Dental Checkups & Cleanings
These routine visits are recommended every six months by our team as well as the American Dental Association to help keep your teeth and gums in good health. In addition to an in-depth examination from your dentist in Westbury, you’ll receive a thorough cleaning from a skilled dental hygienist to remove any plaque and tartar build-up. We’ll also polish and floss your teeth, helping remove surface stains to make your smile feel rejuvenated until the next time we see you!
Children’s Dentistry
Our dentists and team love seeing patients of all ages, including children! Dental sealants, fluoride treatments, and our other kid-friendly services are especially helpful at preventing decay and keeping your favorite growing smile bright and thriving. Our team also understands how important it is to make sure that every visit is not only educational but also fun and positive. That’s why we always make sure to respect your child’s feelings and meet them where they are during every appointment.
Gum Disease Treatment
As one of the most common oral health problems in the world, gum disease is estimated to affect one out of every two adults in the nation. Fortunately, we can bring in a local periodontist, or gum disease specialist, who has focused training on treating this infection and helping prevent consequential oral health problems from arising, like tooth loss. If we notice signs of gum disease during your routine checkup and cleaning, and you require more advanced treatment, our specialist can help minimize or even reverse your symptoms to get your oral health back on the right track.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that’s added to dental hygiene products and municipal water sources because it has enamel-strengthening properties that help fortify and protect the teeth from common dental problems like cavities. If you’re at a high risk of cavities or would like some extra protection from them until your next checkup and cleaning, we recommend receiving a fast and completely painless fluoride treatment.
Dental Sealants
When deep pits and grooves in the molars become filled with food debris and plaque, it can cause the bacteria present to erode the protective enamel, resulting in decay. Dental sealants act as shield-like coverings to keep harmful debris from building up in the fissures of molars and prevent cavities from forming, helping children and adults alike drastically minimize their risk.
Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards
If you participate in a local adult sports league or your child is in athletics at school, you may want to consider investing in a customized mouthguard to protect your teeth and jaw. Our sportsguards are made from cushioning acrylic material that helps protect the jaw joints in addition to preventing dental damage, helping you avoid the need for an unexpected visit to the emergency dentist.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Similar to our custom mouthguards, we also offer durable, protective nightguards for our patients who grind and clench their teeth as they sleep. Over time, this action can lead to cracked, worn-down, and even loose teeth when left unchecked. It can also cause jaw pain and even headaches. A customized nightguard can protect your teeth from grinding and gnashing against each other, preserving your smile
