Dental Checkups & Cleanings
The American Dental Association, as well as our team at The Dental Place, recommends visiting the dentist once every six months for a checkup and cleaning. During your checkup, you’ll receive an oral cancer screening, and one of our experienced dentists will check your X-rays and mouth for signs of decay or gum disease. Then, you’ll receive a gentle and thorough professional cleaning from one of our experienced dental hygienists.
Dental Sealants
As one of the most common oral health problems among children and adults alike, cavities are an issue that we regularly treat here at The Dental Place. If you’re at-risk of decay, we recommend investing in dental sealants. These are clear coatings that we apply to the top visible surface of molars to seal them off, preventing food debris and bacteria from collecting in their pits and grooves. Protection lasts for years, helping you brush more effectively and keeping cavities at-bay.
Nightguards for Bruxism
If you clench during the day or grind your teeth as you sleep, you may experience sore jaw muscles and joints when you wake up, or even tension headaches as a result of overworked facial muscles. We can help prevent dental damage from bruxism as well as relieve uncomfortable symptoms with a customized nightguard. It will be crafted just for you, making it comfortable to wear and effective in protecting your teeth, muscles, and joints.
Children’s Dentistry
Our team is excellent with young patients! We provide an array of services to help growing smiles stay healthy, from children’s checkups and cleanings to fillings, crowns, frenectomies, pulp treatment, dental sealants, and more. Because we see all ages, we’re able to take care of everyone you love under one roof, including the youngest members of your family.
Frenectomies (Lip & Tongue-Tie Treatment)
From causing food aversion and speech impediments to low weight gain in babies, many of the signs of lip and tongue-ties are apparent from birth. We offer laser frenectomies for both kids and adults to improve their oral mobility and quality of life. With our state-of-the-art laser technology, we’re able to provide a gentler, more comfortable treatment experience with predictable, successful results.
TMJ Treatment
Jaw pain, tension, and headaches can quietly disrupt your sleep and daily life—and are often signs of TMJ disorder or nighttime grinding. Our team offers effective, personalized TMJ care using a custom-made occlusal guard designed to be worn while you sleep. By gently reducing clenching and grinding, this appliance helps protect your teeth, relax the jaw, and relieve discomfort—allowing you to wake up feeling more rested and pain-free.
