Recall and Hygiene

Recall and hygiene appointments are the most effective way to avoid complex and expensive dental procedures.
Regular hygiene appointments are the most effective way of treating a periodontal disease or maintaining periodontal health. The hygienist performs scaling and root planing (debridement) to remove plaque and calculus from the tooth surfaces. This is done using powered instruments such as an ultrasonic instrument and/or hand instruments. The frequency of hygiene appointments is tailored to the special needs of each patient
With regular examinations, problems can be treated at their earliest and most treatable stage, and dental work done will be maintained at its best quality.

Orthodontic Treatment

Misaligned teeth can lead to premature wear, tooth loss, gum disease, and the buildup of bacteria associated with bigger problems, including heart disease. More than seven out of ten American adults have some kind of issue with their bite, such as crowning, spacing, or overbite. We call it malocclusion. When your teeth are properly aligned, the health benefits are clear:
Healthier Gums: It is easier to brush and floss around properly aligned teeth, and you are less likely to have pockets between gums and teeth that trap bacteria.
Improved Hygiene:Properly aligned teeth reduce plaque retention, tooth decay, and the risk of gum disease.
Less Wear and Trauma: Aligned teeth reduce the risk of tooth chipping, breaking, and wear, which can require expensive procedures to repair. Proper alignment also reduces stress on the jawbone and joints.

Custom Night Guard

Night guards are an effective preventative treatment for people who grind or clench. In some cases, even if you are not aware of it, your dentist will be able to diagnose signs of progressive enamel wear and will suggest a night guard to prevent the development of additional signs and symptoms and potential damage to teeth, jaw joint, and muscles.
Night guard is worn while you sleep to reduce the stress on your jaw muscles and protect your teeth and jaw joints. Even if you clench your teeth in the daytime, an appliance worn at night will help to stretch your jaw muscles and decrease daytime tightness.
Grinding and clenching is a major cause of tooth loss. The damage can be severe, requiring extensive rehabilitation.
