Without a firm foundation, your spectacular smile won't last. Routine exams and proper home care form the basis for lifelong oral health. As a general dentist, Dr. Van Dyke will perform your thorough oral evaluation, which will include an oral cancer screening, bite assessment, periodontal analysis, and tooth-by-tooth inspection. He'll discuss your concerns and issues such as a history of significant tooth decay, tender or bleeding gums, and habitual teeth grinding.
We believe in the old adage, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Through patient education and regular preventive visits to your general dentist, your oral health will be monitored. Dr. Van Dyke and our team will watch for changes in your mouth over time, then help you tweak your oral homecare routine for optimal results. We'll recommend conservative solutions to your problems, like root canal therapy to save an internally damaged tooth from extraction. Even patients who brush and floss regularly can get gum disease, tooth decay, or oral cancer. Let us partner with you to protect your smile long term.
In some cases, patients can book an exam and cleaning back to back. However, if you need a special cleaning, we'll need more time. In this case, we'll schedule your hygiene visit separately. Should gum disease settle in your mouth, our hygienists will work with you on a customized treatment plan to reverse the damage and decrease the potential for recurrence.
