Proactive. Gentle. Long-Lasting.

Preventive care means more than routine cleanings. Through early detection, conservative treatments, and mercury-free materials, we help protect your smile before issues develop. Each visit focuses on preserving natural tooth structure, promoting healing, and preventing unnecessary stress on your body.

Our philosophy is simple: the best dental work is the kind you never need. By catching potential problems early, we reduce the need for invasive procedures and help you maintain a healthy, balanced mouth that lasts a lifetime.

Is Preventive Care for Me?

If you believe your dental care should protect more than your smile, the answer is yes. Preventive care is for anyone seeking a safer, healthier, and more natural approach to dentistry, one that keeps you feeling as good as you look.

Balanced. Naturally Restored.

Your mouth is a reflection of your overall health. By keeping your teeth and gums in balance, we support your immune system, reduce inflammation, and promote long-term vitality. Our goal is to restore, not replace, what nature intended.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Preventive Care

Types of Cleanings We Offer

Prophylaxis Cleaning

A routine cleaning for patients with healthy gums. This visit removes plaque and tartar from above the gum line, polishes the teeth, and helps prevent future buildup. It is the foundation of a strong preventive routine and keeps the mouth fresh, balanced, and healthy.

Periodontal Maintenance

Recommended for patients who have previously been treated for gum disease. This visit focuses on maintaining gum stability by removing bacteria and buildup from both above and below the gum line. It helps prevent inflammation from returning and supports long term gum and bone health.

Scaling and Root Planing

Sometimes called a deep cleaning, this treatment is used when active periodontal disease is present. Plaque and tartar are gently removed from deep pockets around the teeth, and the roots are smoothed to help the gums heal and reattach. This therapy is performed with a gentle piezo scaler to ensure comfort while promoting natural healing.

Supportive Holistic Care

Depending on the health of your gums and immune system, additional therapies may be recommended, such as ozone support or targeted antimicrobial rinses. These options reduce bacteria without harsh chemicals and help restore balance naturally.
