The first step in the preventative dentistry process at Allure Dental is a comprehensive dental examination. Dr. Murray or Dr. Mazur will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and mouth to check for any signs of potential problems. This includes looking for cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental issues. The examination may also involve dental X-rays to get a more detailed view of your teeth and jawbone. This comprehensive examination allows us to catch any potential issues early, when they are easier and less costly to treat.

The final step in the preventative dentistry process is patient education. We believe that informed patients are better able to maintain their oral health. We'll provide you with the knowledge and tools you need to take care of your teeth and gums at home. This includes teaching you proper brushing and flossing techniques, and giving you advice on diet and lifestyle factors that can affect your oral health.

After the examination, the next step is a professional dental cleaning. Our skilled dental hygienists will remove the plaque and tartar that build up on your teeth, even with regular brushing and flossing. This step is crucial in preventing gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Professional cleanings also include polishing your teeth to remove stains and leave your smile looking bright and fresh.
