Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings

Twice-a-year dental checkups and cleanings are the cornerstone of any healthy smile. Even if your mouth feels fine, Dr. Hong may detect signs of early tooth decay or infection brewing beneath the surface. With regular exams, our team can identify and treat these conditions before they wreak havoc. Then, we can thoroughly clean your teeth using airflow technology. With warm water and polishing powder, this technique removes built-up plaque and surface stains from the teeth in a much more comfortable manner than traditional methods.

Nightguards for Bruxism

Bruxism refers to chronic teeth grinding and jaw clenching, which often occurs while a person is asleep. Without treatment, bruxism can seriously harm tooth enamel, increasing the risk of breakage and decay. While we may not be able to stop the grinding itself, we can provide custom nightguards that act as a barrier between the upper and lower teeth. Simply wear this comfortable tray to bed, and your teeth should be well-protected from bruxism-related damage.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer claims over 10,000 lives each year, often because the condition isn’t diagnosed until the later stages. Early detection is vital for treating the disease before it has the chance to become life-threatening. That’s why Dr. Hong performs detailed oral cancer screenings during your routine checkups. She looks for even the slightest abnormalities in the tissues in your mouth, and if she suspects anything could be cancerous, she’ll promptly arrange for a biopsy and proper diagnosis.
