Our approach
The essentials of a healthy smile.
- 01
Preventive care
Routine dental visits allow the dentist to evaluate the teeth and gums, identify potential concerns, and help patients maintain their oral health.
- 02
Dental cleanings
Professional cleanings help remove plaque and buildup from areas that can be difficult to reach through brushing and flossing alone.
- 03
Restorative dentistry
When a tooth is damaged or affected by decay, restorative treatment can help protect the tooth and restore its function.
- 04
Family dentistry
Dental needs change throughout life. Our practice provides individualized care for patients at different ages and stages of oral health.
- 05
Ongoing care
Regular dental visits provide an opportunity to monitor changes in oral health and address concerns before they become more complicated.
Preventive dentistry
Small habits.
Long-term care.
Routine dental care is an important part of maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Regular examinations and professional cleanings allow the dental team to monitor oral health, identify changes, and provide guidance based on each patient's needs.
Professional cleanings
Professional cleanings complement daily brushing and flossing by removing plaque and buildup from areas that may be difficult to clean at home.
At-home care
Consistent brushing, flossing, and other recommendations from the dental team form an important part of maintaining oral health between visits.
Restorative care
When a tooth needs
a little more attention.
Dental problems can develop from decay, wear, damage, or other changes over time. Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and protecting affected teeth while preserving as much natural tooth structure as appropriate.
Tooth-colored fillings
Used to restore areas of a tooth affected by decay or minor damage.
Dental crowns
A crown may be used when a tooth requires additional protection or restoration because of significant damage or loss of tooth structure.
Dental bridges
A dental bridge can be used in certain situations to replace a missing tooth or teeth using neighboring teeth for support.
Family dentistry
Familiar care,
year after year.
Dental needs can change throughout life. Regular care allows the dental team to become familiar with a patient's oral health history while adapting recommendations as those needs change.
At Smiles 'R' Us, the goal is to create an environment where patients feel comfortable asking questions, understanding their care, and building healthy dental habits over time.
