Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Dental checkups and cleanings allow us to detect problems early on and administer timely treatment. We can conduct a complete oral examination and professional teeth cleaning to remove harmful plaque and tartar while also checking for signs of decay, disease, and infection. One of our hygienists will also perform an extraoral and intraoral cancer screening to ensure there are no abnormalities that require further testing.
Fluoride Treatment
Tooth decay and cavities are less likely to form when we apply fluoride treatment during your dental checkups and cleanings. Used in toothpaste and found in tap water and various foods, it protects teeth against future decay and strengthens or remineralizes tooth enamel. It only takes a few minutes for us to apply fluoride to your teeth, and it is a safe and effective solution for children and adults alike.
Nightguards for Bruxism
This cushioned barrier between your upper and lower teeth is custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably, so that your tooth enamel, dental work, and jaw joints do not experience the effects of unconscious teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism) while you sleep. The result is less damage and better rest throughout the night.
Botox for TMJ Treatment
Using custom-made occlusal splints and/or BOTOX injections, Dr. Zirker and our team can target overworked jaw joints and muscles, alleviating pain and improving fluidity of motion that makes eating, smiling, and speaking easier and more comfortable. Instead of waking up to headaches and jaw pain, you’ll have relaxed facial muscles and lasting relief.
