We have a fantastic hygiene team that will get your smile sparkling. Although we are here for all your dental needs, the preventative measures that we take is one of our top priorities. Coming in every four to six months for your cleanings and exams is our best defense to prevent future issues.
Enjoy a Bright Smile With Regular Dental Exams & Cleanings
You’ll love your dental cleanings and exams at Bridgetown Dental. We use some of the latest dental technology to ensure your treatment is comfortable and precise, including a cone beam CT scanner, digital X-rays, and panoramic X-rays. This technology helps us catch and diagnose oral problems while they’re still small and manageable.
To ensure your safety and comfort, our office features air filtration in every room. This gives you peace of mind about the air you’re breathing in. We also treat all water in the office with ozone gas twice per day. This purification process ensures that the water we use on patients is completely sterile and safe.
We can apply a topical or local anesthetic to numb your mouth while we work. This will help make your time with us more pleasant. Sedation is also available in the form of laughing gas or a small pill if you need extra help relaxing.
If you’re a new patient coming in for your first cleaning and exam, we’ll take a full set of X-rays and perform a complete dental exam to look for any problem areas. If we spot any concerns, we will make a diagnosis and walk you through treatment options. Common issues include:
- Cavities, which we can treat with a composite tooth filling
- A narrowed airway, for which we may diagnose a take-home sleep test that will be interpreted by a physician
- Worn teeth, which may signal you need a mouthguard to prevent teeth grinding
