Comprehensive Medical History Assessment
The importance of transparency regarding your health is crucial to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of your dental care.
Vital Vital Sign Monitoring
Prior to your cleaning, I take your blood pressure to ensure your safety and well-being throughout your visit.
Oral Cancer Screening
Every appointment includes a thorough intra oral screening using OralID® fluorescence technology to detect any abnormalities or early signs of oral cancer.
Salivary pH Analysis
Understanding your saliva’s pH is crucial for tailoring treatments that effectively protect your teeth and gums.
Head & Neck Evaluation
A detailed extraoral evaluation is also performed to assess for signs of grinding, jaw tension, lymph node changes, thyroid abnormalities
Intra Oral Photos
I take close-up photos of your teeth and gums before and after each visit. These images help track changes over time, show your oral health progress, and guide us in determining which home-care routines are effective and where improvements can be made.
Pre Procedure lip hydration
Always applied prior to treatment to hydrate and protect your lips from dryness.
Dental prophylaxis (Polishing)
Polishing first helps protect softened enamel that’s been exposed to acid from tartar buildup. Removing plaque and stains before scaling supports long-term enamel preservation.
Ultrasonic Scaling
The PIEZON® NO PAIN system improves comfort by allowing the use of warmed water and offering a smooth approach to removing hardened tartar. Its Swiss-engineered technology adapts to resistance in real time to maintain efficiency and protect natural tooth structure.
Laser-Assisted Bacterial Reduction (LBR)
Laser bacterial reduction (LBR) uses targeted light energy to significantly reduce harmful bacteria in the gum pockets. By lowering the bacterial load, it supports your body’s natural healing processes, reduces inflammation, and helps protect healthy gum tissue. The result is improved gum health and a more stable, balanced oral environment.
Targeted Topical Therapeutics
A customized topical serum is applied to your teeth, tailored to your unique needs, by providing therapeutic benefits to help you get the most out of your cleaning.
Post-Procedure Soft Tissue Care
A hydrating lip treatment with broad-spectrum SPF is applied post-care to protect against UV-induced damage, support epithelial barrier function, and relieve dryness.
