At Southland Dental, prevention is the foundation of everything we do. Our general and preventive dentistry services are designed to help you avoid disease, detect issues early, and maintain a healthy, confident smile at every stage of life.

Through routine check-ups, diagnostics, and personalized assessments, we help you stay one step ahead of dental problems before they become more serious or costly to treat.

We approach every patient with professionalism, thoroughness, and a commitment to clinically informed care. Whether you're due for a routine cleaning or seeking guidance on your child's oral health, we’re here to provide the tools, knowledge, and support you need.

DENTAL EXAMS

Regular dental exams are essential for detecting issues early and protecting your overall health. During your exam, we assess your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw joints, and screen for signs of decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. Digital imaging may be recommended for a comprehensive view. Early detection leads to simpler, more effective treatment.

DENTAL HYGIENE

Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing alone can’t reach. Our hygienists also monitor gum health and provide tailored home care guidance. Preventive hygiene visits help lower your risk of cavities, gum disease, and other complications.

CARIES RISK ASSESSMENT

Not all patients face the same risk for tooth decay. We assess your oral environment, habits, and dental history to identify your personal risk level. This allows us to customize your care and recommend strategies that help prevent cavities before they start.

DIGITAL X-RAYS

Digital X-rays give us a safe, high-resolution look below the surface. We use them to check between teeth, monitor bone levels, and detect issues not visible during a visual exam. Our low-radiation technology supports accurate diagnosis and proactive care.

DIGITAL INTRAORAL SCANNING

This advanced tool captures 3D images of your teeth—without the mess of traditional impressions. It’s ideal for creating crowns, bridges, night guards, and orthodontic planning, offering a more comfortable and precise experience.

CONE BEAM CT (CBCT)

For complex cases or surgical planning, our CBCT scanner provides 3D images of your teeth, bone, nerves, and airway. This diagnostic imaging is essential for implant placement, TMJ assessment, and evaluating pathology or trauma.

Children’s Dentistry

We offer gentle, age-appropriate care to support growing smiles. From first visits and fluoride treatments to cavity prevention and education, our goal is to create a positive experience that helps your child feel confident at the dentist.
