The foundation of lifelong oral health begins with prevention. Our preventative dentistry services are designed to help you maintain a healthy smile while avoiding costly and complex treatments down the road.
Regular preventative care is the most effective way to maintain optimal oral health. By identifying and addressing potential issues early, we can help you avoid more serious complications and preserve your natural teeth for life.
Thorough evaluation of your oral health, including examination of teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues. We use advanced diagnostic tools to identify potential issues early, when they're easiest and most cost-effective to treat.
Regular professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing alone cannot eliminate. Our dentists use specialized techniques to clean above and below the gum line, helping prevent decay and periodontal disease.
State-of-the-art digital radiography allows us to detect hidden problems such as decay between teeth, bone loss, impacted teeth, and other conditions not visible during a standard examination.
Every examination includes a thorough screening for signs of oral cancer. Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes, making regular screenings an essential component of preventative care.
Professional fluoride applications strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent decay. These treatments are particularly beneficial for patients at higher risk of cavities or those with sensitivity issues.
Protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth create a barrier against decay-causing bacteria. Sealants are especially effective for children and teenagers but can benefit adults as well.
Personalized instruction on proper brushing and flossing techniques, along with dietary recommendations to support optimal oral health. We provide tailored advice based on your specific needs and risk factors.
Regular monitoring of gum tissue health through periodontal measurements and evaluations. Early intervention can prevent the progression of gum disease and protect against tooth loss.
For most patients, we recommend scheduling preventative dental visits every six months. However, the ideal frequency can vary based on individual factors including:

Teeth that have grooves or deep fissures are more likely to be affected by decay. Bacteria can easily enter the small gaps, and they’re difficult to clean by brushing. A simple solution is a plastic coating on the back teeth that will prevent cavities. It’s an easy, pain-free process that involves painting on the sealant, then setting it with a specialised light. It’s then ready for you to eat and drink as usual.
When you have a scale and polish, it starts with a thorough cleaning that prevents gum disease and the weakening of tooth structure. Built-up plaque is removed, since this type of bacteria can wear away the tooth’s surface, resulting in bad breath and cavities. If left untreated, plaque will form into calculus, a hard deposit that’s challenging to remove, which can lead to gingivitis and periodontal disease.

The grinding or clenching of teeth is called bruxism, which can erode the enamel of your teeth. It may result in jaw pain, headaches and tooth sensitivity, as well as affect the look of your teeth. Commonly, bruxism occurs during sleeping hours. A custom-created mouthguard can be worn at night to protect your teeth.
