Prevention: Keeping teeth healthy

We detect and treat problems like tooth decay at an early stage.  Though the development of tooth decay and gum disease is partially due to our genetic design, a large factor in keeping our mouths disease free is good home hygiene.  We promise to help teach and encourage good home care habits and diagnose areas that may need special attention.

Our preventive measures ensure the continued good health of your gums and teeth. If tooth decay ("cavities") develops, we will diagnose and formulate a treatment plan to keep your teeth healthy and strong. We will also take special care of existing dental work, implants, or prostheses you may have.

Treating periodontitis

Periodonitis is a serious gum disease that, untreated, can not only lead to tooth loss, but also can cause loss of supporting bone in the upper and lower arches.  This disease can be the result of one or both of the following: genetic factors and poor home care habits. The status of the disease may require an evaluation and/or treatment from a specialist. This may require having more extensive cleanings more often.
