We emphasize preventive care to all of our patients and provide individualized home care instructions. When you come to us as a new patient, we begin our relationship with you by conducting a 1 ½ hour exam and consultation. During this visit we will discuss your dental history and do an oral cancer screening, a gum disease analysis, TMJ analysis, a soft tissue exam, and a tooth-by-tooth analysis. We will then formulate a treatment plan, explaining what needs to be done and why. We will use x-rays and photographs to illustrate any problems we see. We believe in providing our patients with as much information as possible!

In addition to regular checkups and cleanings, we offer the following preventive care services:

• Dental sealants ---an excellent and necessary adjunct to preventive care, by filling in the grooves on teeth you can lock out bacteria and prevent decay for an extended period of time
