Check - Ups and Cleanings

   The ADA reports that 50% of individuals over 50 years old have some form of gum disease. Therefore, it is important that we all maintain a clean and healthy mouth to prevent decay and gum disease. At Heinecke Family Dentistry, we offer periodic cleanings and check-ups to help you achieve optimal oral health. Along with these check-ups, we perform oral cancer screenings to catch early signs of soft and hard tissue problems. However, this does not replace good home care practices and we would love to help you create better habits for clean and healthy teeth!
 

X-Rays

   In order to fully examine your teeth for decay and the bony structures for potential problems, we perform periodic x-rays. Our digital sensors not only instantly display images to increase your level of comfort and efficiently manage your time with us, but also greatly reduce your x-ray exposure and increase the quality of our diagnosis. The risk for dental x-rays is already extremely low, in fact you would recieve more radiation from a walk on the beach!
 

Occlusal Stents and Mouthguards

   Have trouble with grinding your teeth and jaw pain? Need to be fitted with a dental appliance for medically diagnosed sleep apnea? Play a contact sport and desire a custom mouthguard? We offer many different occlusal stents and guards to help you with any of these and other needs.
 

Sensitivity Treatments

   We know that for many individuals, tooth sensitivity is a debilitating problem. You no longer have the ability to enjoy the foods and drinks that you were used to eating and drinking. Often this is a result of gum recession and exposed root surfaces. Other times it can be the result of exposed dentin (the inner layer of the tooth) from either decay or erosion. No matter the fundamental cause, we offer treatments tailored to the situation from fillings to desensitizing perscriptions and in-office medicaments. Do not continue to live with this pain, let us try to provide you with relief.
