Exercising Prevention through Patient Education
Many individuals do not realize how oral health and overall well-being are closely related. That is why Dr. Sullivan utilizes his wealth of knowledge to discuss the importance of proactive dental care measures and what each patient can do to help ensure a healthy dental environment.
When you implement a sound oral health regime, not only are you significantly protecting the health your teeth and gums, but you are helping maintain the proper function and beauty of your smile. Regular brushing and flossing, along with visiting your dental professional every six months, prevents you from developing serious infections such as gum disease, which can eventually lead to severe overall health issues.
Thorough Dental Examinations
Dr. Sullivan and his team begin your comprehensive treatment with a detailed examination of your current dental state. We’ve equipped our office with the latest in dental technology so we can capture precise images of your smile.
If any dental complication is detected, we strive to gain a precise understanding of the root of the problem and any other underlying factors that may be contributing to it. We work closely with you to recommend the best course of action for your unique needs. We only endorse treatment options that will be the most viable to address the needs of your smile!
Gentle Professional Cleanings
Undergoing professional cleanings at our Downey office helps remove harmful plaque buildup, which prevents decay and infection. Neglecting your bi-annual cleanings is, unfortunately, a common cause of tooth decay and periodontal disease. Tartar buildup can be extremely difficult to eliminate with brushing alone, and typically requires professional cleanings to remove properly.
During treatment, we carefully examine gum-tissue pockets to determine if there are signs of periodontal concern. If gum infection is detected, more in-depth procedures such as scaling and root planning will be recommended.
Dr. Sullivan also offers LANAP laser dentistry to address complex or advanced cases of periodontal issues effectively without the need for invasive surgical procedures.
