General & Preventive Dentistry

We offer comprehensive general and preventative dentistry here at Smile craft for you and your family. Our focus is you feel comfortable and to inform you on the best ways on making your gums and teeth as healthy as possible.

Preventive Dentistry for All

Prevention is better than a cure! With that in mind, regular dental check-ups two times a year are necessary to prevent any cavities and other problems from developing as it can occur at any given time. Proper dental care is essential to maintain your teeth. You should brush your teeth and floss twice daily, eat a well-balanced diet, and visit your dentist for a checkup twice a year.

Dental Exams & Dental Cleanings

We provide dental services of overall comprehensive exams of teeth, gums, and jaw. We offer you the best preventive care and expert and honest advice to keep you and your teeth healthy. Our team and dentist have the highest levels of training and we will put you at ease the minute you walk through our doors. We invite you to come in for a dental check-up. Please contact us to schedule your preventive dental care appointment.

Dental cleanings include hygienic teeth cleaning and polishing. This further includes necessary scaling and root planning also known as a deep cleaning to prevent gingival bacteria.

Tooth Decay and Cavities

Cavities are holes in the enamel caused by plaque buildup on your teeth. Plaque is acidic, and over time, the acids can break down the protective enamel layer. As bacteria penetrate the enamel, they can reach deeper layers and the nerves of your teeth, leading to decay.

Fillings: smaller cavities that are easier to treat—and it is a less invasive process for you, too. We use high tech tools to clean out the bacteria and then seal over the opening with a natural tooth-colored composite material to keep away additional bacteria

Root Canals: bigger and deep cavities can easily turn into root canals also if any infection has gotten close to your tooth nerve. Our x-rays and professional and honest diagnosis of treatment that is best for you will help us determine whether a filling will suffice, or whether a root canal is the best option.

Mouth Guards and Retainers

If needed, and after a comprehensive exam with our dentist, mouth guards or retainers may be recommended. We can create and provide a custom solution tailored to your needs.

Who Needs a Mouth Guard?

- Do you wake up with sore muscles in your face or jaw joint?
- Are you experiencing frequent headaches?
- Do you clench your teeth?
- Do you grind your teeth at night?
- Is your jaw "popping"?

A custom-fitted mouth guard, usually worn at night, can help alleviate these discomforts. Made of thin plastic that fits only your teeth, our custom mouth guards offer protection against grinding and clenching. Using our 3D intra-oral scanner, we ensure a secure and comfortable fit, crafted in our partner lab for maximum protection.

Please note that most insurance plans may not cover mouth guards and retainers. For further questions or to schedule an exam regarding any of the concerns listed above, feel free to call or email us.
