Get Ahead Of Your Oral Health at Chandler Dentistry
At Chandler Dentistry, we are committed to helping our patients maintain healthy, beautiful smiles through preventative care. Preventative dental care is an important aspect of maintaining good oral health, and it is designed to help prevent dental problems from occurring in the first place.
Why Choose Chandler Dentistry?
Stop Problems Early
Regular check-ups and cleanings help us identify and address issues before they require more extensive — and expensive — treatment.
See What Others Miss
We use the latest digital imaging and diagnostic tools to detect cavities, gum disease, and other issues in their earliest stages.
Gentle, Thorough Care
Our hygienists and dentists work together to provide comprehensive preventive care in a comfortable, welcoming environment.
Dental Cleanings & Exams
The Foundation of Oral Health
Regular dental cleanings and exams are the cornerstone of preventive dentistry. During your cleaning, our skilled hygienists will remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can miss.
Dr. Grover will perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health, checking for signs of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other concerns. We recommend visiting us at least twice a year for optimal oral health.
Digital X-Rays & Diagnostics
Advanced Imaging Technology
At Chandler Dentistry, we use state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology that provides clear, detailed images of your teeth and jawbone while significantly reducing radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays.
Digital imaging allows us to detect problems that aren't visible to the naked eye, including cavities between teeth, bone loss, impacted teeth, and other hidden issues. Early detection means simpler, less invasive treatments.
Fluoride Treatments & Sealants
Extra Protection for Your Teeth
Fluoride treatments strengthen your tooth enamel and make it more resistant to decay. This quick, painless treatment is especially beneficial for children but can help patients of all ages.
Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where cavities are most likely to develop. Sealants create a barrier that keeps out food particles and bacteria.
Gum Disease Screening
Protect Your Gum Health
Gum disease is one of the most common dental problems, yet many patients don't realize they have it until it's advanced. During every visit, we carefully evaluate your gum health by measuring pocket depths and checking for signs of inflammation.
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is reversible with proper care. By catching it early, we can help you avoid more serious complications like bone loss and tooth loss.
Protect Your Pearly Whites With Dental Sealants
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). These teeth have grooves and pits that can trap food particles and bacteria, making them vulnerable to decay. Sealants fill in these grooves, creating a smooth surface that is easier to clean and less likely to develop cavities.
Our Dental Sealant Process At Chandler Dentistry
The sealant application process is quick, painless, and non-invasive. First, the teeth are thoroughly cleaned and dried. An acidic gel is applied to roughen the tooth surface, helping the sealant bond more effectively. After rinsing and drying again, the sealant material is painted onto the tooth enamel and hardened with a special curing light. The entire process takes just a few minutes per tooth.
Why Would I Need Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are especially beneficial for children and teenagers, as their newly erupted permanent teeth are most susceptible to decay. However, adults without decay or fillings in their molars can also benefit from sealants. They are a cost-effective preventive measure that can significantly reduce your risk of cavities.
An Important Dental Test: Oral Cancer Screenings
What Are The Types Of Oral Cancer?
Oral cancer can affect various parts of the mouth and throat. The main types include mouth cancer (affecting the lips, gums, tongue, and the lining of the cheeks), gum cancer (occurring in the gum tissues), and tongue cancer (developing on the surface or base of the tongue). Early detection is critical, as it dramatically improves treatment outcomes.
Our Oral Cancer Screening Process
At Chandler Dentistry, oral cancer screenings are a routine part of your dental checkup. During the screening, Dr. Grover carefully examines your mouth, tongue, throat, and surrounding tissues for any unusual changes, sores, or discolorations. If anything concerning is found, we can arrange for further evaluation. This quick and painless exam could save your life.
