Quality preventive dentistry forms the essential foundation for a healthy and beautiful smile, focusing on practices and treatments aimed at maintaining excellent oral health and stopping dental problems before they even begin. By maintaining your regularly scheduled preventive care appointments, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of needing more complex and costly treatments in the future.
At Olympia Advanced Dentistry, our preventive dentistry philosophy revolves around a strong partnership between you and our dedicated dental team. By embracing preventive dentistry, you are making a valuable investment in the long-term health and beauty of your smile, and we are here to provide the knowledge, tools, and care you need every step of the way, emphasizing that regular visits and consistent home care are key to a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Dental Exams
Regular dental exams are a cornerstone of maintaining a healthy smile, and at our office, we make them thorough and comfortable. During your exam, our dental professionals will carefully evaluate your teeth, gums, and overall oral health, checking for signs of decay, gum disease, and other potential issues. We may also take the necessary digital X-rays to see what's happening beneath the surface. This comprehensive assessment allows us to catch problems early, discuss any findings with you, and create a personalized plan to keep your smile healthy and bright for years to come.
Professional Cleanings
While brushing and flossing at home are important, our professional dental cleanings offer a deeper level of care. At Olympia Advanced Dentistry, our skilled hygienists carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from all tooth surfaces, including those difficult to clean on your own. This crucial step helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath, leaving you with a fresh, smooth feeling. For a truly healthy and vibrant smile, make regular professional cleanings a part of your routine alongside your home care.
Fluoride/Varnish Treatment
Give your teeth an extra shield against cavities with a fluoride varnish treatment at Olympia Advanced Dentistry. We often suggest this easy and painless application to make your tooth enamel stronger. By gently brushing on a thin layer of fluoride, we help your teeth become more resistant to the acids produced by plaque and sugars. This added protection works with your daily brushing and flossing to keep your smile healthy and strong, and it's particularly helpful for kids and those who get cavities easily.
Athletic Mouth Guards
Protect your smile while you play sports with a custom athletic mouth guard from Olympia Advanced Dentistry. These comfortable, custom-fitted guards are designed to cushion blows to the face and jaw, helping to prevent serious injuries to your teeth, lips, cheeks, and jaw. Unlike generic, over-the-counter mouth guards, our custom-made guards offer superior protection and a secure fit, allowing you to breathe and speak more easily while you play. Investing in a custom athletic mouth guard is a smart way to safeguard your oral health and stay focused on your game.
Mouth Guards for Bruxism
Protect your teeth and alleviate the discomfort of teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism) with a custom night guard from our practice. This comfortable appliance, worn while you sleep, creates a protective space between your teeth, preventing enamel wear, jaw pain, and headaches. Individually designed to fit your bite, our night guards offer a non-surgical approach to managing bruxism and ensuring the long-term health of your smile and jaw.
