What Preventive Care Includes

Dental Exams

Comprehensive checks of teeth, gums, bite, and soft tissues to detect decay, cracks, and early gum disease.

Professional Cleanings (Prophylaxis)

Thorough removal of plaque and tartar above and below the gumline; polishing for a smooth, clean feel.

Digital X-Rays & Imaging (As Needed)

Low-dose radiographs and photos to spot hidden problems between teeth or under restorations.

Fluoride Treatments

Topical fluoride to remineralize enamel and reduce future cavity risk—great for high-risk patients.

Protective coatings for deep grooves (often molars) to block bacteria and food from starting cavities.

Oral Cancer Screening

Quick, painless soft-tissue evaluation for early detection and peace of mind.

Bite & TMJ Screening

Identify bruxism/clenching and jaw issues early; recommend night guards if needed.

From routine prophies to periodontal maintenance after therapy, scheduled to your needs.
