Family Dental Care

Our hygienists are highly trained, experienced, efficient,
and loved by our patients for their gentle techniques. Although professional
teeth cleaning is very important, it is just one aspect of hygiene appointments
in our office. We realize that knowledge is your most powerful weapon in the
war against oral disease, and education is an important focus of our hygiene
appointments. Whether you are 2 or 92, we will do our best to educate you about
the many ways that you can protect and improve your oral health.
We perform a caries risk assessment, which is a test
specifically designed to determine how likely you are to get cavities, and what
can be done to prevent them. Contrary to common belief, poor hygiene is not the
only cause of tooth decay. Nutrition plays a much bigger role in dental health
than many people realize. Of course, nutritional needs vary considerably from
one person to the next, depending on age, health conditions, and other factors.
We will advise you about ways that you can lower your risk. These may include
healthier eating, controlling existing health conditions, improved hygiene
techniques, dental treatments, and more.
For patients seeking cosmetic enhancement, those procedures
are incorporated into the overall treatment plan. Cosmetic and restorative
dentistry go hand-in-hand, because the most biocompatible materials are also
the most beautiful. Additionally, restoring the health of your smile is vital
for the longevity of your teeth and any dental work that we do.
It is never too early, or too late, to begin the journey
towards excellent oral health and we are here to help. We would like to invite
your entire family to make our Clinton, MO practice your dental home. Call us
at and set up an appointment to get started.
