Dental Checkups & Cleanings
If your goal is to enjoy life with a healthy set of teeth that work well, look beautiful, and remain strong, keep your six-month dental checkups and cleanings. This type of preventive care is considered the cornerstone of good dental health, providing early detection of cavities, gum disease, and other similar issues. By taking a proactive approach, our dentists can help you remain confident in your pursuit of long-term overall health.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease treatment is necessary to keep soft oral tissues healthy and free of harmful oral bacteria so that you can embrace a properly protected and beautiful smile. Our dentists, Dr. Daniel Eley and Dr. Joel Eley, will use scaling and root planing as well as antibiotics to target pockets of bacteria, effectively removing them so that gums will reattach to teeth and continue to shield tooth roots from exposure. By addressing the infection, your smile will appear healthier and more visibly appealing over time.
TMJ Diagnosis & Treatment
Treating chronic jaw pain with a customized occlusal splint can give you something to look forward to when waking up each day. Instead of dealing with aching jaw joints and worn-down tooth enamel, the device can safeguard your pearly whites and alleviate pain by encouraging proper jaw placement. Over time, you will notice a dramatic difference in how you use your mouth to speak, sleep, eat, and even smile.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
With the right form of sleep apnea treatment, your days can be more productive thanks to your ability to breathe freely and achieve adequate rest. At Eley Family Dentistry, we use customized oral appliances to prevent airway obstruction. By moving the jaw slightly forward, the device keeps oral tissues from falling and blocking airflow. This life-changing solution not only allows for uninterrupted sleep but also leads to a better quality of life.
