GENERAL & PREVENTATIVE

Comprehensive care for your entire family's oral health.

Excellence in Dentistry

What Makes Our Dentists Special?

General dentists have studied all facets of dentistry and can provide high-quality care to patients who have general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry needs. Our dentists have earned their dental degrees from respected institutions. They understand that providing friendly, personalized, gentle care is just as important as the specific skills they can offer.

Most of our dentists’ time is spent on preventative care. Cleanings and examinations are the best way to keep your teeth, gums, and bones in great condition, while avoiding the need for more serious procedures later. Early signs of tooth decay can be addressed with fillings, while scaling and root planing (also known as a deep cleaning) can address early signs of periodontal disease.

Our dentists are also trained and experienced in more invasive procedures like oral surgery. Their priority is maintaining a patient’s natural teeth whenever possible, but if teeth do come out, they can replace them with dental implants, dental bridges, or dentures.

Preventive Therapy

At Dental Health Associates we believe that the less dentistry you need the better. That is why our dental team is constantly looking for ways to prevent and lower your risk for dental disease. We know that regular visits to the dentist can reduce your risk of problems.

Preventive dentistry aims to maintain and improve your oral health. These services center around routine appointments for dental exams, teeth cleanings, and X-rays. Oral exams are typically recommended every six months or twice a year, but some people may need to visit more often if they have crooked, overcrowded teeth.

A lot of preventive dentistry happens at home with good dental hygiene. Preventing cavities and gum disease starts with you. Brushing your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste containing fluoride is best.

The Benefits of Prevention

Patients that schedule regular dental exams and practice good dental habits at home are less likely to develop gum disease, tooth decay, and other severe dental problems. These appointments catch problems early when they’re less costly and easier to treat.

Diagnostic & Preventative Services

Our doctors and staff are pleased to be able to offer dental services to every age group. Prevention and education are important in our practice.

Comprehensive Exams

A process in which our doctors take necessary records to provide a thorough diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan. Includes oral cancer screenings, caries exams, and new AI technology evaluations.

Periodontal Exams

Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss. Our doctors will examine your gum tissue to ensure that gum disease is detected in its early stages.

TMJ & Botox Therapy

Frequent indicators of TMJ include popping of the jaw and facial pain. We provide conservative therapies, including Botox, to eliminate this painful and frustrating problem.

Sealants & Fluoride

Sealants protect the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to prevent decay. Fluoride applications help to strengthen the enamel on your teeth, making it more difficult for cavities to begin.

Perio Protect & Irrigation

Perio Protect trays are a comfortable way to treat periodontal disease at home. We also offer antibiotic irrigation to control bacteria and promote healing of gum tissue.

Occlusal Adjustment

Proper functioning of the jaws and teeth is often hindered by a poor bite. Adjustments can be made so that your teeth fit together properly for chewing and swallowing.
