Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry is the practice of maintaining good oral hygiene with the combination of regular dental check-ups and hygiene visits.

Preventative dentistry is vital from a young age and will teach your child good habits on how to floss and brush their teeth correctly which is vital all through life.

A general or family dentist will help you take care of your oral health as well as detect and treat any issues that may occur. General dentists will also work alongside specialists such as periodontists and orthodontists to promote good oral health.

The goal of preventive dentistry is to help a patient avoid any dental problems by ensuring proper cleaning and maintenance.

If there is a minor problem, the objective will be to fix it quickly to avoid the issue from escalating into something more severe.

Minor dental problems can easily turn into major problems if you do not have them seen too early. Here are a few examples, an infection can spread, a gap can cause bone loss in your jaw and misaligned teeth will only get worse with age.

Preventive dentistry allows us to stop dental issues from becoming serious conditions that require expensive treatments.

While the maintenance of going to the dental clinic for hygiene cleans and check-ups at least twice a year can cost some money, it will save you more money in the long run.

With the help of a dentist, you will know the right way to maintain your oral health using the right tools that fit your teeth and gums correctly.

You will also have the same dedicated professional clinician monitoring your dental health each time you visit.

Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry services cover a wide range of procedures to maintain and improve your oral health and interventions for issues.

The practice covers core procedures from diagnostics and preventive interventions to complete recovery from any oral health issue.

Maintenance, Early Detection & Treatment

CHECK-UPS

Check-ups are a basic but valuable service that you need for preventive oral care. You cannot simply self-check because a dentist will have professional tools.

MAINTENANCE

During your regular visits to the dental clinic, you should also see the hygienist for your hygiene cleans, as well as your dentist who will give you solid, professional advice on how to maintain a healthy mouth.

TREATMENTS

During your regular check-up or when you call for an emergency appointment, your dentist will see if you need treatment and do it as early as possible.

Are You In Pain Or Discomfort?

We advocate prevention to avoid gum problems, but if you are experiencing pain or discomfort right now, we can remove that problem for you as early as possible. You don’t need to wait until your next checkup – book an emergency appointment to see us now.

Dental Examinations

When you come to Holford Partners Curaden for a dental examination or a check-up, we will look at your teeth and assess your oral health.

We will use tools including a mirror and probe to see all parts of your mouth thoroughly.

Once we have a diagnosis, we will prescribe you either hygiene cleaning, maintenance instructions, products you must use, or treatment if you have an issue.

A dental examination is a painless process that you should do regularly, at least once every six months.

Regular checkups will help you prevent complex dental problems that will cost you a lot of money in the future.

 

Preventive Care

During your regular check-ups at Holford Partners Curaden, we will ensure that you prevent oral diseases, the best ways possible.

Our dentists will teach you the best oral hygiene techniques and products that fit your lifestyle.

We will prescribe you a long-term schedule or program for regular hygiene cleaning for your teeth to continue being in top shape and have a superstar’s confidence.

Prevention is always better than cure, and you could end up using a lot more money than you would have if you neglect it.

Come to our clinic at least every six months and save money with preventive care.

 

Hygiene Cleaning

Hygiene cleans are a painless dental service where a dental hygienist professionally cleans your teeth and gums.

The hygienist first checks your mouth for infections or inflammations to make sure you are ok to clean.

Then, we proceed to scaling or removing plaque and tartar from your teeth’s surfaces and gaps and near the gumline using a manual scaler (small hook) or an ultrasonic scaler.

The ultrasonic scaler uses gentle vibration and water to remove significant amounts of plaque and tartar.

Then the hygienist will proceed to flossing, polishing, and fluoride application.

 

 

X-Ray and Intra-Oral Scan

If you are having discomfort in your teeth and gums, you will have to figure out what’s going on before we can find you a treatment.

When you come to Holford Partners Curaden with a problem, we will investigate with the latest technology.

We will diagnose your problem with the help of an x-ray or an intra-oral scanner, where we will place a camera in your mouth so you can see everything that’s going on about it.

At Holford Partners Curaden, you can be sure that no issue will be left unseen, and no pain will be left unsolved.

We are the best problem detectors and solvers for your oral health issues and discomforts.

 

 

Composite Fillings

Composite fillings are done when your tooth has a damaged or infected portion, but the dentist can still save a significant area of it.

You need it if you can see damage and decay on your teeth or feel some sensitivity, pain, or discomfort.

During a check-up, we will be able to find out if you need it or not. If so, we will schedule a session or multiple ones if you have more than one affected tooth that needs fillings.

We will drill out the infected portion and reform your tooth using composite fillings – your smile will be good as new.

With our expertise and technology, we can guarantee that the procedure will be pain-free.

 

Gold Inlays

We offer gold inlays, a solid alternative to fillings that can last you 20 years or more. We fortify our inlays by combining the best metals.

If you have had damages to your teeth due to decay or an accident, gold inlays are an excellent choice.

The gold and metals we use are hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant, making them 100% safe for your health. They are an excellent alternative to composite fillings.

Getting gold inlays involves the same drilling procedures and filling as regular ones – except the material is different.

If you are looking for gold inlays, you can have the procedure done at Holford Partners Curaden with top-notch quality.

 

Root Canal

A root canal is done to save a tooth that would otherwise be removed because of inflammation or infection in the canals holding its pulp, causing intense pain.

This endodontic surgical procedure will remove the throbbing pain without having you lose your precious tooth.

After an x-ray diagnosis and finding out you need the procedure, the goal will be to remove the pulp, cleaning the canal thoroughly, and sealing it to prevent future infection.

