Prevention & Diagnosis at OmDent
At OmDent Center for Dental Health, we believe that prevention is the cornerstone of maintaining excellent oral health. Our comprehensive services in prevention and diagnosis are designed to identify potential issues early and promote lasting wellness for our patients. Explore the various preventive treatments and diagnostic tools we offer to keep your smile healthy.
Oral Examinations
Regular oral examinations are vital for monitoring your dental health. During these comprehensive check-ups, our skilled team will evaluate your teeth, gums, and overall oral environment. We look for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health concerns. These exams are an essential part of your preventive care, allowing us to catch issues early and develop personalized treatment plans.
Prophylaxis (Dental Cleaning)
Prophylaxis, or professional dental cleaning, is a key preventive service that removes plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth. Our dental hygienists utilize state-of-the-art techniques to ensure your teeth are thoroughly cleaned, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease. We recommend routine cleanings every six months as part of your oral hygiene routine.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Early detection of oral cancer significantly improves treatment outcomes. At OmDent, we offer thorough oral cancer screenings during your regular visits. Our team is trained to identify any potentially harmful lesions or abnormalities in your mouth, ensuring you receive prompt evaluation and care.
Sealants
Dental sealants are a proactive defense against cavities. These thin, protective coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth, where decay is most likely to occur. Sealants act as a barrier, protecting enamel from plaque and acids, making them an effective preventive measure, particularly for children and at-risk adults.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride treatments are an essential aspect of preventive care, especially for those prone to cavities. Our team applies a concentrated fluoride varnish, which helps to strengthen your teeth and make them more resistant to decay. Regular fluoride treatments can be particularly beneficial for children, teens, and adults with a history of dental issues.
Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatments
For patients with gum disease, we provide non-surgical periodontal treatments to restore gum health. Our approaches focus on deep cleaning, scaling, and root planing to eliminate bacteria and reduce inflammation. These treatments are designed to halt the progression of gum disease and promote healing, allowing you to maintain optimal oral health.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool that allows us to visualize your dental health comprehensively. This technology not only reduces radiation exposure but also provides immediate results for quicker diagnosis and treatment planning. Digital X-rays help us detect issues such as cavities, bone loss, and other concerns that may not be visible during a standard examination.
Wellness iTero Scanning
Utilizing the latest in dental technology, we offer iTero scanning for comprehensive assessments of your oral health. This digital impression system allows for accurate and detailed images of your teeth and gums. The iTero scan can help in diagnosing existing conditions, planning treatments, and even tracking changes in your dental health over time.
At OmDent, we are committed to fostering your oral health through comprehensive prevention and diagnosis services.
By prioritizing preventive care, we can help you maintain a beautiful smile and avoid more complex dental issues in the future. Schedule your appointment today and take the first step towards a healthier smile!
