Proactive

Comprehensive Exams

Knowing what is happening in your mouth is a big part of keeping your teeth healthy and strong. So much happens in your mouth that you can’t feel or see until it is very advanced – and that’s when it gets painful and expensive. Regular comprehensive exams and checkups from Midtown Dental allow us to find problems early when treatment is much simpler and faster.

Every Visit

Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer isn’t a cancer many of us think of as potentially fatal – but it is. The truth is, about 3% of cancers in men and 2% of cancers in women are oral cancers, and, according to the American Cancer Society, one of the few cancers for which the death rate is increasing. This may be due to the fact that the cancer can grow and evolve without many symptoms or discomfort. That’s why we always perform oral cancer screenings at every visit. If you haven’t been to see your dentist for a oral health screening recently, please give us a call today. It could save your life!

Safe and Fast

Digital X-Rays

Your health and safety is our primary concern. That’s why we use digital x-rays for our patients. Not only does it expose you to far less radiation than traditional radiographs, digital x-rays are more accurate and can immediately be saved on our computers for quick and easy review and diagnosis.

Reversing Gum Disease

Perio Therapy

If we discover that you are suffering from gum disease, periodontal therapy can work wonders to reverse and even completely heal your gum infection. This is very important – gum disease not only compromises your teeth leading to tooth loss, it also compromises your whole body health and has been shown to contribute to such dangerous issues as heart attacks, strokes, inflammatory problems, certain cancers, and much more. If you want to protect your health, talk to us about periodontal care today.

Intraoral Cameras

Everyone loves our hygienists! No matter how thorough your cleanings have been in the past, you will marvel at the level of clean we achieve. More importantly, keeping up with your regular hygiene, keeps your teeth and gums free of harmful bacterial buildup – the main cause of gum disease.

Strengthen your teeth

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride treatments aren’t just for kids anymore! While we do recommend an application of Fluoride for children at every visit, we may recommend that adults receive periodic applications as well. Fluoride helps remineralize and strengthen your teeth and can help prevent such things as sensitivity and root decay in adults.

Protect your smile

Mouthguards

Protect your smile…and your investment! Active families benefit from our custom-made sports mouthguards for any activity from soccer to skateboarding and everything in between. Boil-and-bite mouthguards are simply not as comfortable or effective and have not been shown to aid in the prevention of concussions the way ours do. For nighttime protection, our nightguards prevent the damage caused by clenching or grinding to save both your natural teeth and your restorations.
