Get Proactive Smile Care With Regular Checkups

Routine dental visits are essential for maintaining a healthy smile. At Westlake Family Dentistry, we focus on preventing issues before they start. During your checkup, we use digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to get a detailed view of your teeth and gums.

Our advanced diagnostic tools, including DIAGNOdent cavity detection and oral cancer screenings, help us catch problems early. By visiting us regularly, you can avoid costly treatments and keep your teeth and gums in great shape.

We want you to feel comfortable during your checkups. You can snuggle up with a pillow and blanket, if you'd like, and listen to music using headphones. If you struggle with nerves during exams, ask about our sedation options.

Our dental cleanings go beyond simply polishing your teeth. We use ultrasonic cleaning technology for a thorough yet comfortable experience, removing plaque and tartar buildup. Laser bacterial disinfection ensures that harmful bacteria are effectively eliminated, protecting your gums from infection.

We also use panoramic X-rays and laser dentistry to provide accurate, comprehensive care.

By maintaining regular visits, you can prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues before they worsen. However, if problems are detected, we offer a full range of restorative treatments, including fillings, crowns, and dental implants, to restore your smile's function and appearance.
