Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Dental checkups and cleanings are an important part of keeping common oral health problems at bay. Our professional cleanings will ensure that plaque and tartar don’t build up on the surface of your teeth and along your gumline, while our checkups and oral cancer screenings will assess your smile for symptoms of problems. If your dentist in Grand Prairie spots any concerns, our team will develop a treatment plan to address them before they have a chance to become worse.
Fluoride Treatment
At the end of your routine cleanings, our team will offer you a fluoride treatment. Fluoride is a naturally derived mineral best known to protect against cavities because it helps remineralize the enamel of teeth, which is the first line of defense against harmful oral bacteria. If you’re at a high risk of cavities or you’d like the peace of mind of an extra layer of protection until your next appointment with us, we highly recommend this quick and easy measure!
Nightguards for Bruxism
Teeth grinding is a common occurrence for patients with underlying bite problems or who are experiencing stress, and it often occurs at night. If you wake up with a sore jaw, notice that your teeth are more sensitive than usual, or your molars look ground down and flat, then it’s likely that you have bruxism. Our team can craft a customized nightguard to protect your teeth, jaw joints, and facial muscles from tension and damage.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
If you’ve been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea by a sleep physician, but you’ve found that your CPAP machine upsets your quality of rest instead of helping it, then you may be the perfect candidate for an oral sleep appliance. It’s noise-free, comfortable, and easy to take with you on the go. Simply put the appliance in your mouth before going to bed, and it will work to ensure your airway remains unobstructed to minimize snoring and ensure you receive enough oxygen.
