Routine Cleanings & Exams

Regular dental cleanings and exams are the cornerstone of preventive care. These appointments involve removing plaque buildup, detecting early signs of dental issues, and helping patients maintain optimal oral health. Professional cleanings complement at-home care and ensure a healthy, sparkling smile!

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are thin protective coatings that are applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. They create a barrier against bacteria and food particles, reducing the risk of cavities in these vulnerable areas, especially for children prone to tooth decay.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride treatments offer a crucial shield against tooth decay. Applied as a gel, foam, or varnish, fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, making teeth more resistant to harmful bacteria. Regular treatments during dental visits help contribute to strong and healthy teeth.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer screenings are quick yet essential assessments to detect early signs of oral cancer. Our team examines the patient’s mouth, tongue, and throat for abnormal growths, sores, and discoloration. Oral cancer is highly treatable when diagnosed and treated promptly, so timely detection improves treatment outcomes and overall prognosis.

Athletic Mouthguards

Athletic mouthguards offer vital protection during athletic activities. Custom-fitted to your teeth, the durable mouthguard absorbs impacts and prevents dental injuries from occurring. If you or your child regularly participate in contact sports, a well-fitted mouthguard is an excellent investment for your smile.

Nightguards for Bruxism

Nightguards are protective appliances for patients who grind or clench their teeth, a condition that is commonly known as bruxism. These guards create a cushioning barrier between upper and lower teeth, preventing the irreversible damage that can be caused by unconscious grinding during sleep.

I have been seeing Dr. Miranda for a decade and he is by far the best dentist I’ve seen in the last 50 years. He is skilled and knowledgeable, plus being excellent when presenting me with information and options.
