• Composite Fillings: Take charge of your oral health by choosing composite fillings; these durable restorations effectively seal damaged areas, preventing future infections.
• Implant-Supported Dentures: Take a proactive step towards better oral health and overall well-being by exploring implant-supported dentures; they provide a stable base for your dentures, preventing further jawbone loss and improving your quality of life.
• Nitrous Oxide Sedation: Nitrous oxide sedation helps make dental visits more comfortable, allowing for thorough checkups and early detection of potential problems like cavities or gum disease.
• Full Mouth Reconstruction: A full mouth reconstruction helps identify and address underlying oral health issues, such as decay, gum disease, and bite problems, improving your overall well-being.
• Implant-Supported Bridge: To prevent jawbone deterioration and maintain a healthy bite, consider an implant-supported bridge as a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth.
• Partial Dentures: By opting for partial dentures, you're taking a step towards preventing the shifting of remaining teeth and maintaining your natural bite alignment.
• Endodontic Treatment: Protecting your smile starts with addressing infections deep within your teeth: endodontic treatment helps prevent the spread of infection, saving your natural tooth and avoiding more extensive procedures.
• Replacing All Teeth: Consider replacing missing teeth to improve your overall oral health, reducing the risk of jawbone deterioration and shifting teeth.
• Implant-Supported Crown: For a complete and healthy smile, an implant-supported crown offers a durable and natural-looking solution to missing teeth, enhancing chewing function and preserving your jawbone's structure.

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

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

For most people, a visit to Dr. Kasey DDS and our dental hygienists every six months is recommended. This allows us to remove tartar buildup that brushing can't, detect 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 has been linked to other health problems.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Oral health is intricately linked to overall health. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is crucial for maintaining optimal body health.

What are dental sealants, and who should get them?

Dental sealants are a thin, protective plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. They are a powerful preventive tool, particularly for children and teenagers, sealing out food and plaque to help prevent cavities from forming in the deep grooves of the teeth.

Are dental X-rays safe, and why do I need them?

Yes, modern digital dental X-rays are very safe, using extremely low levels of radiation. They allow Dr. Kasey DDS to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible otherwise, enabling early intervention and better treatment outcomes.

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.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. Kasey DDS can assess your oral health to determine if you are a good candidate for professional whitening treatments, like custom trays or in-office procedures, which offer better and safer results than over-the-counter products.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

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