Preventive Care: *Keeping Your Smile Healthy* * **Comprehensive Dental Exams:** Thorough examinations of your teeth, gums, and oral tissues to detect issues such as cavities, gum disease, and other abnormalities early. We also assess your bite and jaw joints. * **Professional Dental Cleanings (Prophylaxis):** Our skilled hygienists meticulously remove plaque and tartar buildup from above and below the gum line, preventing cavities and periodontal disease. * **Digital X-rays:** Advanced, low-radiation imaging technology used to identify hidden problems like cavities between teeth, bone loss, impacted teeth, and other underlying issues not visible during a visual exam. * **Oral Cancer Screenings:** A vital part of every comprehensive exam, we perform thorough checks for early detection of precancerous or cancerous lesions in the mouth and throat. * **Fluoride Treatments:** Professional application of fluoride to strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars, thus preventing decay. * **Dental Sealants:** Protective plastic coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars, especially in children and adolescents, to seal out food particles and bacteria that cause cavities. * **Custom Nightguards/Mouthguards:** Designed to protect your teeth from damage caused by teeth grinding (bruxism) or clenching during sleep, and custom athletic mouthguards to prevent sports-related oral injuries. ### 2. Restorative Dentistry: *Repairing and Restoring Your Smile* * **Tooth-Colored Fillings (Composite):** Durable, aesthetic fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, used to restore teeth affected by cavities or minor chips. * **Dental Crowns:** Custom-made caps that cover the entire visible portion of a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, shape, function, and appearance. * **Dental Bridges:** Fixed restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth, effectively "bridging" the gap and restoring your bite and smile. * **Root Canal Therapy:** A conservative treatment to save a tooth with an infected or severely damaged pulp, alleviating pain and preventing the need for extraction. * **Simple Extractions:** Gentle removal of teeth that are beyond repair due to extensive decay, trauma, or severe gum disease. ### 3. Diagnostic & Emergency Care: *Prompt Solutions When You Need Them* * **Thorough Oral Health Assessments:** Utilizing modern diagnostic tools and our dentists' expertise to accurately identify and address any oral health concerns. * **Emergency Dental Services:** Prompt attention for sudden toothaches, broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, abscesses, and other urgent dental concerns to relieve pain and prevent further damage. ### 4.
