Athletic Mouthguards

Athletic mouthguards are protective devices worn over the teeth during sports activities to prevent dental injuries. They are custom-made to fit comfortably and provide maximum protection against impacts to the mouth and jaw. Wearing a mouthguard can significantly reduce the risk of broken teeth and injuries during games and practices.

Nightguards (For Bruxism)

Nightguards are custom-made devices worn over the teeth at night to prevent teeth grinding and clenching, known as bruxism. They help protect the teeth from dental trauma and reduce jaw pain and discomfort associated with the condition.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride treatments help strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. During the treatment, a concentrated fluoride solution is applied to the teeth, making them more resistant to decay. These treatments are especially beneficial for children, but adults can also benefit from the added protection.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to prevent cavities. They act as a barrier, sealing out food and bacteria, and are particularly effective for children and teenagers who are at higher risk for tooth decay.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer screenings are routine examinations performed by a dentist to detect early signs of oral cancer. The screening includes a visual and physical examination of the mouth, throat, and surrounding tissues to identify any abnormal areas that may require further investigation.

Laser Gum Treatment

Laser gum treatment uses advanced laser technology to treat gum disease and other periodontal issues. The laser helps remove infected tissue, reduce bacteria, and promote healing with minimal discomfort and faster recovery times compared to traditional methods.

TMJ/TMD Therapy

TMJ/TMD therapy addresses issues related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which can cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw. Treatment may include exercises, medications, or custom-made appliances to relieve symptoms and improve jaw function.

Halitosis Treatment

Halitosis, or bad breath, can be caused by various factors, including poor oral hygiene, gum disease, or certain foods. Treatment involves identifying and addressing the underlying cause, improving oral hygiene, and using specialized mouthwashes or treatments to freshen breath.
