Even with diligent brushing and flossing, skipping your bi-annual dental appointments can be risky business. Regular check-ups usually only take about an hour and can save you significantly more time and expense. Seeing the dentist every 6 months allows our team to catch small issues before they become big problems. Keep your smile healthy with preventive care.

Why is preventive dental care important?
Preventive dental cleanings, also known as prophylactic cleanings, are the procedures you likely think of when you’re reminded of the dentist. They’re routine cleanings for patients with healthy gums. The American Dental Association recommends two cleanings per year for most patients. This gives our team a chance to remove plaque and tartar build up, so your smile can stay healthy and beautiful for longer.
what Are Trigger Point Injections and how Can They help?
Trigger Point Injections are used to soothe tense muscle fibers or commonly known as "knots." These knots are caused by acute or repetitive microtrauma, leading to stress on your muscles. They can often times lead to tension headaches. We use trigger point therapy at our office to relieve neck and shoulder knots, especially ones that are stubborn and cannot be improved by deep tissue massages or other therapies.
How Trigger Point Injections work:
- We use a combination of Lidocaine and Botox
- We also use Smooth PDO Threads to encourage bio-stimulation of collagen to promote better healing after the injection!
- Results last up to 3-6 months
