Preventative
At Stoyoma Dental Clinic, we believe that the best way to maintain a healthy smile is through proactive and preventative care. Our comprehensive preventative services, including regular check-ups, cleanings, and personalized oral hygiene advice, are designed to catch potential issues early and keep your teeth and gums in optimal condition. By focusing on prevention, we help you avoid more complex and costly treatments in the future, ensuring your smile stays bright and healthy for years to come.
Exams
Description: Regular dental exams are the cornerstone of preventive care. At Stoyoma Dental Clinic, our comprehensive exams include a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, and mouth. We check for early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues, ensuring that potential problems are caught early when they are easiest to treat.
Why it’s important: Early detection of dental issues can prevent more serious and costly treatments down the line.
Cleanings
Description: Professional dental cleanings go beyond what your regular brushing and flossing can achieve. Our skilled hygienists use specialized tools to remove plaque, tartar, and stains, leaving your teeth clean and polished. Regular cleanings also help prevent gum disease and maintain overall oral health.
Why it’s important: Routine cleanings prevent the buildup of harmful bacteria that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
Digital X-Rays
Description: At Stoyoma Dental Clinic, we use the latest digital x-ray technology for a detailed view of your teeth and jawbone. Digital x-rays are faster, safer, and more comfortable than traditional x-rays, emitting significantly less radiation while providing high-quality images for accurate diagnosis.
Why it’s important: Digital x-rays allow for early detection of cavities, bone loss, and other hidden dental issues, enabling prompt and effective treatment.
Fluoride Treatments
Description: Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities. Our fluoride treatments are quick and painless, offering a boost of protection, especially for children or individuals prone to decay.
Why it’s important: Regular fluoride treatments can significantly reduce the risk of cavities, especially in areas that are harder to clean.
Fissure Sealants
Description: Fissure sealants are a protective coating applied to the grooves of your back teeth (molars) to prevent food and bacteria from getting stuck and causing decay. This non-invasive procedure is particularly beneficial for children and teenagers but can also be useful for adults.
Why it’s important: Sealants provide an extra layer of defense against cavities in areas that are most vulnerable.
Bruxing Guards (Night Guards)
Description: Bruxism, or teeth grinding, can cause serious damage to your teeth and jaw over time. Our custom-fitted bruxing guards are designed to protect your teeth from the effects of grinding and clenching, reducing wear and tear while promoting a better night’s sleep.
Why it’s important: Using a night guard can prevent damage to your teeth, reduce jaw pain, and improve sleep quality.
