Exams - assessment of the head and neck, oral cavity and full periodontal evaluation. We also offer specific exams (for individual issues) and emergency exams.
X-Rays - 'to see is to know' - our digital radiographs allow us to look within, around and between the teeth that would otherwise go unseen. We recommend new radiographs yearly as early diagnosis is key.
Periodontal Debridement - "cleanings" that remove of plaque and calculus from the teeth by hand and/or ultrasonic instrumentation
*NEW* AirFlow One Technology - we are excited to offer this new service as of October 2022. Airflow can now replace conventional polishing but it's capabilites are so much more! Warm water, air and Erythritol powder are used in a fine mist to remove stain, biofilm (plaque), and even some calculus all while with less abrasiveness of traditional methods. The fine mist can access areas we've been unable to in the past. It can reach up to 4mm under the gums and is so gentle it can also be used on the tongue, cheeks, root surfaces as well as any demineralized areas.
Polishing - still available by request but has been replaced by our AirFlow One, it is used for the purpose of removal of plaque and stain
