Regular check ups and cleanings are imperative for good oral health. During your cleanings our hygienists will gently remove plaque from your teeth to prevent cavities, gingivitis and periodontists. Following the cleaning, your dentist will examine your mouth to make sure that everything is healthy.
Sealants are typically placed on children and teens on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth where cavities are most likely to develop. Sealants protect against tooth decay and typically cannot be seen when you smile or talk.
Fillings are used to treat a cavity. The majority of the fillings we do are composite restorations (tooth colored fillings). Some of the advantages of using a composite filling are minimal sensitivity to hot and cold substances and it strengthens the tooth by bonding it together. We also provide amalgam (silver) fillings. We guarantee our fillings for 2 years if you stay a patient of record and maintain routine preventative dental care.
Night Guards for Grinding and Clenching Night guards are used to treat conditions like teeth grinding (bruxism) and clenching. These custom fit devices protect the teeth from wear and the jaw muscles from tension, reducing discomfort and long term damage. Wearing a night guard can improve your oral health and overall comfort while you sleep.
Dental Sleep Therapy for Sleep Apnea and Snoring For patients who suffer from sleep apnea or chronic snoring we have custom dental sleep appliances that keep the airway open while you sleep. These appliances gently reposition the jaw to improve airflow and reduce breathing interruptions. Dental sleep therapy is a non-invasive alternative to CPAP machines so you and your partner can both sleep more restfully and uninterrupted.
Many athletes use mouthguards for safety, but did you know it could also give you an edge? When you compete it’s natural to clench your teeth which causes stress, fatigue and distraction. We offer Under Armor mouthguards to help improve your performance while also protecting your teeth.
