Preventative Dentistry

Preventative Dentistry in Phoenix, AZ

Preventive dentistry therapies keep teeth stronger for longer and support a lifetime of healthy teeth. The team at our Phoenix dental offices create an enjoyable experience that helps our patients take their oral health seriously – and improves the outcome of their smiles for their entire lives!

Routine preventative dental care is important at all ages and stages of life. Regular checkups and x-rays allow our dentists to detect early signs of potential cavities, gum disease, or damage to the teeth and gums. These preventative dental services help to reduce the risk of costly and complicated dental problems while also providing you with the peace of mind that your oral health is in top condition.

As part of our preventative dentistry services, our dentists will make customized recommendations for your oral health and dental care. We answer questions and are available to discuss treatment options or dental care recommended during these visits.

Routine Dental Exams

Early diagnosis of dental needs or concerns can help prevent complications and expensive treatments later on. Our dentists conduct very comprehensive examinations to pinpoint areas of need.

From assessing the strength of tooth enamel to evaluating growth and eruption patterns, every patient receives the comprehensive screenings needed to make necessary treatments as infrequent as possible. We provide preventative dentistry for all our patients from young infants to seniors. At each stage of life, our experienced dentists adjust your unique preventative dental services to protect your oral health and reduce the risk of dental problems.

Personalized Oral Hygiene Plan

How would you like to stop decay from happening in the first place? With dental sealants, you can protect some of the most cavity-prone areas of the mouth from ever developing tooth decay. Sealants for teeth are thin protective layers that are placed into deep grooves on the chewing surfaces of the teeth. This makes brushing more effective, and seals out bacteria from entering deep into areas of the teeth that are difficult or impossible to keep clean!

Composite Tooth Fillings

During each appointment, our hygienists or assistants will help tailor a customized oral hygiene plan from our menu of preventive dentistry services, complete with instructions to help you take control of your oral health. We’ll discuss what is needed and how to encourage good oral hygiene habits in your family.

Digital X-Rays

Advanced digital dental x-rays make the x-ray process even quicker and easier to understand. By making our dental x-rays visible on a monitor, patients can see what is going on while they are getting treated. Using digital radiography allows us to better communicate with parents, reduces radiation, and shortens the time you or your family needs to spend in the clinical area.

Teeth Cleaning

Plaque and tartar buildup occur at all ages. A professional cleaning will remove bacteria from the mouth that can cause gingivitis, cavities, and dental infections. We recommend that most patients receive a teeth cleaning every 6 months, unless there is an oral hygiene concern or active gum disease.

Custom Mouth Guard

One of the biggest factors that cause dental emergencies is trauma and fractures during sporting activities. A professionally fitted mouth guard not only stays securely in place and is comfortable to wear; but wearing one can also reduce the risk of concussion! Our guards can be customized to match school or team colors as well, which better encourages your athlete to wear it during their activity.
