Maintain Healthy, Beautiful Teeth for Years to Come

Avoiding cavities and other common dental problems is often as simple as doing just two things: practicing daily at-home oral hygiene, and regularly visiting Lake View Dental Center for preventive appointments. Our friendly, welcoming team is eager to help you and your loved ones maintain healthy, beautiful teeth for years to come with personalized checkups and other services aimed at preventing common dental issues.

Dental Checkups & Cleanings

No matter how diligently you brush and floss at home, you’re still going to need two dental checkups and cleanings each year. Our friendly team will make sure you’re comfortable as they examine your mouth for signs of tooth decay or other oral health problems. If they find anything concerning, we can plan to treat it accordingly. Then, one of our hygienists will thoroughly clean and polish your teeth, removing harmful plaque and surface stains for a brighter, healthier smile.

Nightguards for Bruxism

Chronic teeth grinding, also called bruxism, often develops due to stress, an uneven jaw, or TMJ disorder. Whatever the reason, untreated bruxism can severely damage tooth enamel and jaw joints. Since grinding typically occurs while a person is sleeping, a customized nightguard can make all the difference when it comes to protecting the smile. These comfortable appliances fit over the teeth to apply soft yet durable cushioning between the upper and lower arches.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is one of the most important minerals for your oral health. When the teeth are regularly exposed to fluoride, they become stronger and more resilient against decay. After our hygienists have finished your routine cleaning, we can take just a few minutes to apply a topical fluoride varnish to your teeth to give them an extra boost of protection. Although fluoride treatments are often recommended for our younger patients, they can also benefit adults who are particularly cavity-prone.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer is too often fatal, but it can likely be treated when caught early. For that reason, oral cancer screenings are a standard part of our regular exams. If our dentists’ expertly trained eyes notice any suspicious sores or growths in your mouth or throat during your appointment, we’ll ensure you get a professional diagnosis right away. That way, if you do end up having oral cancer, your chances of successful recovery are as high as possible.
