The Power of Proactive Preventive Dental Care

At Lucas Elite Dental Studio, we believe that preventive dental care is the cornerstone of maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile. Investing in preventive dental care reduces the risk of dental disease and minimizes the need for complex and costly treatments in the future. Our dedicated dentist and patient-centered team offer comprehensive, cutting-edge preventive services designed to safeguard your oral health for years to come.

Your Twice-Yearly Preventive Visits

Keeping up with your routine, twice-yearly dental visits is one of the best ways to lower the risk of dental disease, allowing you to maintain long-term healthy and beautiful smiles. The following is a look at what you can expect: 

Digital Dental X-Rays: During your visit, we will capture high-resolution images using cutting-edge digital X-ray technology to identify early signs of problems, such as tooth decay, fractures, bone loss, abscesses, and impacted teeth. We integrate advanced AI technology to improve diagnostic accuracy, ensuring prompt and precise treatment planning.

Comprehensive Exam: Our experienced dentist will conduct a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, existing dental restorations, and alignment of your bite. Regular exams help detect early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and infections, allowing for timely interventions before problems progress. We also conduct quick and painless oral cancer screenings to identify any abnormalities early on, which helps dramatically improve your treatment outcomes. We will share our findings with you and create a customized treatment plan outlining the restorative treatments needed to address your immediate needs and preventive care to help keep dental disease at bay.
Professional Dental Cleaning: Routine cleanings by our skilled hygienists effectively remove plaque and tartar buildup, significantly reducing your risk of tooth decay, gum disease, bad breath, and tooth loss. If you show signs of gum disease, our team may recommend a deep cleaning procedure known as scaling and root planing to promote healing and maintain your gum health.

Additional Preventive Services Offered by Lucas Elite Dental Studio

The following are some of our cutting-edge preventive services we offer: 

• Curodont Enamel Regeneration: Curodont is an innovative, five-minute enamel regeneration treatment that repairs early-stage cavities naturally without drilling, staining, or discomfort. A proprietary peptide and natural minerals in the saliva help rebuild the tooth enamel, stopping cavities from progressing.
• Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF): SDF is a minimally invasive alternative solution that arrests the progression of cavities without the need for anesthetic shots or drilling. Silver Diamine Fluoride works by remineralizing tooth enamel and eliminating cavity-causing bacteria, preventing future decay, and reducing tooth sensitivity.
• Dental Sealants: Dental sealants protect molars and premolars by smoothing out grooves and crevices where harmful bacteria typically accumulate, lowering the risk of cavities. They are commonly applied to children’s permanent molars as they emerge, but can also benefit teens and adults prone to cavities.

Preventive Resin Restorations (PRR): Preventive Resin Restorations offer a conservative yet effective solution for protecting teeth that are prone to developing decay. Similar to sealants, PRRs involve removing early signs of decay and filling the area with a resin material before sealing the space, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
