Teeth Cleanings
Teeth cleanings, also known as dental prophylaxis, are routine preventive procedures performed by dental professionals. They involve the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth, along with polishing and flossing. Regular cleanings help maintain oral health, prevent gum disease, and keep your smile fresh and bright.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screening is a crucial part of dental check-ups. It involves a thorough examination of the mouth, tongue, and surrounding tissues to detect early signs of oral cancer. Dentists look for abnormal lesions, sores, or suspicious areas and may use additional diagnostic tools. Early detection is key for successful treatment and improved outcomes.
Digital X-rays
Digital X-rays are a modern imaging technology used in dentistry to capture detailed images of the teeth, gums, and jaw. They use significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays and provide instant results. Digital X-rays aid in diagnosing dental conditions, detecting hidden problems, and planning appropriate treatments with enhanced precision.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to prevent tooth decay. They act as a barrier, sealing off deep grooves and crevices where bacteria and food particles can accumulate. Dental sealants are a non-invasive, effective way to protect teeth and reduce the risk of cavities.
Teeth-Strengthening
Teeth-strengthening refers to various dental procedures and practices aimed at improving the strength and durability of teeth. This can include treatments such as dental crowns, dental bonding, or inlays/onlays to reinforce weakened or damaged teeth. Good oral hygiene, a balanced diet, and regular dental check-ups also contribute to overall teeth strength.
Desensitizing treatments for
sensitive teeth are aimed at reducing tooth sensitivity caused by factors like enamel erosion, exposed dentin, or gum recession. These treatments may involve applying desensitizing agents, fluoride varnishes, or sealants to the affected areas to help alleviate discomfort and protect the teeth from further sensitivity.
Athletic mouth guards are protective devices worn during sports activities to prevent dental injuries. They are typically made of flexible materials and customized to fit an individual's teeth. Mouth guards provide cushioning, absorb impact, and help prevent dental fractures, tooth loss, and soft tissue injuries, ensuring oral safety during physical activities.
Night Guards
Night guards, also known as occlusal splints or dental splints, are oral appliances used to protect teeth and jaws during sleep. They are custom-made to fit over the teeth and provide a cushioning barrier. Night guards are used to alleviate symptoms of teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching, preventing tooth wear, headaches, and jaw discomfort.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
TMJ disorder treatment aims to address issues related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects the jawbone to the skull. Treatments can include lifestyle changes, jaw exercises, pain medication, oral splints or night guards, physical therapy, stress management techniques, and in severe cases, surgery. Treatment plans are tailored to individual symptoms and needs.
Cone Beam 3D Imaging
Cone Beam 3D imaging is an advanced dental imaging technology that produces high-resolution, three-dimensional images of the teeth, jawbone, and facial structures. It provides detailed information for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in various dental procedures, including dental implant placement, orthodontics, oral surgery, and TMJ analysis, offering enhanced precision and patient care.
