Our Dental Hygienist Services

01.

Professional Teeth Cleanings (Prophylaxis)

Thorough Cleaning for a Healthier Smile
Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth over time. Professional teeth cleaning by our dental hygienists helps remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that contribute to gum disease, cavities, and bad breath.

Plaque and Tartar Removal: Our hygienists use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar from areas that regular brushing can’t reach.
Polishing: After cleaning, we polish your teeth, leaving them smooth and shiny.
Fluoride Treatment: A fluoride treatment may be applied to help strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay.

Gum Disease Prevention and Treatment

Protect Your Gums from Disease
Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss, but it is entirely preventable with the right care. Our dental hygienists will carefully assess your gum health and provide treatment if needed, including:

Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning): For patients with gum disease, deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar from beneath the gumline to reduce inflammation and promote healing.

Gum Health Education: We educate you on the importance of gum care and how to maintain healthy gums with proper brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups.

X-Rays and Imaging

Accurate Diagnosis with Advanced Technology. Our dental hygienists take digital X-rays and other imaging to detect issues such as cavities, bone loss, or infections that may not be visible during a routine exam. These images help our dentists develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Custom Mouthguards and Sports Protection

Protect Your Teeth During Physical Activities
If you engage in sports or other physical activities, our hygienists can fit you for a custom mouthguard to protect your teeth from injury. We create comfortable, well-fitted mouthguards that can help prevent dental trauma during high-risk activities.
