The Start Of The Year Is Great For Checkups

If you missed your holiday checkup, there’s still an opportunity to keep up with your smile. Your oral health needs exist year-round, and by coming in for a cleaning and an examination in January, you give yourself a great reminder every year. This way, you can have one appointment when it begins and another near July 4th, helping you to stay on track.

While you wait to schedule your next checkup, bacterial biofilm could continue to pile up. This starts as plaque, but if you do not brush and floss appropriately, it hardens into a tougher material called calculus (or tartar). When this happens, you need the help of a qualified dental professional to remove it for you, so it’s important to stick to your schedule of prevention.

While You’re Here, Let’s Talk About Your Smile

Your prevention is a pivotal part of your smile maintenance, but it’s not all that we do. We also offer a range of restorative and cosmetic treatments, all designed to help you have a happy and healthy smile. Thankfully, your biannual checkups are a great place to discuss all of your options. Whether you are looking for a straighter, gleaming set of teeth or repair for your damage, we’re here to help you achieve the smile you deserve.

If it has been a while since your last visit, you may have a cavity or two that need to be filled. Through durable composite resin, we can renew your dental defenses with a dental filling that blends in with the shade of your natural enamel. Your journey starts with your checkup, so don’t put yours off any longer!
