Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
A dental exam gives our team a chance to not only identify the early signs of cavities and make sure your existing dental work is in good shape, but we can also spot more serious conditions like oral cancer while it is easy to treat. If we find anything, we’ll work with you to put together a treatment plan. Afterward, one of our hygienists will use advanced instruments to remove all of the plaque and tartar from your teeth, lowering your cavity risk while making your smile feel porcelain smooth.
Children’s Dentistry
We pride ourselves on being a one-stop-shop dental office for Naples, and that means we’re happy to see even your youngest family members! Whether it’s a small child or a teen, we’ll make sure your favorite smile is comfortable here while we educate them about their teeth, provide gentle exams, and fix any problems as they occur. We’ll also monitor their oral development and recommend orthodontics when it will be most effective.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is well known for its ability to strengthen enamel and make it more resistant to cavities, which is why you’ll find it in so many oral healthcare products and tap water. We can apply a fluoride-rich paste to your teeth during your checkup if you could benefit from the extra protection. For children, we can use silver diamine fluoride to get ongoing cavities under control and treat them without having to use the dental drill.
Dental Sealants
The back teeth are the most likely to develop cavities, especially in children. Their location and deep pits and grooves make them the perfect trap for plaque and bacteria. Dental sealants involve placing a thin layer of resin over these teeth to essentially shield them from decay. They take minutes to apply but can easily last for over a decade.
Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards
Want to avoid a knocked-out tooth? A simple mouthguard can help you or your child stay in the game while enjoying a level of comfort and protection that generic appliances simply can’t match. Our custom guards not only fit better, but also allow a player to speak and breathe easily, ensuring they are consistently worn at both practice and games.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Millions of Americans unconsciously grind their teeth and clench their jaw while they sleep, leading to soreness in the morning as well as an increased risk of cracked teeth! But we can provide a nightguard to wear to bed that essentially prevents the teeth from touching, keeping them safe while ensuring you have much better and brighter mornings.
Oral Hygiene Education
What you do outside of our office matters more than what we do during your visits when it comes to your oral and overall health. That’s why our team is happy to provide education and counseling for oral hygiene habits, diet, and aid in smoking cessation. Of course, we don’t know everything, so we can refer patients to the expert they need to make sure they receive the care and knowledge they require.
