What is Preventative Dentistry?
Preventative dentistry focuses on keeping your teeth and gums healthy through regular maintenance and proactive care. These services help detect problems early—before they become more complex or costly.
Our preventative services include:
- Comprehensive dental exams
- Professional teeth cleanings
- Digital X-rays
- Fluoride treatments
- Sealants for cavity prevention
- Oral cancer screenings
- Personalized oral hygiene education
Preventative care also means identifying small issues before they become bigger problems. If a tooth does need repair, we can often address it with a conservative restorative treatment like tooth-colored fillings before more complex work is needed.
