Oral Cancer Screenings

Tens of thousands of people are diagnosed with oral cancer every year. Many of them do not catch the disease until it has already progressed to a point where extensive treatment is necessary. Through regular oral cancer screenings, we aim to spot signs of this disease as early as possible so patients can be treated as conservatively as possible. The screening process is fast, painless, and noninvasive. If we notice any cause for concern, we will advise you on how to get further testing.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is a mineral that helps to rebuild little bits of tooth enamel that get worn away due to daily activities. Most types of toothpaste, as well as many municipal water sources, contain fluoride. We can also give you an extra boost of this tooth-fortifying mineral right here in our dental office. It is a simple and quick process that can help to protect your smile from the ravages of tooth decay.

Periodontal Therapy

Periodontal treatment starts with prevention. Regular cleanings and good hygiene habits are excellent precautions again gum disease. The main cause of periodontal disease is bacteria in the form of a sticky, colorless plaque that constantly forms on your teeth. However, other factors can also cause the disease or influence its progression. Periodontal laser therapy treats the disease more effectively and comfortably than ever. It removes scar tissue in periodontal pockets, kills harmful bacteria, and promotes the reattachment of gums to teeth.

Scaling, root planing, and local delivery of antimicrobials can treat the disease and stop its progression. In some cases, surgical therapy or cosmetic solutions may also be necessary to help patients fully recover from gum disease. Our dentists can evaluate your situation and present the best treatment options for you.
