What Is Preventive Dentistry?

Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining your oral health before problems develop. Rather than waiting for pain or damage to occur, this proactive approach combines professional treatments with at-home care to keep your smile healthy for life.

Our preventive services include routine cleanings, comprehensive exams, early detection screenings, and protective treatments that strengthen your teeth against decay and disease. By partnering with our gentle dentist, you’re investing in long-term oral health that saves both your smile and your wallet.

Comprehensive Preventive Dentistry Services

Professional Dental Cleanings and Exams

Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar that can’t be eliminated with brushing and flossing alone. During your visit, our dental hygienist will gently clean your teeth while Dr. Silva performs a thorough examination to check for signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns.

Custom Mouthguards

Protect your teeth during sports or physical activities with professionally fitted mouthguards. Unlike over-the-counter options, our custom guards provide superior comfort and protection tailored specifically to your mouth.

Occlusal Night Guards

If you grind or clench your teeth at night, a custom night guard can prevent damage to your teeth and reduce jaw pain. These comfortable, durable appliances are designed to fit perfectly and protect your smile while you sleep.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Early detection saves lives. During your regular visits, Dr. Silva performs thorough oral cancer screenings to identify any suspicious areas or changes in your mouth, ensuring prompt treatment if needed.

Fluoride Treatments

Strengthen your teeth against decay with professional fluoride applications. These quick, painless treatments help remineralize tooth enamel and provide extra protection, especially beneficial for patients at higher risk for cavities.

Dental Sealants

Protect the grooves and pits of your back teeth with thin plastic coatings that prevent bacteria from settling in these hard-to-clean areas. Sealants are particularly effective for children and teens but benefit patients of all ages.

What to Expect During Your Preventive Care Visit

Your comfort is our priority from the moment you walk through our doors. During your appointment, we’ll review your medical history, discuss any concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs and schedule.

Our gentle approach means using the latest techniques and technology to minimize discomfort while maximizing results. We take time to explain each step of your treatment and answer any questions you might have.

Most preventive visits include a professional cleaning, comprehensive exam, and discussion about your at-home oral hygiene routine. Depending on your individual needs, we may recommend additional protective treatments or schedule follow-up appointments.

Advanced Technology for Comfortable Care

Dr. Silva’s dental office utilizes modern technology to enhance your experience and improve treatment outcomes. Digital X-rays provide detailed images with reduced radiation exposure, while intraoral cameras help you see exactly what we see during your exam.
