Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Basic dental checkups and cleanings are pivotal to your oral healthcare, as they’re designed to put your smile on the right track. Our dentists can establish a baseline when meeting with you and checking for any signs of decay, disease, infection, or damage. But no appointment is complete without our team learning more about your needs and concerns – factors that allow us to provide helpful tips you can use at home.
Scaling & Root Planing
When inflammation and bleeding are the result of a bacterial attack on your gums, this two-part process can give you back your oral health. Our dentists will remove accumulated plaque and tartar before smoothing out the tooth roots to encourage healing.
Nightguards for Bruxism
If you’re experiencing enamel erosion and jaw pain caused by teeth grinding (bruxism), we can create a custom nightguard to protect your smile. Based on impressions taken of your teeth and bite, we can have a cushioned oral appliance crafted to fit snugly and comfortably inside your mouth, which you will only wear to bed. If any pressure is applied, the nightguard will absorb it so that your teeth and jaw no longer sustain any damage.
TMJ Treatment
Chronic jaw pain can be a distant memory with the help of TMJ treatment. Using customized solutions, Dr. Jack and Dr. Horton can get to the root of the issue and recommend solutions that will alleviate unnecessary pressure placed on your jaw joints and surrounding muscles. This approach doesn’t just produce increased comfort within a short period of time but instead delivers long-lasting relief.
