Regular hygiene visits will enable us to monitor your oral health for prevention of future dental problems and to treat any conditions that may require immediate intervention. Early diagnosis of dental problems allows for more conservative treatment.
Dental hygiene visits include the cleaning of your teeth as well as the monitoring of your oral health on a routine basis.
Most adults will develop some form of gum disease in their lifetime. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss. Conservative therapy in our hygiene department will successfully treat most situations, while advanced disease will require treatment by a periodontist. If that becomes necessary, we work with the best and can refer you.
Crowns, bridges, and implant procedures don’t diminish the need for regular hygiene visits. While you are in treatment, it’s important to maintain the health of your oral tissues. This will aid in the overall outcome of your dental procedures.
