Preventive Dentistry in Glendale, CA

Our comprehensive dental exams include a detailed inspection of your teeth, gums, and mouth. With the latest diagnostic technology, we can detect any potential issues such as cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer at an early stage. Regular diagnostics play a crucial role in maintaining your oral health and allow us to create personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs.

Professional dental cleanings are essential not only for maintaining oral hygiene but also for preventing periodontal disease. Our skilled hygienists remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing might miss, helping to prevent cavities and gingivitis. These cleanings also offer an opportunity to review your oral hygiene practices and make adjustments as needed.

Guided Biofilm Therapy is a modern approach to dental cleaning that uses the revolutionary EMS Airflow system to efficiently remove biofilm, stains, and early calculus from teeth and gums. This gentle yet effective method reduces the need for traditional scaling, making the cleaning process more comfortable and less time-consuming for patients.

Digital X-rays offer a detailed view of your smile and supporting facial structure, providing crucial information that isn't visible during a standard oral exam. With minimal radiation exposure, these images allow us to accurately diagnose issues beneath the surface, such as impacted teeth, bone decay, cysts, tumors, and more, ensuring comprehensive care and treatment planning.

Fluoride treatments are used to help strengthen tooth enamel and make it more resistant to decay. By applying a high concentration of fluoride directly to the teeth, we can reverse early signs of cavity formation and protect teeth against acid from bacteria and sugars in the mouth.

Dental sealants are a preventive measure applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. These thin, protective coatings seal the deep grooves of these teeth, preventing food particles and bacteria from getting trapped and causing decay. Sealants are especially beneficial for children and teenagers but are also effective for adults at risk of cavities.

Periodontal care focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease. Our approach ranges from routine cleanings to more advanced treatments to manage gingivitis and periodontitis. By maintaining healthy gums, we protect your smile's foundation and overall health, preventing tooth loss and systemic health issues linked to gum disease.

Understanding that dental anxiety can prevent patients from seeking necessary care, we offer a range of sedation options to make your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. From nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to oral sedatives, we tailor sedation methods to your needs and preferences, ensuring a calm and positive dental visit.

Early detection of oral cancer significantly increases the chances of successful treatment. Our screenings involve a thorough examination of your oral cavity and associated structures for any signs of cancer or precancerous conditions. We recommend regular screenings for all patients, especially those at higher risk due to factors like tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, and HPV.

Custom-fitted night guards and sports guards are vital for protecting your teeth from damage due to night-time grinding (bruxism) and sports-related injuries. These personalized devices fit comfortably over your teeth, providing protection against wear, fractures, and trauma, preserving your smile's integrity and function.
