Dental Hygiene and Cleanings

Excellent Dentistry Provided by Compassionate Professionals

At Oxley Comprehensive Dentistry, we understand the importance of maintaining your teeth, gums and overall systemic health. Our dedicated team of registered dental hygienists is committed to providing a personalized and professional approach to your dental care.

Personalized Touch:

Our registered dental hygienists take the time to establish a strong relationship with each patient. Through assessments and discussions, we gain a comprehensive understanding of your oral health needs. This approach allows us to tailor treatments that go beyond the standard, ensuring you receive the best recommendations and care.

Services During Cleaning Visits:

  • Dental Hygiene Therapy: Whether you’re seeking preventative care (regular cleanings) or addressing periodontal disease, our hygienists use the Airflow Prophylaxis Master for effective dental hygiene therapy. This advanced technology, called Guided Biofilm Therapy, ensures a thorough and comfortable cleaning experience. If you dislike the “scraping” during a cleaning, you will be relieved to know that this system reduces (sometimes eliminates) the need for scraping. His technique involves systematic treatment protocols based on individual patient diagnosis and risk assessments in order to achieve optimal results. The treatment is given in the least invasive way, with the highest level of comfort, safety and efficiency.
    • Find out more about GBT through EMS Dental, developers of the Airflow Prophylaxis Master (https://www.ems-dental.com/en)
  • Regular monitoring of your gum health is essential. Our hygienists perform gum measurements at minimum once a year to assess the health of your gums and identify any signs of periodontal disease.
  • Proper Brushing and Flossing Technique: Education is a key component of our approach. Our hygienists guide you on proper brushing and flossing techniques, empowering you to maintain optimal oral hygiene at home.
  • Oral Health Counseling: Beyond the cleaning, we provide comprehensive oral health counseling. This includes guidance on diet, managing oral health during pregnancy, addressing dry mouth, and understanding the impact of medical conditions and medications on oral health.
  • Bacterial Testing: We utilize bacterial testing with MicrobLinkDX to identify specific bacteria that may contribute to oral health issues. This information guides our recommendations for personalized treatments. (https://microbelinkdx.com/)

Aside from floss fetishists or masochists with insurance, nobody “wants” to go to the dentist. But Dr. Oxley and his staff make each visit feel like a break from life. The office is clean, warm & welcoming, the staff all have great personalities, there’s a sweetheart little pug to pet on, they have the latest dental technology (seriously cool toys) and they offer several “spa” amenities for free!! Grab an espresso, water or maybe an essential oils infused hot towel!!! Dr. Oxley is the exact opposite of the typical physician. He is genuinely personable and easy to talk to, doesn’t rush you out the door, he takes real one-on-one time, explains everything, answers all of our questions (even dumb ones) and treats you like a human, not a chart. Skilled, straightforward, and real. My wife & 3 daughters have been to a couple of prominent “big name” dentist’s in New Bern & Morehead. Dr. Oxley & crew are on a whole other level & there’s just no comparison. I will never go to another dentist in this area and cannot give Dr Oxley anything but my highest recommendation.
