Preventive Care Services
When you come to our practice, we want to get a snapshot of your current
dental health. Your first check-up begins with a thorough examination
where we inspect your teeth, tongue, jaw, and the soft tissue in your
mouth.
We will not only check for decay, but also for gum disease, oral cancer, and TMJ disorders.
We will continue to track your dental health over subsequent visits.
After our examination, our hygienist can perform a
dental prophylaxis. From that
point,

Gum Disease
Over the years, Dr. Sciantarelli has seen a lot in dentistry, but nothing concerns him more than patients who have gum disease. Most people don’t think they’re susceptible to this disease, but nearly 80% of the population has this condition. Worse, recent research suggests there may be a link between gum disease and other health concerns such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, bacterial pneumonia and increased risk during pregnancy. Researchers are trying to determine if bacteria and inflammation associated with periodontal disease play a role in affecting these systemic diseases and conditions. This is why Dr. Sciantarelli checks for gum disease in every examination. If you do have gum disease, he offers the following services to treat you:
Cosmetic Services
Just because you were born with crooked teeth doesn’t mean you have
to live with them. Few people realize that cosmetic dentistry can give
them a beautiful, healthy smile. To straighten teeth, Dr. Sciantarelli
may suggest simple orthodontics, porcelain veneers or crowns.
Many patients love the idea of straight teeth without braces. It takes just 2-3 visits and the results are dramatic! After our
patients go through our treatment and see their new smile for the first
time, they’re amazed. If you are interested in improving your smile,
ask us about the following cosmetic services:
