In recent years, doctors have found that there is a distinct relationship between your dental health and overall health. One of the easiest steps you can take toward a healthy mouth and body is establishing an ongoing relationship with an experienced, trusted dental health care provider.
Our cosmetic dental team exercises a truly comprehensive approach to dental care, providing preventive, general, restorative and cosmetic services to Hellam & York patients. Daily flossing and brushing are essential to maintaining oral health, but regular checkups with a dentist are equally important. Our dentists can detect any potential complications in their earliest stages, helping to ensure your oral health for many years to come.
Preventative & General Care
Maintaining excellent oral health begins with regularly scheduled dental cleanings. Our practice offers a broad range of preventive and general dentistry services, including sealants, non-surgical periodontal therapy (treatment of the tooth below the gum line), and root canals.
Neck & Oral Cancer Screening
As part of every check-up and dental cleaning, our patients over the age of 13 undergo a neck and oral cancer screening using a VELscope. This revolutionary technology allows for quick and easy screening of oral abnormalities, using a blue-spectrum light to highlight unhealthy tissue. When necessary, we use digital x-ray technology to quickly and efficiently detect trouble areas that may not be visible to the naked eye.
TMJ Diagnosis & Treatment
Teeth grinding, or bruxism, is one of the most common conditions affecting our patients. If you wake with a sore or stiff jaw, suffer from unexplained headaches, or have tightness in the face, neck or shoulders, you may suffer from a temporomandibular joint disorder. This condition is often exacerbated by stress, and can take a tremendous toll on your teeth.
We offer a range of treatments for TMJ disorder, including facial massage, myofascial therapy, and working with a reflexologist. More complex cases of TMJ can be treated using custom mouth guards, worn at night to prevent teeth grinding.
