Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Routine dental wellness assessments and cleanings offer your smile the care and protection it needs to remain healthy year-round. Your mouth contains healthy and bad bacteria. It’s important to manage it (think about the idea of a healthy gut and probiotics). Bad bacteria contribute in part to the diseases noted during assessment. Managing these bad bacteria and its infected biofilm is crucial to sustainable health. During your dental health appointments, we’ll not only assess the bacteria and remove the infected biofilm, but we’ll also carefully examine your teeth and bite to identify any early symptoms of overall health issues that go beyond your mouth.
Oral Cancer Screenings
At Elevate Dentistry, we rely on advanced technologies to identify problems in their earliest stages, including oral cancer. Claiming the life of one person every hour in the United States, we believe it’s imperative to catch any symptoms as soon as possible. With the help of Velscope and Oral DNA testing, we can determine if further treatment is required, all while giving you greater peace of mind.
Children’s Dentistry
At Elevate Dentistry, Dr. David welcomes children and teenagers and offers age-appropriate treatment options designed to protect growing smiles, encourage proper oral development, and preserve total health. It is critical that assessments begin by 3 years old so we can ensure proper nutrition, jaw development, tooth and tongue positioning, and breathing patterns are being monitored closely. When Dr. David sees that this is not the case, he often sees disease processes being early, including: cavities, poor breathing and sleep, and increased behavior issues often leads to an ADHD diagnosis. Whether it is dental exams and cleanings, custom athletic mouthguards, dental sealants, or laser frenectomies to release a lip or tongue-tie, we will provide what your child needs so they stay confident and healthy at each milestone.
