Our Preventive Dental Services

We offer complete preventive care for children, adults, and seniors, including.

Dental Cleanings & Exams

Routine cleanings and comprehensive exams every 6 months to remove buildup, check for cavities, and catch issues early.

Digital X-Rays & Imaging

Safe, high-definition images to assess bone health, tooth roots, and developing issues before they cause pain or damage.

Fluoride Treatments

Strengthen enamel and reduce cavity risk — especially for kids, teens, and patients prone to decay.

Dental Sealants

Thin protective coatings applied to molars to prevent cavities in hard-to-brush areas (commonly used for children and teens).

Oral Cancer Screenings

Quick, non-invasive screenings during every exam to detect early signs of oral cancer or tissue changes.

Custom mouthguards to protect your teeth from nighttime grinding and clenching — a common cause of worn teeth and jaw pain.
