Routine Checkups & Cleanings
Routine checkups and cleanings are the foundation of great oral health. These visits give your dentist the chance to remove plaque, polish your teeth, and catch potential issues before they become larger concerns. It’s a simple habit that can save you from future discomfort and costly treatments.
- Early detection: Finds small cavities or enamel wear before they require complex care
- Thorough cleaning: Removes buildup in hard-to-reach areas and leaves your mouth feeling refreshed
- Personalized guidance: Offers practical tips to make brushing and flossing more effective at home
- Healthy foundation: Keeps your gums strong and your smile radiant all year long
Diagnostic Exams & X-Rays
Diagnostic exams and digital x-rays reveal what can’t be seen during a visual exam. They help uncover small cavities, bone changes, or other early warning signs that may not cause symptoms yet. These insights allow your dentist to treat issues early and maintain your long-term oral health.
- Advanced imaging: Provides detailed views of teeth, roots, and bone for accurate assessments
- Early intervention: Prevents minor issues from progressing into more extensive treatment
- Comfortable process: Uses low-radiation digital technology for safe, stress-free imaging
- Comprehensive care: Helps Dr. Listiyo tailor a treatment plan specific to your dental needs
Gum Disease Prevention & Care
Healthy gums are essential for a balanced, confident smile. Gum disease can start quietly, often showing only mild redness or bleeding at first. Regular visits allow your dentist to track gum health and recommend treatments that protect both your smile and overall wellness.
- Comprehensive evaluations: Detects early signs of inflammation before permanent damage occurs
- Custom treatment: May include professional cleaning or deeper scaling to restore gum health
- Educational support: Shares techniques for better daily care and prevention at home
- Ongoing protection: Encourages healthier gums and supports your long-term oral stability
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer screenings are a simple yet vital part of your routine dental visit. During this exam, your dentist checks the tongue, cheeks, lips, and throat for any unusual changes. It’s a quick, painless process that provides reassurance and peace of mind about your health.
- Early discovery: Detects tissue changes before they become visible concerns
- Complete evaluation: Examines all soft tissues for color, texture, or shape variations
- Quick procedure: Takes just minutes and is included in your regular exam
- Health assurance: Helps ensure your overall well-being at every visit
Fluoride Treatments For Cavity Prevention
Fluoride treatments help protect and strengthen enamel against daily wear and decay. This fast, comfortable treatment is ideal for both children and adults who want extra defense between cleanings. It’s a simple addition to your visit that keeps your teeth stronger for longer.
- Enamel protection: Shields teeth from acid erosion caused by food and beverages
- Cavity prevention: Reduces the chance of new decay forming between checkups
- Quick application: Takes only minutes but provides months of enamel reinforcement
- Family-friendly care: Beneficial for children developing stronger smiles and adults with sensitivity
