Preventative Care

Preventative care refers to treatments and practices that prevent oral health issues before they arise, ensuring your smile remains vibrant and free from disease. With a focus on same-day care, advanced technology, and comfortable treatments, we’re dedicated to helping you maintain optimal oral health for life.

If you suffer from dental anxiety or other conditions, IV sedation options are also available to ensure your comfort and induce a state of relaxation.

Our Preventative Care Services

Dental Cleanings

Dental cleanings or prophylaxis are designed to remove plaque and surface stains from your teeth. Once a thorough examination of your teeth and gums is conducted, we eliminate bacteria and buildup from the surfaces and corners of your teeth. Afterward, your teeth are polished to remove surface stains and achieve a smooth, shiny finish.

Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and root planing is a two-step periodontal therapy to treat gum disease and prevent its progression. During scaling, specialized instruments are used to remove accumulated bacteria and toxins that contribute to gum inflammation and infection. Root planing involves smoothing out the surfaces of the tooth roots to promote healing.

Periodontal Maintenance

Periodontal maintenance is an ongoing therapy to prevent the recurrence of gum disease and maintain oral health. During each appointment, our team thoroughly cleans your teeth and gums, focusing on removing plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline. They also evaluate the health of your gums and monitor for signs of disease progression.
