Preventive Dentistry

In Scottsdale

We get it—life gets busy, and it’s easy to put off your biannual dental exam. But skipping appointments can lead to bigger issues, costing you more time and money in the long run. Routine check-ups, just twice a year, allow us to catch small concerns before they turn into costly, time-consuming problems. Your visit will be quick, comfortable, and tailored to keep your smile healthy for years to come. Let’s make prevention a priority—schedule your appointment today!

Regular teeth cleanings and hygiene appointments are the foundation of preventive dental care. During your cleaning, we will thoroughly cleanse your teeth and gums, removing any plaque and debris from every surface in your mouth. This helps prevent bad breath and reverse minor stains to keep your smile bright and beautiful. We recommend scheduling routine cleanings and exams every six months for most patients.

However, good oral hygiene shouldn't stop when you leave our office. Keeping up with your at-home brushing and flossing routine is equally as important as attending professional cleanings, and is the best way to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Use a fluoride-rich toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush to brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes at a time; and don't forget to floss! Flossing at least once every day, ideally before going to bed, helps to get rid of food particles, plaque, and bacteria that can't be removed with brushing alone.

At our practice, your health and comfort come first!

We’re also proud to offer a handheld X-ray unit that reduces radiation exposure even further. Unlike traditional systems, this technology allows our dental team to stay right by your side during the process, making it a safer, more comfortable experience for everyone.Most patients only need one or two sets of X-rays per year, but if an emergency arises or we need a closer look, rest assured we have the safest and most effective tools to care for your smile.

Fluoride treatments are one of the best ways to keep dental decay at bay. A simple, non-invasive procedure, fluoride treatments help to keep your enamel strong. After your cleaning, we’ll apply a fluoride-rich varnish or gel; we may ask you to refrain from eating or drinking anything for 30 minutes or so following your visit. Fluoride helps strengthen the enamel, making it more resistant to acids from plaque, bacteria, and sugary foods that cause cavities.

Keeping your teeth healthy shouldn’t be a struggle! Dental sealants provide an extra layer of protection against cavities by sealing out plaque and bacteria in the deep grooves of your molars. While commonly recommended for children, sealants are a fantastic preventive solution for patients of all ages, helping to keep teeth strong and decay-free for years.

The process is quick, painless, and non-invasive. We apply a thin layer of tooth-colored resin to the chewing surfaces of your molars, which is then hardened with a special blue UV light. Once cured, the sealant forms a durable shield, blocking out harmful bacteria from food, drinks, and acids that can lead to cavities.

Why Choose Sealants?

✔ Fast & Painless Application

✔ Long-Lasting Cavity Protection

✔ Great for Kids & Adults

During your visit, your dentist will carefully examine your gums, tongue, and soft tissues for signs such as lesions, lumps, or discolorations. If needed, we may recommend a biopsy for further evaluation.
