Are you or your family member due for a dental cleaning or exam? At Corson Dentistry in Parker, we emphasize top-quality preventive dentistry to help patients safeguard their smiles. Our modern dental facility is equipped with the latest dental technologies to help each dental cleaning and preventive appointment be as comfortable as effective as possible!
Quality Prevention for Your Healthiest Smile
Our dentists recommend brushing your teeth twice a day, and flossing once per day to fight plaque build-up. While maintaining optimal oral hygiene habits is an essential component of creating your healthiest smile, the only way to fully eradicate plaque and tartar buildup is through professional dental cleanings by a dental hygienist. That’s why Corson Dentistry emphasizes recommendations by the American Dental Association, recommending patients receive a professional cleaning or dental checkup at least every six months!
By visiting our Parker dental office for your regularly scheduled preventive appointments, you can:
- Banish plaque build-up. Plaque is a sticky, bacteria-filled deposit that adheres to your teeth, and when it accumulates excessively, can result in tartar, which discolors your teeth.
- Guard your smile against tooth decay. Tooth decay happens over time and, when left untreated, can lead to tooth loss. Through preventive cleanings and checkups, your team at Corson Dentistry can diagnose issues that cause tooth decay and develop a plan to save the affected teeth.
- Halt gum disease. Visiting your dentist regularly is one of the best ways to detect periodontal concerns like gum disease and gingivitis in their earliest stages, so we can treat the problem before it causes significant damage to your health.
Preventive Dental Exams
At each preventive visit, our hygienists will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums for potential problems, including signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and more. Our team will also occasionally take digital x-rays of your mouth to understand what’s happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums and discover issues as early as possible. How often we’ll take x-rays depends on your medical/dental history and current condition. While some patients may only need x-rays every couple of years, others may need them as often as every six months. At Corson Dentistry, our team uses the latest digital x-ray technology to make the process quick and comfortable.
Professional Dental Cleaning
Before the dental cleaning process begins, our dental hygienists first inspect the surface of your teeth to determine if you have any cavities and to check the condition of any existing fillings. We’ll then perform a gentle periodontal exam to check the health of your gums by taking measurements of the “pockets” that separate the teeth and gums, which can contain bacteria and other issues related to gum disease as they grow.
Following the exam, our hygienists will remove any tartar from the teeth with a thorough cleaning and polishing. You’ll leave our Parker dental office with clean, sparkly smile and renewed, healthy teeth!
Nightguards For TMJ Pain
For patients who experience tooth grinding at night, also known bruxism, our team can craft custom-fitted nightguards. Bruxism night guards can help alleviate the symptoms of bruxism and TMJ disorders, including headaches, uneven wear to the teeth, and jaw health concerns.
Mouthguards For Athletics
Participating in sports can come with the risk of dental injuries. Custom-fitted athletic mouthguards from our Parker dental office can protect your teeth from injury, damage, and concussions, so you can enjoy your athletic activities without worry.
