Contact UsDental Cleanings & Exams
Regular dental cleanings and exams are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. Teeth cleanings remove plaque and tartar, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease. Dental exams allow Dr. Oei to check for early signs of dental problems, ensuring timely treatment. Routine visits are key to preventing dental issues before they become serious.
Fluoride
Treatments
Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent cavities. Typically applied as a gel or varnish, this quick and painless treatment is particularly beneficial for children and individuals at a higher risk of developing tooth decay. Fluoride helps remineralize weakened enamel, offering an extra layer of protection for your teeth.
Dental
Sealants
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the back teeth to prevent cavities. They create a barrier that seals out food particles and bacteria, especially in deep grooves. Sealants are a quick and effective preventive measure, especially for children, to protect molars from decay.
Arestin
Gum Treatment
Arestin® is a targeted antibiotic treatment used to treat gum disease. It’s applied directly into gum pockets after a deep cleaning to fight bacteria and reduce inflammation. Arestin helps improve gum health and aids in the healing process, making it an effective tool in the management of periodontal disease.
Laser
Gum Treatment
Laser gum treatment is a modern, minimally invasive method for treating gum disease. Using a focused laser, this procedure targets and removes infected tissue while promoting faster healing. It’s less painful, reduces bleeding, and offers quicker recovery compared to traditional gum surgery.
Oral Cancer
Screenings
Oral cancer screenings are quick exams to check for signs of abnormal tissue or lesions in the mouth, throat, and surrounding areas. Early detection significantly improves the chances of successful treatment. Regular screenings are an important part of preventive dentistry to ensure your oral health remains in check.
