Preventive Care
Preventive care is the cornerstone of our conservative dental philosophy. At Jeppson Dental, we believe in the adage, “prevention is better than cure.” We design our preventive care services to avert dental problems before they start, saving you time, discomfort, and costs. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are vital to maintaining oral health and preventing tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath. We recommend that our patients visit us at least twice yearly for comprehensive exams and professional cleanings to ensure optimal oral hygiene.
Comprehensive Dental Exams
During our thorough dental exams, we meticulously assess your oral health. Our examinations include digital X-rays to detect cavities and bone loss and an oral cancer screening to identify any unusual changes in your red or white oral tissue. We also perform a detailed evaluation of your bite and jaw for any signs of misalignment or TMJ disorders. We aim to catch dental issues at the earliest stages, allowing us to treat them with the least invasive methods.
Professional Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings are essential for removing plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing cannot eliminate. Our hygienists at Jeppson Dental are highly trained to clean and polish your teeth, reducing the risk of periodontal diseases and cavities. Regular cleanings also allow our dental team to monitor your oral health closely and make any necessary recommendations for further treatment.
Restorative Treatments
Despite our best efforts at preventive care, dental issues can still arise. Our conservative approach prioritizes preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible while addressing dental problems. We offer a range of restorative services designed to repair and strengthen your teeth, restoring them to full function and aesthetic appeal.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
When cavities occur, we aim to repair the decayed area effectively and aesthetically. Jeppson Dental provides tooth-colored fillings made from a durable composite material that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. These fillings are a conservative and attractive solution to restoring decayed or broken teeth, as they require minimal removal of natural tooth structure.
Dental Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges are vital restorative solutions for teeth that have sustained significant damage or decay. Custom-designed to match the color and texture of your natural teeth, crowns cover the entire tooth, reinforcing its structure and function. Dental bridges fill the gap created by one or more missing teeth, restoring your ability to chew and speak properly while maintaining the natural shape of your face.
Conservative Treatment Options
Jeppson Dental is committed to delivering treatment methods that prioritize your health and well-being while minimizing unnecessary procedures. Our conservative philosophy extends to every aspect of our practice, ensuring that our patients receive only what is necessary for maintaining excellent oral health.
Dental Sealants and Fluoride Treatments
We offer dental sealants and fluoride treatments for additional protection against cavities, especially among children. Sealants act as a barrier, protecting the enamel from plaque and acids, while fluoride treatments help remineralize and strengthen teeth, making them more resistant to decay. These excellent preventive options align with our conservative, minimally invasive care philosophy.
Non-Invasive Periodontal Treatments
Gum health is a critical component of overall oral health. At Jeppson Dental, we provide noninvasive periodontal treatments to prevent and manage gum disease. Our services include deep cleaning procedures such as scaling and root planing, designed to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooth the roots of your teeth to aid in the natural healing process. We aim to restore gum health without surgical intervention by taking a conservative approach.
