Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screening involves visual and tactile examinations of your oral cavity, including your lips, gums, cheek lining, tongue, and the floor and roof of your mouth. At Couture Dentistry, we are concerned about your overall wellness and your healthy teeth. Early detection is the best way to beat oral cancer, so it is vital that you schedule regular appointments.
Teeth Cleaning
When combined with at-home care, regular teeth cleanings can help you avoid serious and costly oral health issues. Regular teeth cleanings can also improve your overall health. Our team of hygienists at Couture Dentistry provides the preventive care you and your family need to experience the wide array of benefits of excellent oral health.
TMJ Treatment
Millions of Americans suffer from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. Our specialists will direct you to the best treatment options since this condition can have debilitating effects. Schedule a consultation with Couture Dentistry to learn more about your treatment options for TMJ disorder symptoms, such as jaw pain, tenderness, or discomfort.
Snoring Treatment
Snoring that is loud enough to disturb you or those around you may be an indication of a more serious health condition. Snoring treatments are available at Couture Dentistry for patients worried that their snoring may negatively affect their sleep and overall health. Contact our practice today to learn how snoring treatment can help improve your quality of life.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride strengthens teeth against bacteria that cause decay. Although fluoride is present in most tap water, many foods, and other everyday sources, a fluoride treatment at the dentist’s office can help to protect your teeth more effectively. At Couture Dentistry, we often provide fluoride treatments to our pediatric and adult patients to promote excellent oral health.
Dental Sealants
Preventing cavities and tooth decay is an essential part of our oral health. As important as brushing and flossing are, however, they are not sufficient on their own to keep your smile healthy. Children are particularly prone to dental problems. Adding a dental sealant as an extra layer of protection against decay is a service we offer at Couture Dentistry.
Bruxism Treatment
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, can cause severe jaw pain, headaches, and tooth loss in severe cases. The effects of bruxism can be reduced without surgery with a custom-made occlusal splint. Adults and children can benefit from bruxism treatment. The American Sleep Association estimates that 10% of adults and 15% of children grind their teeth at night.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Even daily activities become more challenging when you suffer from sleep apnea. The condition can affect your health in the long run if left untreated. Many treatments are available for sleep apnea that can improve your sleep and protect your health and wellbeing. According to the AASM, sleep apnea patients treated with therapy experienced decreased depression from 73% to 4%.
