Dental Cleanings and Exams

Regular dental cleanings and comprehensive exams are the bedrock of preventive dentistry. These routine visits allow us to:

• Remove Tartar & Plaquer: While diligent brushing and flossing are crucial for overall oral health, plaque and tartar can still accumulate, leading to cavities and gum disease. Our skilled hygienists use specialized tools to thoroughly clean your teeth, reaching areas your toothbrush can’t.
• Detect Issues Early: Dental exams allow Dr. Suh to identify potential problems like cavities, gum disease, and even early signs of oral cancer before they become more serious and costly to treat. Early detection often means simpler, less invasive treatment.
• Prevent Future Problems: By addressing minor issues promptly and providing personalized oral hygiene guidance, we help you prevent more significant dental concerns down the road.
• Maintain Fresh Breath and a Bright Smile: Professional cleanings remove stains and odor-causing bacteria, leaving you with a fresh, confident smile.

Dental Fillings

If a cavity is detected, a dental filling is often the solution to restore the tooth’s structure and prevent further decay. At Supremia Dentistry, we offer a range of filling materials to meet your specific needs and aesthetic preferences:

• Composite (Tooth-Colored) Fillings: Made from a durable resin material, composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, providing an aesthetically pleasing and strong restoration. They are an excellent choice for visible areas of the mouth.
• Amalgam (Silver) Fillings: While less aesthetic, amalgam fillings are a traditional and highly durable option, particularly for back teeth where biting forces are strong.

Dr. Suh will discuss the best filling material for your unique situation, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics. Supremia Dentistry is also proud to offer sedation options for those who are interested to ensure a calm and comfortable experience for all of our patients.

Fluoride Treatment: 

Fluoride is a natural mineral that plays a crucial role in preventing tooth decay and strengthening tooth enamel. While fluoride is present in many water supplies and toothpastes, professional fluoride treatments offered at Supremia Dentistry provide a highly concentrated application for maximum benefit.

Fluoride treatments can:

• Remineralize Enamel: Fluoride helps to reverse early stages of tooth decay by replenishing lost minerals in your enamel, making your teeth more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars.
• Reduce Cavity Risk: Consistent fluoride exposure significantly reduces your risk of developing new cavities.
• Benefit All Ages: While often associated with children, fluoride treatments are highly beneficial for adults, especially those prone to cavities, with dry mouth, or gum recession.

Oral Cancer Screenings

As part of every comprehensive dental exam at Supremia Dentistry, we perform thorough oral cancer screenings. This vital examination allows us to identify any suspicious lesions, bumps, or discolorations in your mouth, lips, tongue, and throat that could indicate oral cancer or precancerous conditions.

Early detection of oral cancer is crucial for successful treatment and improved outcomes. Our screening process is quick, non-invasive, and can be a life-saving measure. We are committed to your overall health, and this screening is a key component of our preventive care.
