Preventive Dentistry
As the name suggests, the goal of preventive dentistry is to help you avoid cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Our holistic dentists in Grand Rapids, MI, offer a full range of preventive dental services to help keep you on the right track toward your healthiest smile yet.
Teeth Cleanings & Exams
While you can remove plaque at home by brushing and flossing, only a dental professional can remove tartar. Since tartar buildup is a main cause of gum disease, cavities, and other health issues, we recommend teeth cleanings at least twice a year.
​
Periodontal Maintenance
During periodontal maintenance, we’re able to remove bacteria from deep gum pockets around your teeth. This can greatly reduce inflammation in the mouth and help alleviate symptoms such as red, swollen, or bleeding gums.
​
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer screenings are a simple but powerful way to help save lives. By detecting any lesions or other abnormalities early, we’re able to help safeguard your overall health and guide you to the appropriate specialist for follow-up care.
Dental Sealants
Concerned about tooth decay? Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings we’re able to apply to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. While often recommended for children, they may also be used for adults—especially if you have a history of cavities.
​
Night Guards
Our night guards are custom-made to fit your smile, and help maintain a healthy relationship between your upper and lower jaws. Not only does this make them more comfortable to wear, but it drastically improves their effectiveness.
