Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Routine dental checkups and cleanings are the secret to maintaining a healthy and happy smile; not only do they keep your teeth and gums looking and feeling their best, but they also lower the chances of you experiencing a dental emergency or serious oral health issue. Appointments generally consist of a detailed examination of your mouth, X-ray imaging, an oral cancer screening, and of course, a thorough cleaning from our hygienist team.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is one of the most prevalent oral health conditions, and it often manifests with symptoms including swollen, tender, and reddened gum tissue that can even begin to recede. If you notice any of these symptoms, you shouldn’t hesitate to contact our team. Dr. David is also trained in the renowned Pat Allen Minimally Invasive Soft Tissue Grafting technique for more advanced cases.
Night Guards for Bruxism
Bruxism is a condition that’s characterized by nighttime (and often daytime) teeth grinding and jaw clenching, and though it might not seem like a big deal and often goes unnoticed, it can have damaging effects on your teeth and jaw. This includes worn enamel, chipped or cracked teeth, or even disorders with the temporomandibular joints (TMJ). To protect your smile, we can provide you with a customized night guard that cushions your mouth and will prevent the strain and pressure caused by this condition. Night guards are also used to protect dental work such as implants, veneers and crowns by separating the teeth and alleviating grinding and clenching forces that teeth may exert on each other.
TMJ Treatment
If you’re suffering from issues affecting your temporomandibular joints, also known as the TMJ, then you’re at potential risk for numerous problems that’ll affect your quality of life. These joints connect your jaw to the rest of your skull and are intricate in nature, and if they don’t function properly, jaw pain and soreness as well as bruxism headline a long list of potential complications. Dr. David and his team can help diagnose TMJ issues and prescribe treatments such as occlusal splints if needed.
