Professional teeth cleaning services
Teeth Cleaning and Guided biofilm therapy
Tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient, our check-ups begin with a meticulous dental cleaning, utilizing the latest in dental hygiene technology, including AIR-FLOW® air polishing. Through Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), which is an advanced method, we not only gently eradicate surface stains and plaque but also meticulously remove tartar buildup, ensuring your teeth and gums are in optimal health. Beyond the clean, we focus on education, demonstrating effective brushing and flossing techniques and recommending the best oral care products to enhance your home routine.
Xrays
We examine your teeth and gums for any signs of disease or decay, utilizing advanced diagnostics like digital x-rays for thorough assessments. Additionally, we offer salivary testing to tailor your preventative care further, focusing on preventing dental issues before they arise.
Oral exam and cancer screening
The importance of regular oral cancer screenings cannot be overstated. With the increasing prevalence of oral cancer, early detection is vital for successful treatment. Our screenings are non-invasive and quick, but they have the potential to save lives by identifying cancerous and precancerous conditions early, when they are most treatable. We believe in a holistic approach to your oral health, which is why every check-up includes a thorough oral exam and a meticulous screening for oral cancer.
The backbone of preventive care
Sealants
Dental sealants are effective, protective coatings applied mainly to the back teeth to prevent cavities. The application is quick, painless, and offers long-lasting protection against decay, requiring only regular check-ups for maintenance. This simple procedure involves cleaning the tooth, applying a special gel, and then the sealant, which bonds to the tooth enamel with a curing light, all in a single visit to our Littleton office!
Oral DNA
This fast, non-invasive, and straightforward saliva test is designed to isolate the specific types of bacteria in the mouth and the number of bacteria present. By using OralDNA labs saliva testing, dental professionals like Drs. Oltean can accurately assess the harmful bacterial balance of the mouth and personalize recommendations based on these findings. They get an overview of the state and condition of your mouth through the lens of bacteria frequently implicated in gum disease and other oral disorders such as cavities.
Periodontal Therapy
We understand the critical role gums play in your overall oral health. That’s why we focus on proactive care to prevent periodontal disease, a leading cause of tooth loss, especially among adults over 30 and those with specific risk factors. Our expert team performs annual screenings and various tests, adjusting your oral hygiene routine as needed to keep your gums healthy. If gum disease does occur, we’re ready with non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing (SRP) to remove bacteria, plaque, and tartar from both the teeth and gum line and underneath the gum line, followed by personalized periodontal maintenance. Periodontal cleanings differ from “regular cleanings” in that they are focused on arresting the disease process, and maintaining your gum health by cleaning above and below the gumline to remove bacterial biofilms, plaque, tartar and stain on a more frequent basis.
With vital information in hand early into the disease process or even before its onset, we know how to attack the specific bacterial species that present risks to your oral health. After all, the therapies that are effective at eradicating one type of bacteria may not work for another. When we can proactively, quickly, and effectively address threats to your oral health with personalized diagnostics and medicine, we can also support optimal systemic health and well-being. Some of the species mentioned above have been linked to serious systemic conditions, ranging from cardiovascular disease to poor diabetes control. We look forward to protecting your health with our unique blend of relational care and leading-edge testing.
