CLEANING & EXAMS

We understand that many patients operate on a system where they only visit the dentist when they notice dental pain. As experienced dentists, we can tell you that that approach to dental care will only cause more issues in the future. Taking a proactive approach to dentistry vastly minimizes the number of dental issues you develop, saves you time and money, and improves your overall health.

Preventive dental care is designed to address minor dental issues before they advance as well as help you maintain a healthy, functional smile. COZY dental works diligently to help you understand the importance of preventive dental care and how it can benefit your dental health. We often recommend patients visit our office twice a year for their routine dental visit.

During this time, you will receive a comprehensive dental examination that will include a thorough evaluation of three major parts of your smile.

Teeth: Tooth decay can destroy the structure and health of your teeth if left untreated. Patients of any age can develop tooth decay, so it is imperative that all patients undergo thorough screening. To help identify tooth decay, we use latest technology laser, a non-invasive device for the early detection of cavities. This technology allows us to cavities that other traditional methods may miss.

Gums: Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. If left untreated, gum disease can negatively impact your oral health and overall wellness. During your visit, we thoroughly examine the condition of the gums and assess your risk for gum disease to determine if treatment is needed.

Occlusion: One of the leading causes of tooth damage, facial pain, and discomfort is dysfunction in the occlusal system. When your bite is damaged or misaligned, it can lead to a vast range of dental issues. For your teeth, gums, joints, and muscles to work to the best of their ability, they need to function in harmony.
