Preventative and Periodontal Dentistry

Our dental hygienists provide preventive cleanings and care so that you can maintain and improve your oral health. Whether it means scheduling a scaling every six months or every three, we’ll carefully assess your teeth and give you the information you need to take the best possible care of them.
