Preventative Care: Includes oral cancer screening, dental cleaning, polishing, and flossing. Screening patients for oral cancer every year helps us detect oral cancer as early as possible. Early detection of oral cancer facilitates early and aggressive treatment and can lead to better outcomes and survival rates.
Periodontal Evaluations: A Periodontal Evaluation is a way to assess your periodontal health by examining: Your teeth, the amount of plaque, gum, bite, your bone structure, and your risk factors. When your dental professional, such as a periodontist, general dentist, or dental hygienist, performs this evaluation, they will look at these six areas to determine the state of your periodontal health.
Deep Cleanings: Non surgical Periodontal Therapy. American Academy of Periodontology treatment guidelines stress that periodontal health should be achieved in the least invasive and most cost-effective manner. This is often accomplished through non-surgical periodontal treatment called Scaling and Root Planing
Fluoride Treatment: Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral known for its ability to strengthen tooth enamel, which in turn helps prevent cavities. Fluoride also prevents bacterial growth, and slows down or reverses early tooth decay. The varnish is applied in the office.
Sealants: Sealants protect the chewing surfaces from cavities by covering them with a protective shield that blocks out germs and food. These are placed on molars and premolars.

Take-home whitening are definitely a great option for those who would like to use prescription strength whitening gel but would like to monitor their progress in the comfort of their own home.
