We believe the best dental care is proactive. Preventive dentistry is all about protecting your teeth and gums before problems develop, saving you time, stress, and costly treatments down the road. Led by Dr. Erin Manicom and our trusted team, we create personalized plans to help every member of your family enjoy a healthy smile for years to come.
Whether it’s your child’s first dental visit, maintaining strong oral health as an adult, or protecting your teeth during sports, our preventive services are designed to keep your smile strong and your health on track.
Every patient’s smile is unique, which is why we create individualized oral health plans tailored to your needs. These plans include professional cleanings, exams, and at-home care recommendations to keep your mouth healthy between visits.
Our advanced digital X-rays provide a detailed, accurate view of your teeth and gums with minimal radiation exposure. These images help us detect issues early, before they become bigger problems.
For patients with signs of gum disease, scaling and root plaining is a deep-cleaning treatment that removes plaque and bacteria beneath the gumline. This helps stop gum disease from progressing and protects your overall health.
If you grind or clench your teeth at night (a condition called bruxism), we can create a custom nightguard to protect your teeth from wear, reduce jaw pain, and prevent long-term damage.
Sealants act like a shield for your back teeth, protecting the deep grooves where cavities are most likely to start. They’re a great option for kids, though adults can benefit as well.
If you or your child play contact sports, a custom sports guard helps prevent dental injuries by cushioning and protecting the teeth. Unlike store-bought versions, our custom guards are made to fit comfortably and securely.
Preventive dentistry doesn’t just protect your teeth, it safeguards your overall health. Regular checkups and cleanings can lower your risk of cavities, gum disease, and even health concerns like heart disease and diabetes. By staying proactive, you’ll enjoy fewer dental problems, healthier gums, and a brighter, longer-lasting smile.
