Why Should I Get Preventative Dentistry?
Investing in preventative dentistry is one of the smartest decisions you can make for your oral health. By regularly visiting your dentist for cleanings and check-ups, you can prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues that could lead to more extensive treatments down the road. Preventative care not only helps maintain a bright, healthy smile but also contributes to your overall well-being. Oral health is closely linked to systemic health, and conditions such as heart disease and diabetes have been connected to poor oral hygiene. By choosing preventative dentistry, you're taking proactive steps to protect both your smile and your general health.

BENEFITS OF INVISALIGN
Invisalign doesn’t disrupt your smile because the clear aligners are unnoticeable and blend in with your teeth. Even when patients need to get Invisalign attachments bonded to their teeth, these are made of tooth-colored resin that blends in with the teeth and is covered with the aligners.
Invisalign is much more hygienic than braces because you’re able to remove them to thoroughly brush and floss. This also prevents food particles and stains from being trapped in your aligners, since you take them out before eating and can easily clean the surfaces of your aligners.
When patients wear braces, they need to avoid many of their favorite foods that are hard, sticky, or crunchy because they can break or get stuck in their braces. You can enjoy a restriction-free diet with Invisalign. The pressure exerted on your teeth is also greatly minimized thanks to our Smart Track aligners which place gentle pressure on your teeth.
Invisalign is also associated with fewer appointments and faster treatment times.
The Benefits Of Preventative Dentistry
Early Detection of Dental Issues
Regular dental visits allow for the early detection of potential problems. This means issues can be addressed before they become more serious, resulting in less invasive treatments and better outcomes.
Improved Oral Hygiene
Preventative dentistry promotes excellent oral hygiene practices. Routine cleanings remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing might miss, ensuring your teeth and gums remain healthy.
Cost-Effective Care
By preventing dental issues before they arise, you can avoid costly treatments in the future. Preventative care is an investment in your oral health that pays off by reducing the need for more extensive procedures.

The Preventative Dentistry Treatment Process
Comprehensive Oral Examination
The first step in preventative dentistry is a comprehensive oral examination. Dr. Moetaz Homsi will thoroughly assess your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. This evaluation includes checking for signs of decay, gum disease, and other potential issues. X-rays may be taken to provide a complete picture of your dental health, ensuring that any hidden problems are identified and addressed promptly.
Professional Dental Cleaning
Following the examination, a professional dental cleaning is performed. Our skilled hygienists will meticulously clean your teeth, removing any plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing might miss. This process not only helps prevent cavities and gum disease but also leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean. The cleaning is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that every nook and cranny is attended to.
Personalized Oral Health Advice
After your cleaning, you'll receive personalized oral health advice. Dr. Homsi and his team will discuss your oral hygiene routine and provide tips and recommendations tailored to your specific needs. Whether it's advice on brushing techniques, the best type of dental products to use, or dietary suggestions to support oral health, you’ll leave with a clear plan to maintain your smile between visits. This personalized guidance empowers you to take control of your oral health and prevent future issues.
