Keeping Your Smile Safe
When it comes to the oral health of you and your family, having dental problems treated right away is very important – but wouldn’t it be even better if we could help you stop those problems from happening in the first place? At Godley Station Dental, our team’s dedication to preventive care can make that goal a reality for patients of all ages. The doctors and hygienists at GSD provide in-depth check-ups, refreshing hygiene, and other services designed to protect natural teeth and help them last for years to come.
We recommend that patients of all ages attend at least two wellness exams and cleanings a year. Even those who brush and floss diligently fall victim to dental problems that linger under the surface and out of sight – these visits allow our team to provide professional maintenance and locate even the smallest concerns before they have a chance to cause significant damage.
What we provide
Wellness Exam
Our doctors will perform a thorough dental wellness exam to examine for any decay, gum disease, debris, problem areas, or potential problem areas. We recommend an exam every 6 months to identify and prevent oral health issues.
Comprehensive Cleaning
Our hygienists will perform a comprehensive cleaning which removes potentially dangerous plaque and build up from your teeth and gums. They will use a variety of instruments to remove all plaque and buildup above and below your gum line. They will also discuss your home care routine as well. If you suffer from sensitivity - fluoride treatments are highly recommended.
iTero Scan
After completion of the wellness exam and comprehensive cleaning our hygienists will do a detailed iTero scan of your full mouth which will allow for you to see your mouth in a whole new 3d way and make treatment planning, discussions, and decisions that much easier.
Fluoride Treatment
The ADA (American Dental Association) recommends that all patients receive regular fluoride treatments, as such this has become a standard of care here at GSD. Fluoride is a natural mineral that builds strong teeth and prevents cavities. It supports healthy tooth enamel and fights the bacteria that harm teeth and gums.
Oral cancer Screening
An Oral cancer screening is an examination performed by our hygienists to look for signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in your mouth. The goal of an oral cancer screening is to identify mouth cancer early - when there is a greater chance for treatment. Our team utilizes goccles and harmless blue light technology to detect these early signs of cancer.
X-Rays
X-Rays are useful for viewing jawbones and various tooth structures. They can find and image cavities, bone or gum loss, periodontal disease, benign or malignant tumors, and other normal or abnormal structures within the lower portion of the head. In children and adolescents, they are also useful for finding un-erupted permanent teeth and imaging root structures. At Godley Station Dental we utilize digital X-ray technology for all patient X-rays as they provide a higher quality image for examination will producing 80% less radiation. Digital X-rays are also safer for the environment as no chemicals are required for their development. We also offer cone beam x-rays that produce 3D images.
Sealants
Sealants are a thin, plastic coating painted on the chewing surfaces of teeth -- usually the back teeth (the premolars and molars) that have deep grooves -- to prevent tooth decay.
Night Guards
Majority of the population clinches or grinds their teeth at night leading wear, cracks, and abfractions (notch on the front side of tooth). Night guards are a fantastic way to combat this. Each appliance is custom fitted by our team to achieve maximum comfort and wearability. Night guards are a great way to protect against bruxism as well.
