Every patient that comes in gets a full comprehensive exam. We take a look at the gums, the teeth, make sure that we get everything healthy. So, that means fillings, cleanings, maintenance, and prevention is something that we focus on as well. That gets our patients to a state of stable health that we can then maintain with partnership with them in the long term.
Enjoy Your Best Smile With Our Variety of Services
Our practice uses advanced technology like digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to make your care comfortable, efficient, and precise. Also, because general dentistry is so important to your oral health, we offer a full range of services that fall into that category. They include:
- Dental Cleanings and Exams – We recommend you visit every six months for a routine checkup. We’ll start with a complete dental exam, including a head and neck exam and a check for oral cancer. Then our hygienist will thoroughly clean and polish your teeth. You’ll leave our office with a fresh-from-the-dentist feeling.
- Preventive Treatments – During your checkup, we may recommend one or more preventive treatments. Fluoride treatments and varnishes help to strengthen your tooth enamel and prevent cavities. Tooth sealants form a protective barrier against decay-causing bacteria that can wreak havoc on your teeth.
- Gum Disease Treatment – Dr. McGary, our in-house periodontist, provides a wide assortment of treatments to get your gums back into shape, including scaling and root planing, laser treatment, open flap debridement, Arestin antibiotic treatment, gum grafts, and osteo surgery. We also offer laser periodontal therapy to remove infection.
- Dry Mouth Treatment – Our team will seek out the cause of your chronic dry mouth so we can recommend the best treatment for your situation. Specialty products and/or lifestyle changes will help reduce dry mouth symptoms, so your mouth feels better.
- Bad Breath Treatment – We’ll treat the cause of halitosis, either with one of our gum disease therapies or using specialty products, so you can avoid embarrassing social interactions.
- Custom Mouthguards – We can make a variety of professional mouthguards for different applications, including bruxism (teeth grinding), TMJ treatment, and protection during sports. Digital impressions ensure a snug, comfortable fit and superior protection over store-bought mouthguards.
- Family Dentistry – We recommend you bring your little one in to see Dr. Jones either by age 1 or six months after their first tooth appears. She has extensive experience treating children, so they’ll be in good hands. As a bonus, we can schedule your entire family at one time with one extended appointment.
