Preventive Dentistry in Newport News, VA

At Caring Dental Arts, we believe that prevention is better than cure. Our preventive dentistry services focus on maintaining the health of your teeth and gums and preventing dental problems before they occur. We offer a range of preventive services, including regular check-ups, cleanings, and X-rays to help detect any issues early on. Our team of experienced dental professionals will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that meets your unique dental needs. We also provide education on proper oral hygiene techniques and offer fluoride treatments and sealants to help protect your teeth from decay.

Diagnostic & Prevention 

Our diagnostic and prevention services aim to identify potential dental problems early on before they become more serious and require more invasive treatments. Our experienced dental professionals use the latest technologies and techniques to provide you with a comprehensive dental exam. During your exam, we will check for cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental issues. We will also take X-rays to help identify any potential problems that may not be visible to the naked eye.

Cleaning & Hygiene 

During a professional cleaning, our skilled hygienists will use specialized tools to remove build-up from your teeth, including hard-to-reach areas that cannot be cleaned with regular brushing and flossing. We will also polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave your smile looking bright and healthy.

 

Regular cleanings and hygiene appointments are essential for maintaining good oral health and preventing issues such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. Our team will work with you to create a personalized preventive dentistry plan, including regular cleanings and hygiene appointments, that will help you achieve and maintain optimal oral health.

Digital X-Rays 

Our digital X-ray services include both intraoral and extraoral X-rays, which allow us to capture detailed images of the teeth, gums, and jawbone. Intraoral X-rays are taken inside the mouth, providing a close-up view of individual teeth, while extraoral X-rays are taken outside the mouth, providing a broader view of the entire mouth and jawbone. Both types of X-rays are essential for detecting and diagnosing dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, and impacted teeth.

Fluoride Treatments 

Fluoride treatment is a simple and effective preventive dental service that can help protect your teeth against decay. Fluoride is a mineral that occurs naturally in many foods and water sources. It strengthens the tooth enamel and makes it more resistant to acid erosion from harmful bacteria. We offer fluoride treatments to both adults and children as part of our preventive dental care services. Our team of dental professionals will evaluate your oral health and determine the appropriate concentration of fluoride for your individual needs.

Periodontal Care 

Periodontal care is an essential aspect of maintaining optimal oral health. Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a common condition that affects many people. This disease occurs when the gums become inflamed and infected, leading to potential tooth loss if left untreated. At Caring Dental Arts, we offer comprehensive periodontal care services to help prevent and treat periodontal disease.

Oral Cancer Screenings 

Oral cancer is a serious and life-threatening disease that can affect anyone. At Caring Dental Arts, we offer oral cancer screenings to help detect the disease early and provide prompt treatment. Our experienced dentists use advanced technology and techniques to examine your mouth for any signs of cancer or precancerous lesions.

TMJ/TMD Treatment 

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) is a complex joint that connects the jawbone to the skull. TMJ disorder can cause a range of symptoms, including jaw pain, headaches, earaches, and difficulty opening and closing the mouth. At Caring Dental Arts, we offer TMJ/TMD treatment to help alleviate these symptoms and improve your quality of life.

 

Our team of dental professionals will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs. Treatment options may include wearing a night guard or splint to help reposition the jaw and alleviate pressure on the joint. We may also recommend lifestyle changes, such as stress reduction techniques and jaw exercises, to help manage your symptoms.
