Oral cancer screenings are a preventive dental procedure that involves a thorough examination of the mouth, lips, tongue, and throat to detect early signs of oral cancer. This screening helps identify abnormal tissues or lesions at an early stage, increasing the chances of successful treatment and improving overall oral health outcomes.

Teeth cleaning is a routine dental procedure that involves the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from the surfaces of the teeth. Performed by a dental hygienist, this professional cleaning helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues, while also leaving the teeth polished and smooth.

Deep cleanings, also known as scaling and root planing, are a dental procedure aimed at treating gum disease by thoroughly cleaning the teeth below the gumline. This process involves removing plaque and tartar buildup from the roots of the teeth and smoothing the root surfaces to help the gums reattach to the teeth, promoting healing and preventing further progression of periodontal disease.

Fillings and sealants are common dental treatments used to protect and restore teeth. Fillings are used to repair cavities or damaged teeth by filling the affected area with a durable material, such as composite resin or amalgam, to restore the tooth's structure and function. Sealants, on the other hand, are a preventive measure, involving the application of a thin, protective coating to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, creating a barrier that helps prevent cavities by keeping out food particles and bacteria.

Root canal therapy is a dental procedure used to treat and save a tooth that is infected or severely decayed. Often times patients have extreme sharp or dull pain which can lead to discomfort from an inflamed nerve or infected tooth. Root canal therapy involves removing the damaged or infected pulp inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the inner chambers, and then filling and sealing the space to prevent further infection, ultimately preserving the tooth's structure.

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore function and aesthetics. They can be full (replacing all teeth) or partial (replacing some teeth) and are custom-made to fit comfortably in the mouth, allowing for improved chewing, speech, and appearance.

Partial dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored plastic base, often connected by metal framework to hold the denture in place. Partial dentures are custom-made to fit the patient’s mouth and blend in with the existing teeth, restoring both the function and appearance of a complete smile. They help prevent the remaining teeth from shifting, improve chewing and speaking abilities, and enhance overall oral health. Partial dentures are a cost-effective solution for those looking to replace missing teeth without opting for more permanent options like dental implants.

Nocturnal grinding, or bruxism, is a common condition where people unconsciously clench or grind their teeth while they sleep. It affects a significant portion of the population, with estimates of 9/10 of adults experiencing some form of nocturnal bruxism to some degree while they sleep. Bruxism can lead to a range of issues, such as tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and even damage to dental work over time. Benefits of using a night guard are protecting your teeth, reducing jaw pain, preventing headaches, preserving dental work, and improve sleep quality.

A night guard is a simple, non-invasive solution that can significantly reduce the negative effects of nighttime grinding, helping to protect oral health and improve overall well-being.
