Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Our team starts each routine visit with a thorough professional cleaning from one of our dental hygienists. This involves removing all plaque and tartar accumulation from the surface of your teeth to minimize bacteria accumulation and prevent other dental concerns, like decay and toothaches. We’ll then polish and floss your teeth, leaving your smile feeling refreshed. Following your cleaning, one of our knowledgeable dentists will examine your teeth and gums, conduct an oral cancer screening, and inform you of their findings. If needed, our front desk staff will provide you with treatment plan cost estimates and schedule follow-up visits before you leave.
Children’s Dentistry
Our practice has been seeing entire families for years, making keeping up with your household’s smiles a breeze. We’re happy to treat children in addition to adults, and we provide many kid-friendly services to stop cavities from forming and keep your little one’s growing smile on the right track. We can also accommodate families by scheduling multiple appointments in consecutive blocks, allowing you to make fewer trips to the office.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss as well as a common oral health condition that’s estimated to impact one out of every two adults in the U.S. according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Our team screens for symptoms of gum disease at each of your routine checkups, allowing us to take fast action to prevent the infection from spreading and leading to more severe consequences. If we do spot signs of gum disease in Stuart, we may recommend a deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, to help get the infection under control.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a natural mineral found throughout nature, like in the soil, air, and fresh fruits and vegetables. However, it’s most known to be added to oral hygiene products and local water supplies for its enamel-strengthening effects. If we notice that you’re not receiving enough to keep your teeth strong, we can help fortify your enamel by applying a fluoridated varnish to them.
Dental Sealants
These are clear coverings that we paint over the top of the molars. Once hardened, they act like umbrellas and prevent food debris and plaque from building up in the pits and grooves of the teeth and causing cavities. Once applied, dental sealants in Stuart can continue protecting your teeth for over a decade.
