Diagnostics & Exams
Digital Imaging
Intraoral Scans
CBCT
With advanced digital imaging technology, we can get a full view of your oral health for superior diagnostics and treatment planning.
Cleaning & Hygiene
Keeping your teeth clean is essential to your continued oral and overall health. Our hygiene team will keep your smile gleaming with gentle, thorough techniques that will leave you feeling refreshed. This will all be applied at your dental checkup.
Fluoride Treatments
Quick, simple, and non-invasive professional fluoride treatments can help remineralize your enamel, boosting your defenses against cavities and decay.
Dental Sealants
By applying a thin layer of a special resin over your rear teeth, dental sealants form a barrier between your teeth and the bacteria and food particles they feed on to lower the risk of developing decay.
Soft-Tissue Laser Therapy
Periodontal Treatment
Cold Sore Therapy
With our soft-tissue laser, we can target specific tissues to precisely treat oral health issues like periodontal disease and cold or canker sores. Laser therapy is less invasive than traditional methods, resulting in faster, more comfortable procedures and shorter recovery times.
Periodontal Care
Patients with periodontal (gum) disease require a bit of special care. Extra cleanings that go below the gum line can help keep gum disease under control and preserve your oral health, so you can keep smiling.
Oral Cancer Screenings
While relatively rare, oral cancer can pose a serious risk to your health and even your life. During your exam, Dr. Poreddy will keep an eye out for abnormalities or discolorations. If she sees anything concerning, she may recommend taking a biopsy for further analysis.
TMJ/TMD Treatment
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause pain and difficulty in jaw movement, but Dr. Poreddy can offer treatments such as oral appliances and physical therapy to alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life.
