Routine Dental Cleanings and Exams
Preventative care is key to general dentistry. Regular cleanings and exams help us catch small problems before they become major concerns.
Our dental hygienists thoroughly remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can’t reach. We polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave your smile feeling fresh and clean. Dr. Conover or one of our dentists will examine your teeth, gums, and overall oral health to spot any issues early.
Most patients benefit from cleanings every six months. However, if you have gum disease or other concerns, we might recommend more frequent visits. We’ll create a preventive care schedule that’s right for your specific needs.
Regular cleanings don’t just keep your smile bright. They help prevent cavities, gum disease, and even serious health problems linked to poor oral health like heart disease and diabetes.
Professional Teeth Whitening
A brighter smile can make you look younger and feel more confident. Professional teeth whitening is one of our most popular cosmetic treatments, and it delivers results you simply can’t get from store-bought products.
For patients who want dramatic whitening results, KöR Deep Bleaching is the gold standard. This system can whiten even stubborn stains from coffee, wine, aging, or tetracycline. The treatment combines in-office and at-home applications for beautiful, long-lasting results. Many patients see their teeth become several shades whiter.
Do you want to whiten on your own schedule? We create custom-fitted trays that fit your teeth perfectly. You’ll use professional-strength whitening gel at home for a few weeks. The custom fit means better results and less sensitivity than over-the-counter strips.
Periodontal Services
Healthy gums are just as important as healthy teeth. If you’ve noticed bleeding when you brush, gum pain, receding gums, or persistent bad breath, you may have gum disease. The good news? We can help restore your gum health.
The warning signs of gum disease include:
- Gums that bleed easily when brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Gums pulling away from your teeth
- Persistent bad breath
- Loose teeth or changes in your bite
If you develop gum disease, we may recommend a deep gum cleaning called scaling and root planing. This cleaning treatment goes below the gum line to remove bacteria and tartar buildup. Scaling removes the plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces and beneath the gums.
Root planing smooths the tooth roots so gums can reattach properly. The procedure helps your gums heal and prevents the disease from progressing.
Many patients feel significant relief after treatment. Their gums stop bleeding, inflammation decreases, and their breath improves.
