Protecting Your Oral Health
You can help avoid expensive and time-consuming dental procedures by taking good care of your smile. That means protecting your teeth and gums with daily brushing and flossing at home in addition to visiting Dr. Maggie Aleksanyan for regular checkups at our office in Littleton, CO.
We offer a variety of services at your bi-annual checkups and exams to keep your smile healthy and looking its best.
Getting a Clear Picture of Your Smile
As part of your dental exam, we’ll take a full set of x-rays to get a good look at your teeth, gums, and the other hard and soft tissues that make up your smile. Modern imaging technology allows us to get a better picture of your mouth than ever before.
Dr. Maggie will analyze the digital images and inspect your smile to determine the state of your oral health. She’s searching for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other issues that can damage your smile when left untreated.
Protection From Tooth Decay and Gum Disease
Did you know that almost half of all Americans have gum disease? Unfortunately, many of these people don’t even know they’re suffering from a serious infection. It starts out small, but gum disease can become painful and eventually lead to the loss of teeth if you don’t get the proper care.
Dr. Maggie uses special tools to check your gums for signs of gum disease. If she discovers anything, we feature a number of effective treatments to restore your gums to health.
Dr. Maggie will also look for early signs of tooth decay. If you have any cavities, we’ll restore your smile using attractive tooth-colored fillings. For our younger patients, Dr. Maggie will also make sure their teeth are growing in properly.
Get a Full Screening for Oral Cancer
Every year, almost 53,000 Americans are diagnosed with oral cancer. The earlier we detect this dangerous disease, the easier it is to treat. That’s why we provide a complete screening for oral cancer as part of your regular checkup.
The process only takes a few minutes, and it will enhance your peace-of-mind. If we notice anything out of the ordinary during your screening, we’ll refer you to a specialist so you can get the appropriate care.
Professional Cleaning for a Fresh Smile
As part of your checkup, we’ll professionally clean and polish your teeth. This will give you a sparkling smile that really feels fresh. The polish we apply to your teeth helps protect them from the bacteria that cause decay. It will also leave your smile shining bright.
When we work with your kids, we’ll encourage effective habits for maintaining a healthy smile. Dr. Maggie also offers fluoride treatments and sealants that provide extra protection against cavities.
