Preventative Dentistry
Stay ahead of dental problems
Grace Dental of Overland Park offers preventive dentistry services that help protect your smile for years to come!
Preventive dentistry is the best way to keep your teeth healthy. It's a proactive approach that focuses on preventing oral health issues before they happen. By practicing preventive dentistry, you won't have to see your dentist as often and will help catch problems early on.
Dental Examinations
We will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums, specifically
looking for any potential problems. Depending on the patient,
X-rays may be taken. If there are any signs of decay or other
concerns, treatment options will be recommended, making
note for future observations. Oral hygiene instructions will also
be provided along with suggestions to help you care for your
teeth after your visit.
Routine Teeth Cleanings
Routine dental cleanings should be scheduled twice a year.
During this visit, one of our dental hygienists will remove plaque
from your teeth, especially from places where your brush and
floss can't reach. We will then clean and apply fluoride to your
teeth to help protect them once you leave the office.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a great way for anyone to better protect
their teeth against the harmful effects of plaque and bacteria.
Sealants are typically applied in one visit so there's no need
to worry about multiple trips or appointments.
