Preventive Dentistry in Dallas, TX

Preventive dentistry is the foundation of a healthy smile. Regular visits allow us to clean areas of your teeth and gums you can’t reach at home, monitor changes in your oral health, and catch issues early before they become painful, costly, and more difficult to treat. By preventing tooth decay, gum disease, and dental trauma, patients can spend less time in the dental chair and enjoy the benefits of having optimal oral health.

What are my options for preventive dentistry?

• Dental Cleanings & Exams — Routine cleanings and exams help remove plaque and tartar, check for early signs of decay or gum disease, and keep your smile healthy year after year.
• Laser Gum Therapy — Laser gum treatment targets infected tissue with precision, helping to treat gum disease more comfortably and with less downtime than traditional methods.
• Athletic Mouthguards — Custom athletic mouthguards help protect teeth, lips, and jaws from sports-related injuries and are more comfortable and secure than over-the-counter guards.
• Custom Nightguards — A custom nightguard cushions the teeth to prevent wear and fractures caused by nighttime grinding or clenching, helping protect your smile while you sleep.
• Sleep Apnea Appliances — Oral sleep appliances gently reposition the jaw to keep the airway open, reducing snoring and improving breathing for those with mild to moderate sleep apnea.

Why is preventive dentistry important?

Preventive dentistry helps stop small problems from turning into bigger, more costly issues. Routine cleanings and exams remove plaque, catch decay or gum disease early, and help maintain strong, healthy teeth over time. Preventive care also allows your dentist to track changes in your oral health and provide personalized guidance so you can avoid pain, infection, and emergency treatment. Investing in prevention protects both your smile and your wallet!

Is preventive dentistry expensive?

Preventive dentistry is generally much more affordable than treating dental problems after they develop. Routine cleanings, exams, and even custom oral appliances can cost far less than fillings, crowns, root canals, or emergency visits. Many insurance plans also cover most or all preventive services, making them even more cost-effective, and our practice offers financing options as well.
