Preventative Care
A Healthy Mouth AND HEALTHY BODY
More Than a Cleaning
Preventative care at our practice goes beyond a routine check-up. Dr. Lewis and his team take a thorough, data-driven approach to understanding your complete oral health, because what’s happening in your mouth affects your whole body.
Periodontal (gum) care is incredibly important. Preventing the breakdown of bone and roots, and recognizing and reducing inflammation now can save you from future pain or costly treatments. Research continues to link oral health to cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s, and other systemic conditions. That’s why we invest the time to look at the full picture, not just the surface.
What We Look For
Comprehensive Screenings & Diagnostics
Gum & Bone Health
Comprehensive periodontal charting with measurements per tooth allows us to track inflammation, bone loss, recession, and loose teeth.
Oral Cancer Screening
We use specialized screening technology to detect pre-cancerous conditions early, when they are most treatable. Documented with photos for ongoing monitoring.
Bacterial & Viral Testing
Acidity & PH Testing
This testing identifies silent acid reflux and erosion patterns that quietly damage your teeth over time. Many patients don’t know this is happening until we test for it.
X-Rays, 3D Imaging, & Digital Scanning
X-rays, CBCT 3D imaging, and intraoral scanning let us track changes in your teeth year after year. Recession, wear patterns, and acid erosion become visible over time.
