Our Commitment to Comprehensive Dental Care
Oral health plays a significant role in your general health, acting as a window to detect early signs of systemic diseases. Poor oral hygiene can lead to dental and medical problems such as gum disease, infection, heart disease, and more. Recognizing these potential risks, we are dedicated to ensuring that our patients receive the very best dental care in a supportive environment.
Whether it’s time for a dental checkup or you have questions about implants, orthodontics, or any other dental specialty service, visiting our office is the first step to achieving a healthier smile.
Dental Checkups & Cleanings
With routine checkups and cleanings, our team keeps you protected from much more than cavities. We also perform a thorough oral cancer screening so if any signs of the disease are present, you get the attention you need quickly. And with a professional cleaning, this removes the plaque that is the root cause of most everyday dental issues while also getting rid of pesky surface stains!
Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards
Nothing stops a game quicker than a dental injury. Whether you’re cheering your child on from the sidelines or on the field yourself, a custom-made guard can go a long way in preventing an accident from turning into a broken or knocked-out tooth. Our guards are specially made so they not only provide great protection, but are also incredibly comfortable for all types and levels of athletes.
Nightguards for Bruxism
If you regularly wake up with a sore/stiff jaw, headaches, and your teeth look worn down, then you might be grinding them while you sleep. Called bruxism, a nightguard (small mouthpiece you wear to bed) can go a long way to stop chronic pain in the morning while also protecting your teeth and dental work from weakening and cracking.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Can’t seem to get enough sleep? Sleep apnea is a condition that affects over 120 million Americans, and many telltale physical signs occur in the upper airway, aka the mouth! That means our team can screen for possible issues, and working with a sleep physician, provide a solution in the form of an oral appliance. This can help stop snoring, enable someone to breathe uninterrupted throughout the night, and get the restorative rest they need without a CPAP.
