Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Every six months, you should expect to visit our dental office in Modesto for a regular checkup and cleaning. Doing so will not only allow us to check for early signs of dental decay, gum disease, cavities, and oral cancer but also give your teeth the thorough cleaning they need. We’ll remove plaque and tartar build-up as well as produce a customized treatment plan if you require additional services to improve your oral health.
Gum Disease Treatment
Bleeding and inflamed gum tissues are often the result of a bacterial infection that develops because of poor oral hygiene. If symptoms are caught in their earliest stages, they can be reversed; however, if left untreated, gum pockets and potential bone and tooth loss can occur. Our team can use scaling and root planing as well as antibiotic treatment to target and eliminate areas of bacteria, resulting in better gum health in the long run.
Nightguards for Bruxism
It’s natural for tooth enamel to wear down over time because of the daily use it endures. However, if you grind or clench your teeth at night, you may be hurrying this process without even knowing it. Bruxism, as it is clinically known, can cause tooth sensitivity and jaw pain, in addition to enamel erosion. To prevent these problems, we can produce a custom nightguard that fits over the top row of teeth and keeps them from touching throughout the night. With this added form of protection, we can slow down wear and tear so that you can enjoy a pain- and damage-free smile.
TMJ Treatment
Persistent jaw pain can become debilitating if left untreated. Whether it is caused by facial trauma, stress, or an uneven bite, it’s important that our dentists identify the root cause if discomfort and damage are to be avoided. Using equilibration/occlusal adjustments, we can alter specific teeth and/or restorations that are causing a poor bite so that they come together seamlessly and alleviate pressure previously placed on your jaw joints.
