Preventive Dental Care
For an Attractive and Healthy Smile that Lasts a Lifetime
 Treat and prevent any bad breath, tooth decay, gum disease, and periodontal disease by having regular preventive care visits - at least once every 6 months.
Our team provides each client with the education they need to take control of their oral health and maintain healthy teeth and gums visit after visit. We look at not only the clinical findings, but nutrition and contributing habits that can affect each individual’s health. Preventative recommendations are tailored to each client.
It is important to keep recare appointments as part of any preventative plan. Regular recare visits enable the detection of any changes in oral health in their early stages and recommend appropriate follow up treatments. It is much easier to find the solution to a problem when it is small than wait until it becomes a big problem to seek help.
Recare Visits Include:
- Cleaning
- Dental exam
- Oral cancer screening
- Gum health analysis
- Any necessary digital x-rays
- Changes in health history
- Any necessary coaching to improve oral hygiene at home
Our practice is proud to provide the best possible technology for our client’s needs:
Digital X-rays: Minimize radiation exposure while providing immediate images that can be adjusted and enlarged on screen to optimize the image for diagnosis and patient education.
Intraoral Photos: Provide valuable photos not only for record and treatment purposes, but to help our clients visualize the clinical findings that are diagnosed.
Cari-Free Technology: An exciting, new approach to caries (cavity) management! Instead of treating an existing dental infection, the aim is to eliminate the cause of the infection- acid producing bacteria- before it even starts.
- How does it work? It utilizes the latest in research and technology to help clients at risk for future cavities change the balance of the bacteria in their mouth. The balance is shifted from cavity producing bacteria to healthy bacteria through changes in the pH of their mouth.
- What is involved? An easy 1 minute screening test. This test evaluates potential levels of the decay-producing bacteria. The results enable preventative recommendations tailored specifically to the client.
- Who can benefit?
- Clients who show moderate to high risk for future decay
- Low risk clients who desire additional proactive, preventative care
- Clients who experience dry mouth (xerostomia)
- Expecting parents, to prevent transmission
- Clients with exposed root surfaces
- Clients planning extensive restorative treatment, to enable a longer life for the dentistry invested in
A children’s prevention program is available
