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.

- 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/)
