Preventive Care

Healthy teeth and gums are the foundation of oral health. A periodic tooth cleaning is important for several reasons. It lets us remove the tartar and plaque that build up around your teeth, helping prevent periodontal disease. Also, when you come into our office on a regular basis, we can monitor the health of your teeth and gums and look for any signs of changes or problems.

We offer a variety of dental services to give you, and help you maintain, a beautiful healthy smile. Call or email us if you have any questions.

Checkups & Cleanings

With gentle care, minimally invasive procedures, and advanced technology, we can restore and enhance the natural beauty of your smile, and it all starts with checkups and cleanings. Dr. Cindy Wolt performs thorough examinations on every patient to identify problem areas and prevent them from becoming more serious issues. And if going to the dentist isn’t your favorite activity, let us know, and we will do our best to minimize your stress and keep you as comfortable as possible during your exam.

Periodontal Therapy

Our team will perform a thorough periodontal assessment at every dental exam to check for the signs of periodontal or gum disease. The earliest stage of gum disease is called gingivitis, often marked by a redness and soreness of the gums. If untreated, gum disease can progress and ultimately lead to heart disease or stroke. Regular checkups and treatment at Elements Dental are your best defense against gum disease.

Sports Mouthguards

If you or your child regularly participate in sports, make sure everyone’s teeth are protected with a mouthguard because dental injuries are actually one of the most common sports injuries! We can provide you with your own custom-made mouthguard that will be specially-designed to fit your teeth, making it much more comfortable and better at defending your smile compared to anything you can buy at the store.

Nightguards for Bruxism

Do you frequently wake up with a sore jaw, or do your teeth look like they’ve been worn down? If so, you may be suffering from bruxism, a condition where a person unconsciously clenches their jaw and grinds their teeth while they sleep. Over time, this can cause the teeth to weaken, break, and it can even strain the jaw! With a nightguard, fortunately, we can keep all of this from happening. It is a small, custom-made mouthpiece that you’ll only wear to bed, and it will provide a protective barrier between your teeth to keep them safe during the night.

Emergency Dentistry

Should you or a loved one experience a dental emergency, whether due to an accident or a severe dental infection, you can always turn to our practice for immediate help. Just give us a call, and we’ll do everything we can to see you as quickly as possible and relieve your pain.
