At Lighthouse Dental, we think prevention is the KEY to good dental health. We utilize a variety of dental services to keep your teeth clean, gums healthy, and avoid tooth loss

By routinely seeing your dentist for exams and cleanings, you can expect to:

Prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath
Save money by avoiding costly and extensive dental procedures
Keep your teeth white by reducing staining from food and drinks
Have a beautiful smile that will last a lifetime!

Exams and X-Rays

During your exam, your dentist will throughly examine your teeth and gums for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other health problems

Your dentist may want to take X-Rays every 6 months to see what is happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums.

The images will help your dentist discover dental issues not visible to the naked eye

Professional Routine Cleanings

Your dental hygienist will clean and explore the surface of your teeth to determine if you have any cavities and examine the quality of your existing fillings

Deep Cleaning

Your hygienist will numb your gums around the teeth that need treatment and will clean the teeth below the gums with a variety of tools to remove any hard mineral buildup (tartar) at the greatest pocket depths

Fluoride Treatments

Our fluoride treatments are done to boost your tooth enamel strength and help prevent any further cavities

Our dentist provides a fluoride treatment when a cavity is detected early on to ensure it doesn't grow above and beyond

Home Care Education

After your appointment your dentist will give over your specific home care education to encourage good dental care to keep your teeth and gums healthy
