• Tooth Loss: Early detection of gum disease and cavities through routine dental visits can significantly reduce your chances of experiencing tooth loss later in life.

Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Jason DMD offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

• Crown Lengthening: By exposing more of your natural tooth structure, crown lengthening improves the success rate of dental restorations and helps preserve your overall oral health.
• Dental Prophylaxis: Dental prophylaxis, or a professional cleaning, is a proactive step to remove plaque and tartar buildup, preventing cavities and gum disease.
• Extraction of Wisdom Tooth: This procedure helps avoid the potential need for more extensive dental work or emergency treatment down the line, especially for impacted or problematic wisdom teeth.
• Guided Tissue Regeneration: Guided tissue regeneration helps rebuild bone and gum tissue lost to gum disease, proactively protecting your teeth and overall oral health.
• Implant-Supported Bridge: By opting for an implant-supported bridge, you're proactively preventing the shifting of remaining teeth and the potential for bite problems that come with missing teeth.
• Implant-Supported Crown: As part of your proactive approach to dental wellness, an implant-supported crown helps restore your natural smile, supporting your jaw's health and preventing issues with adjacent teeth.
• Osseous Surgery: Osseous surgery is a proactive measure to address severe bone loss associated with gum disease, improving the chances of successful dental implant placement and overall oral health.
• Scaling and Root Planing: Protect your smile and your systemic health with scaling and root planing, a treatment that removes bacteria and reduces your risk of gum disease and related health issues.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Preventive Dental care with Dr. Jason DMD:

How often should I visit the dentist for a check-up and cleaning?

For most people, a visit to Dr. Jason DMD and our dental hygienists every six months is recommended. This allows us to remove tartar buildup that brushing can't, catch cavities early, and screen for gum disease and oral cancer.

Why are routine dental cleanings so important for prevention?

Even with excellent brushing and flossing, plaque hardens into tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove. This is crucial for preventing cavities and, more importantly, gum disease, which is linked to other health problems such as heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Oral health is intrinsically linked to overall health. Chronic gum inflammation, or periodontitis, is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care, including regular checkups and cleanings, is essential for maintaining optimal oral and systemic health.

What are veneers and how are they different from crowns?

Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth to improve their appearance. Crowns, on the other hand, are caps that cover the entire tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength after significant damage or decay.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can be caused by worn enamel, receding gums exposing tooth roots, or tiny cracks in the teeth. A proper diagnosis by Dr. Jason DMD is needed to determine the specific cause and recommend effective treatments, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Jason DMD can help some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. We can create a custom-fitted oral appliance worn at night to keep the airway open, offering a comfortable and effective alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

Yes, an oral cancer screening is a routine and important part of every dental check-up. Dr. Jason DMD will visually inspect your lips, tongue, gums, and entire mouth for any abnormalities; early detection is key to successful treatment.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are the modern gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They are titanium posts that act like artificial tooth roots, which are then topped with a natural-looking crown. This helps prevent bone loss and preserves the health of adjacent teeth.
