Dental Checkups & Cleanings

The American Dental Association recommends that all children and adults over the age of one receive routine checkups and cleanings every six months from their dentist. Each of these appointments begins with a thorough evaluation of the teeth and gums, including taking any necessary X-rays. Dr. Lee will screen you for airway disorders, TMJ problems, signs of oral cancer, and gum disease, ensuring that any early signs get treated as soon as possible. Then, you’ll receive a thorough professional cleaning from one of our skilled dental hygienists, removing all of the plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth to prevent the development of cavities.

Athletic Mouthguards/Sportsguards

If you or your child participates in contact sports or any hobbies that could put your smile in harm’s way, we recommend investing in one of our custom-crafted athletic mouthguards. They’re made from durable, cushioning acrylic that will help protect your teeth, jawbone, and jaw joints from impact, preventing an unexpected trip to the emergency dentist. In the end, investing in a sportsguard is the best preventive measure for both your oral health and wallet!

Nightguards for Bruxism

Bruxism, also known as the nightly grinding and clenching of teeth, is a common condition that can wreak havoc on your oral health, causing enamel erosion and even secondary conditions, like TMJ disorder, when left untreated. We offer customized nightguards that you can wear as you sleep to protect and cushion your joints, teeth, and muscles from the strain of clenching. This can not only preserve your smile, but also prevent the development of other chronic concerns down the road, like TMJ disorder.

Ozone Therapy

Ozone therapy is a completely natural, non-invasive way to help kill microorganisms within the mouth, helping to prevent and treat minor cavities. Ozonated water can aid in enamel remineralization, which strengthens the protective, outermost layer of the teeth, as well as help treat dental sensitivity, minimizing discomfort you may feel due to enamel erosion. Many dental practices don’t offer ozone therapy, but with the variety of benefits it provides, it’s an excellent added way to keep the teeth and gums healthy.
