Numerous tools are used in the fight against dental decay and tooth loss. These include regular professional cleanings from one of our hygienists, sealants, sport guards, night guards and patient/parent education.
Professional Cleanings from our Hygienists
Continued research links numerous diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and even low birth weights to gum disease. We follow the latest research to implement the best treatment regimens known to arrest the gum disease processes. During your initial examination and during your continuing care examination, we will carefully check all of your gum tissues and monitor for any changes that might occur. Based on our findings, we will continually tailor a unique plan, individualized to ensure your optimal gum health. Wilsonville Dental Group has licensed, fully trained hygienists who implement a regimen of care that will augment your personal efforts to rid your teeth and gums of plaque, tartar and bacteria that cause gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis), tooth decay and even loss of bone tissue under the gums.
Sealants and Fluoride Treatments - an Ounce of Prevention!
Tooth decay, or what we commonly call “cavities” can be a significant challenge for children and adults – and if left untreated can lead to more serious dental concerns that can be painful before they are treated, costly to correct and time consuming. Many factors contribute to tooth decay and there are numerous ways to prevent it. Wilsonville Dental Group offers sealants and fluoride treatments to help prevent tooth decay – and this all leads to a happy mouth and happy patient! Our dentists all place special emphasis on sealants, which are very effective in preventing tooth decay on the biting surfaces of chewing teeth. Sealants are a clear or tooth colored plastic coating that is applied to grooves and deep pits. The sealant fills the areas where decay most likely occurs. Sealants don’t require anesthetic or drilling. Sealants and fluoride are some of the most important preventative services we offer.
Sports Guards & Night Guards
We prioritize protecting your smile with customized sports guards and night guards. Our tailored sports guards provide athletes of all ages with vital protection during sports activities, safeguarding against dental injuries and trauma to the teeth and mouth. Designed for comfort and optimal fit, these guards offer superior protection while allowing for natural speech and breathing during play. Additionally, our night guards offer relief for patients experiencing bruxism (teeth grinding) or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, providing a cushioning barrier between the upper and lower teeth to prevent wear and tear. Tailored to fit your unique bite, these guards are crafted for nighttime wear, reducing jaw discomfort and protecting your teeth from damage due to grinding or clenching. Trust Wilsonville Dental Group to provide personalized guards that prioritize your dental health and ensure peace of mind during physical activity or while you sleep.
Patient/Parent Education
We emphasize patient and parent education as a cornerstone of our practice. We are committed to empowering our patients with comprehensive knowledge about various dental topics to make informed decisions about their oral health. Through personalized consultations and informative materials, we educate both patients and parents on essential dental care practices, preventive measures, and treatment options. Our dedicated team takes the time to explain procedures in an understandable manner, ensuring clarity and transparency throughout the dental journey. Whether it’s teaching proper brushing techniques, discussing the importance of regular check-ups, or addressing specific treatment queries, we aim to equip our patients and parents with the knowledge they need to maintain healthy smiles. Trust Wilsonville Dental Group for a patient-centered approach that prioritizes education, enabling you to make confident and informed choices for optimal dental health.
