Your Smile Will Stay Bright With Dental Cleanings & Exams

With regular dental cleanings and exams from Houston Uptown Dentists, we will not only keep your smile looking great, we’ll also catch problems while they’re still small and easily manageable. Before beginning your checkup, your dentist will discuss your priorities to better guide your exam and our dental treatment recommendations.

Along with a thorough cleaning, we will provide a “camera tour” of the inside of your mouth so you’ll know exactly what we’re talking about. We will also thoroughly assess your oral health using state-of-the-art dental technology, including:

  • Digital X-rays displayed on a screen for a clear picture of your oral health and for patient education
  • VELscope assessment devices for oral cancer screenings
  • DIAGNOdent cavity detection system to catch signs of tooth decay that might otherwise be missed

To improve and protect your overall health, we will also perform a sleep apnea screening, evaluate your jaw joint to determine if you could benefit from a TMJ or teeth grinding solution, and check for any signs of gum disease.

Keep Your Mouth Healthy With Our Skilled Treatment

A beautiful smile is important, but to ensure your overall oral health, we will also thoroughly examine your gums to find out if you require gum disease treatment. If you show signs of gum disease, we will relieve your discomfort and eliminate the offending bacteria using gentle dental laser therapy.

Depending on your situation, we can also use special processes called scaling and root planing to eradicate gum disease. To treat gum recession caused by gum disease, we may recommend the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique or a gum graft. Once your gum disease has been addressed, we will help you prevent it from coming back with a take-home treatment system called Perio Protect®.

To keep tooth decay and damage at bay, we can provide several services to protect your teeth, including:

  • BPA-free dental sealants
  • Fluoride treatments
  • Nutritional counseling
  • Dry mouth and bad breath treatments
  • Custom night guards

If you or your child like to stay active, we can also help prevent a potential dental emergency with a custom-made athletic mouthguard.
