Dental Cleanings and Exams

Regular professional cleanings and comprehensive exams are vital for maintaining optimal oral health. Our cleanings effectively remove plaque and tartar that brushing can’t tackle, while our detailed exams allow for early detection of potential issues like cavities and gum disease. This proactive approach not only ensures your smile remains bright and healthy but also helps you avoid more complicated and costly dental procedures in the future.

Dental Hygiene Education

At St. Johns Smile Co., we provide personalized guidance to help you master effective brushing, flossing, and overall oral hygiene. Our education sessions are tailored to meet your individual needs, ensuring you learn the best techniques to maintain a healthy mouth. With our support, you can prevent common dental issues and achieve long-lasting oral health. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge to care for your smile effectively.

Fluoride Treatment

Our fluoride treatments involve the application of fluoride gel, foam, or varnish to your teeth, significantly enhancing enamel strength and making it more resistant to decay. This quick and painless procedure is especially beneficial for children, helping to prevent cavities and promote oral health. However, adults can also experience significant protective advantages, ensuring everyone in your family can enjoy a healthier, more resilient smile for years to come.

Mouthguards

Our custom-fit mouthguards provide superior protection for your teeth during sports and physical activities. Designed for both comfort and effectiveness, these guards prevent dental injuries and allow you to focus on enjoying your favorite activities without worry. Whether you’re a dedicated athlete or someone who loves staying active, our mouthguards are essential to keeping your smile safe while you pursue your passions.

Nightguards

If you grind your teeth at night or suffer from bruxism, our nightguards can help alleviate discomfort and protect your teeth. Custom-made for your comfort, these guards create a protective barrier that reduces wear on your teeth, alleviates jaw pain, and helps you achieve a more restful night’s sleep. By investing in a nightguard, you’re taking a proactive step towards better oral health and overall well-being.

Sealants

Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth, where cavities often develop. This preventive measure effectively blocks food particles and bacteria, making it easier to maintain cleanliness in these hard-to-reach areas. By significantly reducing the risk of tooth decay, sealants serve as an essential part of your preventive dental care routine, contributing to a healthier and more confident smile.

Curodont for Early Cavities

When we find an early cavity that hasn’t broken through the enamel, Curodont gives us a gentle option before a filling. The liquid soaks into the weak spot and helps it rebuild minerals from your own saliva. There’s no drilling, and usually no numbing. We’ll check whether it’s a fit for your tooth.
