What to Expect at Your Dental Appointment
Here is what we will do when you come in to make your experience as pleasant as possible:
- We will partner with you to provide you with an oral health experience. Our approach to dentistry is centered around the philosophy that every mouth is unique and deserves special attention. Because of this, Dr. Jetton will collaborate with you so that you can make the best decision for your oral health together.
- Education is an important part of every visit. We don’t just care for your teeth and send you on your way. We will also teach you how to care for your teeth and maintain a vibrant smile during all of your daily activities. Good oral hygiene habits are essential for maintaining a healthy smile.
- We provide a comfortable and relaxing environment. Dentists make some people nervous. We understand that and take special care to make our office as comfortable as possible. Our patients are heard and treated with compassion. You are a member of our family, and we want you to feel at home with us.
We know that receiving quality service is a huge consideration when choosing which dentist to visit. We are here to help transform your smile because we want to make sure that you are getting the most out of your teeth every day.
Dental Checkups & Cleanings
While we’ll definitely keep an eye out for cavities during your checkup, we’ll also look for things like the early signs of oral cancer. That way, patients can get treatment quickly. With a professional cleaning, plaque and bacteria buildup from the hard-to-reach areas of your mouth is completely eliminated. As a bonus, this also takes care of minor surface stains to help your smile stay white!
Gum Disease Treatment
Are your gums easily irritated or swollen? Do they bleed when you brush and floss them? If your gums have been red or sensitive for a while, there is a good chance that you could be dealing with the early stages of gum disease, otherwise known as gingivitis. We can help you regain a happy and healthy smile with treatments like scaling and root planing and laser gum treatment.
Nightguards for Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Millions of people unconsciously grind their teeth while they sleep—are you one of them? Do you wake up with headaches, a sore jaw, or have teeth that look worn down? If so, we can provide you with a custom-made nightguard. This comfortable mouthpiece is only worn to bed and will protect your teeth, dental work, and jaw muscles while you rest.
TMJ Treatment
We can help patients dealing with issues that not only affect their teeth, but their jaw joint as well (known as the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ). Things like teeth grinding or an uneven bite can cause stiffness, pain, and headaches like migraines. Our team can identify the root cause of the discomfort, correct any imbalances, and create custom mouthguards that take the stress off of overworked and strained facial muscles.
