistry: thorough cleanings, exams, low-radiation imaging, fluoride when appropriate, and sealants for children to protect developing teeth.

• Restorative dentistry: tooth-colored fillings, crowns, inlays and onlays, and dental implants—all designed to rebuild strength, function, and natural aesthetics.

• Dental assessments: Detailed evaluation of your bite and occlusion to protect the teeth, joints, and any restorations, ensuring long-term comfort and stability.

Gum Health: Detect, Treat, Protect

Healthy gums are essential to overall wellness. Gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss and is closely linked to systemic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and pregnancy complications. That’s why our approach is proactive, comprehensive, and rooted in advanced diagnostics.

What we do:

• Periodontal charting and bacterial risk assessment

• Gentle scaling and root planing when needed

• Personalized home-care guidance and supportive therapies

• Ongoing maintenance to safeguard long-term health

Signs to watch for: bleeding during brushing, persistent bad breath, gum sensitivity, or recession. If any of these are present, scheduling a periodontal evaluation can help prevent progression and protect your smile.

Early Detection Saves Lives: Oral Cancer Screening

Every comprehensive exam includes a thorough oral cancer screening. For enhanced evaluation, we use VELscope® technology to detect tissue changes that may not be visible to the naked eye. Early identification significantly improves outcomes, especially for patients with risk factors such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, or a history of HPV.

Care for Dental Anxiety

Dental anxiety is common—and completely understandable. Our practice is designed to create a sense of calm, clarity, and support at every step. Patients can choose from comfort-focused amenities and relaxation techniques based on their individual needs.

Comfort options include:

• Relaxation amenities such as neck pillows, blankets, and entertainment

• NuCalm®, a drug-free relaxation method that quiets the body’s stress response

• Sedation dentistry using DOCS-guided protocols for safe, restful treatment

Our goal is simple: provide an environment where you feel comfortable, secure, and empowered to maintain the care that supports your long-term health.
