Preventive Exams and Dental Cleanings
At Sandia View Family Dental, we believe in empowering our patients to take an active role in their oral health. During your preventive appointments, we'll provide you with personalized tips and recommendations on essential aspects of oral hygiene. As part of every preventive exam, we'll conduct a thorough oral cancer screening. We are committed to helping you stay healthy, and early detection is crucial for successful treatment.
These essential appointments allow us to assess your oral health, gently remove plaque and tartar, and provide personalized guidance to move forward with your best, healthiest smile.
Fluoride/Varnish Treatments
During a fluoride/varnish treatment, a thin, protective coating of fluoride varnish is painted on teeth to form a protective layer that helps to prevent cavities and strengthen enamel. Fluoride varnish treatment can also reverse minor tooth decay and help reduce tooth sensitivity. This naturally occurring mineral is safe and effective for maintaining a healthy smile.
Teeth Desensitizing Treatments
Sensitive teeth can affect the enjoyment of eating your favorite foods. To help ease discomfort related to tooth sensitivity, Dr. Chris will first identify the cause of pain and discomfort, then work to treat the root cause. Fluoride varnish treatment can assist some with sensitivity by forming a shield around the affected tooth. Dental sealants or bonding are also options that can help repair enamel damage.
Athletic Mouth Guards
Athletes' smiles are often left exposed to dental injury. Fortunately, a custom mouth guard can prevent teeth from chipping or breaking upon impact. If you or your child needs protection from injury and concussion during sports, Dr. Chris will create a comfortable, fitted athletic mouthguard that will stay firmly in place during the game.
Mouth Guards for Bruxism
Grinding or clenching teeth and jaws, known as bruxism, can damage your teeth and lead to expensive repairs for tooth damage or treatment for jaw pain. Sandia View Dental creates custom-fitted mouth guards in-house to protect you from the pain and expense of broken dental fillings and tooth fractures.
