Of course, the most obvious reasons for regularly visiting our doctors have to do with the health of your mouth.  The thorough cleaning that we provide helps prevent the build up of plaque and tartar, as well as preserving the color of your teeth and preventing periodontal disease.  Our doctors and team also look for developing problems such as signs of decay, cracks, wear, and periodontal disease.

A powerful diagnostic tool that we routinely use is the Dexis Digital X-ray. Unlike conventional film based X-rays, this machine takes digital X-ray pictures so that our doctors can look for signs of decay in a matter of seconds. Plus, this X-ray technique requires only half of the radiation of conventional film X-rays, making this diagnostic tool safer than ever!

At Smiles For Life we also pay attention to how your dental health effects the health of your entire body. For example, our doctors provide comprehensive screening for oral cancer. Oral cancer is easily treated when detected early, but is difficult to see with a conventional visual inspection until it has reached an advanced stage. That's why we use the ViziLite Plus cancer screening system at Smiles For Life. This quick and convenient screening tool makes oral cancer much easier to see in its earliest stages so you can get the most effective treatment possible!

Naturally, other aspects of your health can also effect your oral health. For that reason, we can provide an evaluation of your diet and medications so that we better understand your unique dental needs! This allows us to offer better advice, resulting in better dental health.

Preventive dental health care is important for people of all ages, so give our office a call today at 952-888-2300 to set up an appointment!