After the procedure, we will use an impression of your teeth to create a crown, making your tooth good as new.

We make sure that you will experience zero pain and guarantee 100% relief from your discomfort.

 

 

Extractions

Extractions are needed either as a last resort for a severely damaged or infected tooth or as a prerequisite for orthodontics or cosmetic procedures.

This procedure is painless and straightforward, with the use of anaesthesia and dental tools.

When you are scheduled for extraction due to infection, your dentist would’ve probably given you antibiotics a week before the date to prevent complications post-surgery.

After the procedure, you can continue with your cosmetics or have your tooth replaced with an implant or dentures.

You can have all these services at Holford Partners Curaden, and you won’t have to jump from one clinic to another.

 

Periodontics

Gum disease is the top reason for losing teeth, and most people get by not knowing that they have it and will only be concerned when they see bleeding.

It would be best to protect your gums from disease, but we can cure it for you if you suffer gum loss or infections.

We do scaling and root planing, which is to meticulously clean the roots, removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria. This is usually followed by weeks of taking antibiotics to eliminate further infection.

We do tray delivery systems, implants, regeneration, soft tissue grafting, gingivectomy, or gingival sculpting.

Holford Partners Curaden is the best place to get affordable yet effective treatments if you have any gum problems.

 

Dental Implants

If you have lost a tooth or after an extraction, you have the option of getting a dental implant. It is a painless surgery you can have with us.

A dental implant is a metal post attached to your jaw bone that serves as the root’s replacement.

The surgery will last 1-2 hours per tooth, and you will have to wait for at least three months of complete healing before the final restoration of your smile. You first will be given a temporary crown.

Three to six months later, your lab-made crown is done, and the final steps are achieved.

Come to Holford Partners Curaden for dental implants. We guarantee quality work that lasts a lifetime.

 

 

Crowns and Bridges

If you have a lost or broken tooth, you can replace or fortify it with a crown. It is made of ceramic and is a durable and beautiful solution to your problem.

A crown will be used to cover a dental implant. Usually, you will first get a temporary one after surgery.

A crown will also be ideal for covering a severely damaged tooth, holding a bridge to replace several missing teeth, or using it for cosmetic purposes. Permanent crowns are made in our laboratory.

A bridge is used to cover adjacent lost teeth, attached via a crown on an implant or a damaged tooth.

If you want to smile with beaming confidence again, book an appointment with us – we got everything covered.

 

Veneers

The composite and porcelain veneers that we will layer on your teeth’ surface will make your smile better and bring your confidence to the next level.

Our veneers will improve the looks and function of your teeth while protecting them from damage.

Our veneers last longer than anything you’ll get from other clinics as they are made with the best materials, utmost care and adherence to the highest quality standards.

Veneers are perfect for an aesthetic upgrade or if you are recommended to have them for protective purposes.

However it may be, when you get veneers from Holford Partners Curaden, you’ll come out of the clinic beaming with confidence.

 

Dentures

Our modern dentures are prosthetics made of high-quality acrylic resin and created to fit your mouth perfectly, unlike old ones that cause many issues.

We have partial dentures for if you still have most of your natural teeth and complete dentures if you have none left.

You can have removable dentures that are easy to put in and take out, some of which require implants. You can also have fixed dentures that are held by several implants.

Dentures can be a cheap alternative if you are not yet ready for more permanent replacement methods.

Get dentures from us – we make them, so they function and look like originals, and nobody can tell they are fake.

 

Migraines

If you are suffering migraines, you probably suffer from TMD or temporomandibular disorders, which are jaw issues.

It is caused when the parts of your jaw, like muscles, bones, and joints, are not working together correctly.

To fix your jaw problems, we offer orthopaedic appliances or a mouth guard or bite plate to reduce teeth grinding. Also, you can expect that we will prescribe you painkillers for any pain.

You could also be given muscle relaxants to help reduce strain for you to avoid migraines.

If you are having migraines, it would be best to call Holford Partners Curaden for an appointment today.

 

Braces and Orthodontics

We offer lingual braces to fix your smile effectively. They are hidden from view, with less impact on speech, and don’t interfere with your lips.

You can also get Invisalign, a transparent plastic retainer that effectively aligns your teeth without having you lose your confidence.

We ensure that your straightened teeth remain to have the proper bite and don’t return to their misshapen condition with our retainers.

We also offer braces, orthodontic elastics, and all solutions for any issue you have when it comes to the form of your teeth.

We make all affordable options available, and we ensure faster treatment than any other clinic can do.

FAQs

What can I do to deal with a toothache?

When you have a throbbing and painful toothache, it could indicate a few issues. You either have an injured or infected tooth and in most cases, you could have a cavity or abscess that needs treatment.

What you need to do is book an emergency appointment with the dentist. Tell your dentist everything you feel and what you think might have caused the problem.

If it takes some waiting time before your scheduled appointment and you want some comfort, you can opt to use anti-inflammatory medicine for some relief. Do this only if you are sure you have no liver problems or allergies to the drugs.

The most common options are naproxen, mefenamic acid, or ibuprofen.

If you refuse to take medicine without advice, it is okay. You can apply a cold compress and gargle with salt water to level down the pain.

When your appointment comes, your dentist will check your teeth and pinpoint your problem. Afterwhich, you are recommended either extraction, root canal, or composite fillings.

Is preventive dentistry expensive?

No. In fact, it is a money saver.

Whatever you are paying a quality practice twice a year for regular visits and cleaning are the cheapest dental service you get. When you go for cheaper, inexperienced dentists, you might not have the best preventions and you could acquire dental issues that would cost you a significant premium.
