Preventative Dental Cleanings
We offer preventive care to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Professional dental cleanings are one of the most important steps you can take to protect your oral health. Routine cleanings are part of a bi‑annual preventative care exam that helps keep teeth and gums healthy.
During a cleaning, one of our trained hygienists thoroughly cleans your teeth, polishes away surface stains, and may apply fluoride to help prevent cavities. More importantly, these visits include a complete oral exam. A routine exam lets the dental team spot early signs of gum disease, tooth decay, and other conditions before they become more serious.
We recommend that you combine professional cleanings with a good at‑home routine. Our office wants you to stay healthy at home and in our office.
Gum Surgery
Dr. Cain offers periodontal surgery for patients with severe gum disease or seeking treatment for a gummy smile. His goal is to restore healthy gums while improving both the function and appearance of your smile.
A gingivectomy is one of the most common procedures he performs. This surgery removes excess gum tissue to reduce pockets that trap bacteria, helping to stop the progression of gum disease and improve oral health. It can also reshape the gumline for a more balanced and natural-looking smile.
Dr. Cain also offers soft tissue surgery to subtract or add gum tissue as needed. If you have infected or damaged gum tissue, surgery can remove the unhealthy tissue and promote healing. In some cases, grafting techniques can be used to add healthy tissue to areas where gums have receded. It protects the tooth roots and improves overall gum stability.
Restorative Dental Care
When you lose or damage your teeth, you want restorative care to improve your oral function. Dr. Cain provides a full range of implant options to meet your needs. He offers dental implants to replace single teeth or multiple missing teeth. Implant posts offer a stable and long-lasting foundation for replacement teeth.
For patients missing several teeth, he can place implant-supported bridges to restore chewing ability and appearance. Dr. Cain also offers custom dentures, both full and partial, to replace larger areas of missing teeth.
You can also benefit from All on 4. It uses as few as 4 implants to support a tooth arch. Each treatment is personalized to protect your oral health, improve function, and help you regain confidence in your smile.
