Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential if you want to avoid dental decay, gum disease, and even oral cancer. Our team will take dental X-rays (if necessary) before conducting a thorough examination of your smile. We’ll then remove any harmful bacteria, plaque, and tartar from your teeth, leaving you with a spotless smile that looks and feels great.
Fluoride Treatment
Although commonly recommended for children, fluoride treatment is equally effective for adults, especially those who are prone to cavities. This mineral is known as “nature’s cavity fighter” because of how it combats tooth decay and helps strengthen enamel so that harmful particles do not penetrate between appointments. When applied during a regular exam, it takes only minutes and is completely painless, making it a conservative and comfortable form of treatment.
Nightguards for Bruxism
If you want to avoid the potential for worn-down tooth enamel and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder, you’ll want to talk to our team about a custom-made nightguard. Designed to treat bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching), the device keeps the upper and lower rows of teeth apart throughout the night so that additional pressure is not placed on jaw joints, and tooth enamel does not continue to suffer the effects of grinding.
TMJ Treatment
TMJ disorder can be a painful and debilitating condition that’s tricky to identify. Thankfully, Dr. Laska offers in-depth diagnostic assistance and multiple possible treatment options depending on the patient’s unique needs, including adjusting the bite to rest more comfortably with the help of restorations and/or wearing a custom occlusal splint to prevent damage to the jaw joints.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Are you struggling with fatigue or chronic snoring? Have you already been diagnosed with sleep apnea but dislike having to use a CPAP machine that’s bulky and uncomfortable each night? Dr. Laska can help you explore alternative options for treatment! What many people don’t know is that an experienced dentist can help create a customized oral appliance that helps gently reposition the teeth and tongue during sleep, allowing for healthier breathing and reduced apnea symptoms.
