Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Consistent preventive care is the foundation of a healthy smile! Checkups and cleanings at our office include a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and surrounding oral structures, along with a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing cannot address. Each visit also includes an oral cancer screening using the VELscope detection system, which can identify abnormal tissue at its earliest stages. Routine visits allow our team to monitor your oral health over time and address concerns before they develop into more complex issues.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Teeth grinding and clenching, known as bruxism, often occur during sleep and can go unnoticed until it starts causing severe issues. Some common signs of the condition include worn enamel, jaw soreness, headaches, and increased tooth sensitivity. A custom-fitted nightguard provides a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, absorbing the force of grinding and helping to relieve associated muscle tension. Plus, unlike over-the-counter options, our nightguards are made from precise impressions of your teeth, ensuring a comfortable, secure fit that holds up!
Bad Breath Treatment
Persistent bad breath, medically known as halitosis, is often a sign of an underlying oral health concern rather than simply a hygiene issue. Common causes include bacterial buildup on the tongue, gum disease, dry mouth, and certain dental restorations that harbor bacteria over time. Our team will conduct a thorough evaluation of your whole mouth to identify the source of the problem, and from there, recommend an appropriate course of treatment.

Athletic Mouthguards
A custom-fitted athletic mouthguard offers much greater protection than store-bought options, as it is designed specifically for your unique teeth and bite. This ensures a secure, comfortable fit that stays in place during all kinds of sports and physical activity, and provides reliable protection against chipped or fractured teeth, soft tissue injuries, and in some cases, concussion-related impact. We recommend custom mouthguards for patients of all ages who are active in sports.
