The daily habits and regular checkups that keep restorative work off your treatment plan.
Great checkups start between visits. We coach every patient on the fundamentals: brushing thoroughly twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, limiting sugary snacks and drinks, and keeping a balanced diet.
Prevention is also why patients need less work here over time. As one reviewer put it: "I've needed less fillings since I've started going here because of how attentive the team is about telling me how to care for my teeth better."
Every exam includes a conventional head and neck examination. For patients at increased risk for oral cancer, we also offer ViziLite Plus with TBlue630, an oral lesion identification and marking system that combines a special chemiluminescent light with a marking dye, helping identify tissue changes earlier, when they are most treatable.
If we see gingivitis or a more advanced form of gum disease, we act early with a deeper cleaning (scaling and root planing) and a home care plan, instrumental in preventing bone loss and keeping your natural teeth for life.
