Preventive & Family Care
General Dentistry
Preventive dentistry is the foundation of a healthy smile. Regular cleanings and exams catch small issues before they turn into big ones — saving you time, money, and discomfort down the road.
What's included
- Comprehensive exams and low-dose digital x-rays
- Professional cleanings for adults and kids
- Tooth-colored fillings that blend in seamlessly
- Fluoride treatments and dental sealants
- Gum health assessments and periodontal care
- Nightguards for grinding and clenching
- Root canal therapy and extractions when needed
What to expect at your visit
- 1. Warm welcome. We review your health history, medications, and anything that's been on your mind since your last visit.
- 2. Gentle cleaning. Your hygienist removes plaque and tartar, polishes your teeth, and flosses — all at a pace that works for you.
- 3. Doctor exam. Your dentist checks for cavities, gum disease, and early signs of oral cancer, then walks you through any findings on a chairside monitor.
- 4. Clear next steps. If treatment is recommended, we explain the "why," the options, and the cost — no pressure, no surprises.
Frequently asked questions
- How often should I come in for a cleaning?
- Most patients do best with a professional cleaning and exam every six months. Some patients with gum disease or other risk factors benefit from more frequent visits — your hygienist will make a personalized recommendation.
- Do you see children?
- Yes. We welcome patients of every age and take extra time with kids to make sure their first dental experiences are calm and positive.
- Will my insurance cover a checkup?
- Most dental plans cover two preventive visits per year at little to no out-of-pocket cost. Our front desk will verify your benefits before your appointment and walk through anything that isn't covered.
- What if you find a cavity?
- We'll show you what we see, explain your options, and only recommend treatment that's truly needed. Small cavities are typically restored the same day with a tooth-colored filling.
