If you’re struggling with dental discomfort, whether it’s persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or difficulty chewing, you may benefit from general dentistry. Anxiety about worsening oral health can compound, making you feel fearful about your smile when you should be showing it off with comfort and confidence.
Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity
Bleeding or swollen gums
Difficulty chewing or biting
Self-consciousness about stained teeth
Anxiety about potential dental issues
The fear of discovering more significant issues or dealing with long-overdue dental care can make it hard to take that first step. Some patients may feel overwhelmed by the potential time and financial commitment involved. If this is you, feel secure in the knowledge that the team at Ruby Canyon Dental understand these struggles and are here to listen and provide the care you deserve.
When it comes to general dentistry, we look to the future to keep your smile healthy and vibrant for years to come. At Ruby Canyon Dental, we offer comprehensive care, including routine cleanings, exams, and preventive treatments that help maintain strong teeth and gums.
With a caring approach, the team ensures that you always feel comfortable and supported, no matter your dental needs. From cavity prevention to gum health to preventative, forward-thin king care, general dentistry at Ruby Canyon Dental is designed to sustain your overall oral health and keep your smile shining.
Comprehensive exams give you a thorough evaluation of your oral health, ensuring any issues are identified early. We take the time to carefully assess your teeth, gums, and overall dental structure, using advanced technology to provide detailed insights.
These exams help prevent future problems and create a personalized plan tailored to your unique needs. With a focus on comfort and care, you’ll feel confident knowing that your smile is in great hands and that your oral health is being monitored with the utmost attention to detail.
Even the best daily brushing and flossing won’t get every bit of plaque between teeth and along the gum lines, and that plaque eventually hardens into tartar. Professional cleaning removes all that tartar and keeps your teeth and gums on track to stay healthy.
Patients should schedule routine cleaning appointments twice a year, but it’s essential to talk to our doctors about your individual dental health needs. Patients with risk factors for developing gum disease may need more frequent cleanings and diabetic patients often require as many as four cleanings per year to fight back against oral health difficulties.
Fluoride treatments are a powerful boost to your oral health, helping to strengthen your teeth and protect against decay. Our team at Ruby Canyon Dental will apply fluoride to enhance your teeth’s natural defenses, making them more resistant to cavities and enamel erosion.
This simple, effective treatment can be beneficial for children and adults alike, reinforcing your dental care routine and promoting long-term health. With fluoride treatments, you can enjoy greater peace of mind knowing that your teeth are fortified and safeguarded, leading to a healthier smile and reduced risk of future issues.
At Ruby Canyon Dental, we strive to stop oral cancer by diagnosing it early, and that’s where oral cancer screenings come in. Oral cancer screenings are quick and easy, and we can do it during your regular cleaning appointments. The screening consists of checking the tissues of your mouth for any irregularities, such as unusual textures or white or red spots.
Everyone should be screened for oral cancer regularly. Still, it’s essential for those with risk factors such as smoking, tobacco use, previous history of oral cancer, alcohol use, and age. Oral cancer screenings have been shown to increase the survival rate to 80% and better, which is why it’s so important to have this simple test done.
Periodontal Disease is an inflammatory disease that affects gum tissue and bones that support our teeth. Gum disease has also been found to increase the likelihood of heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory disease. Modern dentistry has found that lasers can be very effective in treating gum disease.
Early stages of periodontal disease are best treated with nonsurgical therapy. Even in severe cases of periodontal disease, there are nonsurgical therapies that we recommend before surgery.
Some of the periodontal services at Ruby Canyon Dental are:
Arestin – helps with the regeneration of bone and soft tissues that are damaged due to periodontitis
Gingivectomy – involves the removal of gum tissue for therapeutic or cosmetic reasons
Periodontal cleaning – provides a deeper cleaning below the gum line, including the root surfaces of the teeth
Scaling and root planing – removes the plaque and tartar above and below the gum line to help the gums reattach to the teeth
Custom mouthguards offer a tailored solution to protect your teeth and enhance your comfort. We create mouthguards specifically designed to fit the unique contours of your mouth, ensuring optimal protection during sports or from teeth grinding.
Unlike generic options, these custom guards provide a snug fit, reducing the risk of injury and alleviating discomfort. With a focus on your individual needs, custom mouthguards deliver superior protection and peace of mind, allowing you to enjoy daily activities and rest comfortably.
If you’ve ever woken up with a sore jaw, tooth pain, or a headache, then you know the struggle of sleep bruxism (chronic teeth grinding). Because it happens in your sleep, stopping it can be challenging, but one way to protect your teeth from the damaging effects of grinding is to wear a custom night guard.
Wearing a night guard provides a cushioning effect so that your upper and lower teeth can’t wear away at each other. It protects your teeth from external damage caused by grinding, such as chipping and erosion. If you think you have sleep bruxism, don’t wait for the symptoms to worsen; our team can determine the right solution and fit you for a custom night guard.
