Professional Teeth Cleanings (Prophylaxis)
For dental cleanings, Dr. Vuong and his team use the latest dental tools to provide speedy, comfortable care, banishing plaque along the way. After a gentle cleaning is performed, they will polish the teeth to help remove stains and discoloration. We may also offer an additional fluoride treatment to help further strengthen the teeth.
Ultrasonic Cleanings
The ultrasonic tools used by Smile Avenue Family Dentistry can help gently yet thoroughly clean between the teeth and gum lines. Special dental instruments are used to thoroughly clean teeth, especially where gum disease is involved. Ultrasonic cleanings are incredibly effective in removing the hard substance (known as tartar or calculus) that builds up on the teeth above and below the gum line. Where the gums would typically be attached to the teeth, this substance pushes them away, causing pockets to form where food gets trapped, and bacteria collect to cause further injury to the gums.
Night Guards For TMJ Pain
If you grind your teeth while you sleep, the constant pressure can cause your teeth to wear down quickly. Dr. Vuong offers custom-made night guards to keep you protected while you sleep. These guards can help prevent headaches and TMJ. If your bite is causing headaches, Dr. Vuong also offers advanced treatments and orthotics that can correct bite function problems that result in pain and discomfort.
Mouth Guards For Athletics
If you are involved in any type of sport, you must protect your smile! One of your best pieces of insurance is a simple athletic mouthguard. Our mouth guards are custom-fitted to each patient, providing superior teeth protection and even further protection against concussions.
Desensitizing Treatments For Sensitive Teeth
If you are sensitive to hot and cold and avoid certain foods or drinks, our team has a solution for you! After ruling out anything serious, our team will provide a desensitizing solution designed to take away sensitivity for months.
