As its name suggests, the goal of preventive dentistry is to prevent problems from occurring through a proactive regimen of dental care. One of the keys to maintaining your oral health and your best smile is to attend a regular schedule of exams and cleanings.

Our experienced hygienists will first take the time to thoroughly clean your teeth and help you understand basic home care techniques and available office treatments. They will work closely with you to craft a dental care plan that fits your needs and ensures a lifetime of oral health.

The next stage of preventive dentistry is a thorough exam by Dr. Lybrook. At Lybrook Dental Center, we utilize state-of-the-art laser technology to identify tooth decay at the early stages of development. Finding and filling even very small spots of decay early is key to preventing larger problems, and our laser diagnostic tool allows us to detect areas of decay that traditional mechanical probes miss. It also requires no x-rays and is a much more comfortable procedure. Furthermore, identifying decay early allows shallower, less invasive fillings which preserve more of the tooth and enhances your long-term dental health.
