Areas of Practice
general cleaning and prophylaxis
The simple procedure in a healthy mouth without having to perform subgingival or under the gum cleaning. There is light hand scaling and removal of light build up on the teeth, a polish, floss, fluoride use and antiseptic rinse. At this initial appointment we can more or less determine what cleaning would need to be performed to acquire a healthy oral state so that every appointment is specifically tailored to your needs.
whitening trays
Whitening is an amazing quick way to improve your smile and revitalize your self esteem to maintain a happy bright look. Please feel free to ask your Hygienist more questions if a more bright healthy smile is desired.
laser therapy
Laser therapy is a great way to kill off bacteria effectively and give you an upper hand at lowering bacterial numbers under the gums. I have seen great chairside results and I’m always amazed at the results with the diode laser.
Scaling and ROOT PLANING (srps)
SRP’s is a deep cleaning. At this point,the hygienist has given her analysis as to the condition of your gums. The gums will have to be numb in order to perform this type of procedure. The goal of this procedure is to remove all subgingival, under the gum, debris.To do this without anesthesia would be very uncomfortable. After all bacterial debris is removed, the Hygienist will evaluate your needs for a periodontal maintenance cleaning interval at the 3 month appointment after srps procedure . Tailoring each contract according to a project’s scope, size, and budget, we secure the appropriate creative rights for all talents involved.
mobile in home service
We cater to seniors and loved ones who are homebound with bedside or favorite chairside dental cleanings and periodontal assessments. A wonderful service we can provide your loved ones without having to move patients from the comfort of their home. No longer do they have to wait in busy waiting rooms for their ride, have accidents due to immobility restrictions, and or simply reduce chances of falling upon movement.
tmj evaluation
A TMJ, temporomandibular, evaluation is done to assure there are no abnormalities and auditory abnormalities within the jaw joints. We can refer patients to a specialist who can further diagnose and treat this condition.
Periodontal MAINTENANCE
A periodontal maintenance differentiates from a simple cleaning in that it focuses on removing subgingival, under the gums, debris to avoid an active gingival irritation. This avoids the body from destroying more bone and tissues around teeth. This is needed to maintain healthy gums and stave off active periodontal infections and subsequent bone loss.
sealants
Sealants are a tough resin placed into groves of teeth to guard the tops of the teeth from cavity causing bacteria.
oral pathology evaluation
An oral cancer screening is done at each and every appointment. If any suspicious areas are found, we can refer to a specialist who can perform a biopsy to correctly diagnose and treat the problem area(s).
