Preventative Care
At Wegman Dental Group, preventive dentistry is the cornerstone of everything we do. Our goal is simple: to help you keep your natural teeth healthy and strong for life by catching small issues early and stopping problems before they start. Regular preventive care not only saves you time and discomfort—it’s the most effective way to maintain a bright, confident smile and support your overall health.
Dr. Gary Wegman, and our dedicated team provide gentle, thorough preventive services in a relaxed, welcoming environment. We take the time to educate and empower every patient with the knowledge and tools needed for excellent oral health at home.
Preventative Services Include:
Comprehensive Exams – Detailed check-ups to evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues, with early detection of any potential concerns.
Professional Cleanings – Gentle removal of plaque, tartar, and surface stains that brushing alone can’t reach, followed by a refreshing polish.
Digital X-Rays – Low-radiation, high-definition imaging to spot cavities, bone loss, or other issues between teeth and below the gum line.
Dental Sealants – Thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to shield deep grooves from bacteria and food particles.
Custom Mouthguards – Athletic guards to protect teeth during sports and night guards for patients who grind or clench.
Oral Cancer Screenings – Careful examination of your mouth, throat, and neck at every visit, using advanced tools for early detection when it matters most.
Personalized Home-Care Plans – Guidance on brushing, flossing, diet choices, and habits tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle.
Periodontal (Gum) Maintenance – Regular monitoring and deep cleanings for patients with early gum disease to prevent progression.
