Looking for Affordable Dental Exams and Teeth Cleaning in Munster? Give Us a Call!

Have you been putting off a dental exam, cleaning, or other dental treatment because you are embarrassed by how long it has been since your last dental appointment? Are you looking for a respected dentist that offers quality services at a price that won’t break the bank? If so, give us a call. We offer full-service dental care that will improve the aesthetics of your smile, protect the health of your teeth and gums, and allow you to smile with confidence.

Wondering what’s involved in a dental exam? No matter how long it has been since your last visit to a dentist, our team will provide you with the treatment that you need and make sure that you are comfortable with each step of the exam or treatment process. During your initial dental exam, our dentist will inspect your teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of common oral health conditions, including:

  • decay,
  • bone loss,
  • periodontal disease,
  • oral cancer,
  • damaged teeth, and
  • worn tooth enamel.

If our dentist identifies any areas of concern, we will work with you to develop a treatment plan that fits your needs and budget.

Professional cleanings are one of the most common reasons for a dental visit. Even if you are diligent about your oral hygiene, professional cleanings are essential to keeping your teeth looking their best and your gums healthy. Whenever we eat or drink, a filmy substance called plaque develops on the surface of our teeth. Even with daily brushing and flossing, plaque can remain in hard-to-reach areas under the gumline and between the teeth. Over time, plaque hardens into a substance called calculus, which can damage the tooth enamel and cause decay. A professional cleaning is the only way to remove the hardened calculus.

When visiting our office for dental care in Munster, we’ll be sure to keep you apprised of the costs of your care. The cost of your treatment is determined by the type of service or treatment required. We will provide you with an outline of your cost once you and your dentist have decided on a treatment plan. To make our services as affordable as possible, we accept a number of popular dental insurance plans and offer convenient financing options for qualified patients. Call today for more information.

What Are the Signs That Indicate That I Need Periodontal Treatment?

Plaque is a breeding ground for bacteria that can affect your gums and attack the structures that hold your teeth in place. The first stage of gum disease is known as gingivitis. At this stage, you may notice that your gums appear red and swollen. They may also be slightly sensitive and bleed when you brush or floss. Gingivitis can often be reversed with deep cleanings and other conservative treatments. If ignored, gingivitis can progress to full-fledged periodontal disease, which normally requires intensive gum disease treatment to eliminate bacteria under the gumline and to stabilize the teeth to prevent tooth loss. If you notice changes in your gums or your teeth seem to be shifting slightly, you should schedule a dental exam in Munster to determine if you need periodontal disease treatment.

Are There Effective Remedies for Chronic Bad Breath?

All of us have experienced bad breath at one time or another, such as first thing in the morning or after eating certain foods. About 25% of Americans, however, struggle with a severe and chronic form of bad breath known as halitosis. This type of bad breath can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor dental hygiene, oral health conditions, and even general health conditions. If over-the-counter remedies are not keeping your halitosis symptoms in check, give us a call. Our experienced dentists can determine if your bad breath is caused by an oral health issue and provide at-home oral hygiene recommendations, professional cleanings, and specialized treatments to help you control the problem.

What Is an Oral Cancer Screening?

Oral cancers typically cause few, if any symptoms, during the early stages. By the time you notice a lump or experience pain, the cancer has likely spread to other parts of the body and become life-threatening. Oral cancer screenings are the best way to detect oral cancer when it can be easily treated. Our dentists screen for oral cancer during every initial exam for patients age 18 and older. The process is quick and painless and involves the dentist visually inspecting the inside of the mouth for any suspicious lesions, bumps, or discolorations. Your dentist will recommend further testing and treatment if he or she notices anything unusual.
