Preventive care is the cornerstone of a healthy smile. At AVA Dental, our goal is to promote your best oral health by detecting and preventing oral health issues before they start. Regular preventive dental check-ups and dental cleanings help detect problems early, saving you time and discomfort in the long run.
At AVA Dental, we offer top preventive dentistry in Westfield, IN and beyond, with a comprehensive approach that includes regular dental check-ups, x-rays, cleanings, and individualized care to keep your smile healthy and bright!
Our Preventive Care Approach
At AVA Dental, our team works to help you maintain your best oral health through regular dental check-ups and professional dental cleanings. Preventive measures are key to maintaining excellent oral hygiene and keeping oral health concerns, like cavities and gum disease, at bay. For your best oral health, we recommend visiting our Westfield dental office at least twice per year for preventive visits.
Preventive Exams
Our team offers comprehensive examinations to monitor oral health and address any potential dental issues before they become serious, including everything from cavities to gum disease. Your preventive exam and dental cleaning appointment will include:
- Removing plaque and tartar for a healthy smile.
- Strengthening teeth to prevent decay.
- Protecting teeth from cavities.
- Identifying early signs of oral cancer for effective treatment.
Dental Cleanings
Dental cleanings at AVA Dental help our patients create their healthiest smiles. Attending your dental cleaning appointments allows our caring team to help you maintain your best oral hygiene habits while preventing issues like cavities and gum disease. During your cleaning appointment, our skilled dental hygienists will meticulously remove plaque and tartar – sticky substances that accumulate on teeth and harbor harmful bacteria. Plaque, if left unaddressed, can harden into tartar, which is much more difficult to remove with regular brushing and flossing. Professional cleaning not only eliminates harmful deposits from the smile, but helps our dentists to identify early signs of gum disease, tooth decay, or other oral health problems.
Beyond removing plaque and tartar, we'll also gently polish the teeth to remove surface stains and leave your smile feeling fresh and bright. Our team will provide personalized guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques, plus recommendations for maintaining optimal oral health between visits to our Westfield dental office. Regular preventive cleanings, combined with your at-home care, are essential components of keeping your smile healthy for a lifetime.
Family Dentistry and Dentist Appointments for Kids
At AVA Dental, we offer dentistry for children to ensure the entire family can keep their smiles healthy in our care! When your child or teen is due for a preventive check-up appointment or dental cleaning, they can visit the same dental team you trust with your smile.
