General Dentistry
General dentistry is the foundation of lifelong oral health. At Lakeview Dental Care, we provide a wide range of essential services to help you prevent, detect, and treat common dental issues. From routine exams to gum care and preventive treatments, our goal is to keep your smile strong, healthy, and bright at every stage of life. Whether you’re visiting for a checkup or a custom mouthguard, our experienced team delivers care with comfort and compassion.
Comprehensive Exams
Routine dental exams are the first step in maintaining a healthy smile. During your visit, we thoroughly evaluate your teeth, gums, bite alignment, and overall oral health. These exams help us detect issues like cavities, gum disease, or enamel wear early—when they’re easiest to treat. We’ll also discuss any concerns you may have and recommend personalized care to keep your smile in top shape.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are a highly effective way to prevent cavities, especially in children and teens. We apply a thin, protective coating over the grooves of the back teeth, which are most vulnerable to decay. The process is quick, painless, and can significantly reduce the risk of cavities in hard-to-clean areas—making it an easy way to protect growing smiles.
Oral Cancer Screening
Early detection is key when it comes to oral cancer. That’s why we include a quick, non-invasive screening as part of your regular exam. We carefully examine your lips, cheeks, tongue, and throat for any unusual changes or lesions. If anything looks suspicious, we’ll recommend the appropriate next steps—giving you peace of mind and potentially lifesaving insight.
Dental Hygiene
Professional cleanings are essential to keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Our dental hygienists gently remove plaque and tartar buildup, polish your teeth, and offer personalized tips for brushing and flossing more effectively at home. Regular hygiene visits help prevent gum disease, cavities, and bad breath, while keeping your smile fresh and clean.
Mouthguards
Protect your teeth during sports or physical activities with a custom-made mouthguard. Unlike store-bought versions, our professionally fitted guards are more comfortable and offer better protection. Whether you play contact sports or engage in recreational activities, a mouthguard can help prevent chipped teeth, jaw injuries, and more.
Nightguards
If you grind your teeth while you sleep—a condition known as bruxism—a custom nightguard can help. Made to fit your bite comfortably, nightguards cushion your teeth and jaw, preventing damage to enamel and relieving symptoms like headaches, jaw tension, and tooth sensitivity. They’re an easy, effective solution for long-term protection.
Periodontal Therapy
Gum health plays a critical role in your overall wellness. If you’re experiencing symptoms like bleeding gums, bad breath, or gum recession, you may have early-stage gum disease. Our periodontal therapy includes deep cleanings and maintenance treatments that reduce inflammation, remove bacteria, and help prevent further damage—protecting both your teeth and the bone that supports them.
