Nightguards for Bruxism

Do your teeth seem flatter and more worn-down over time? Has waking up with jaw pain become a regular part of your routine? These troubling symptoms usually indicate bruxism, which is the fancy name for habitual teeth grinding. As a solution, our team can provide a custom-made nightguard that provides plenty of comfort and much-needed protection. Since most patients experience bruxism while sleeping, this appliance can protect your vulnerable smile until morning.

VELscope Oral Cancer Screenings

On average, a person dies from oral cancer every hour here in North America. What’s worse is that many of these cases could have been recovered from if they were correctly diagnosed sooner. Your dentist is the first line of defense against this dangerous type of cancer, which is why screenings are a crucial part of your checkups. One of our dentists will use VELscope technology, which shines a harmless frequency of blue light into the mouth and clearly reveals areas that may be abnormal. Further testing can be arranged if any troubling findings arise from your screening – we want to ensure your safety!

Fluoride Treatments

Regular exposure to fluoride offers lasting positive improvements regarding a patient’s oral health – in fact, studies show that this mineral can strengthen tooth enamel and aid in the remineralization process, which means that you’re likely to experience fewer cavities over time. If our team determines that you could use an extra boost, professional fluoride treatments are available during routine appointments. The process only takes a few minutes to complete!
