Charlottesville Family Dentistry

We encourage all of our patients to attend regular six-month exams, so we can ensure your teeth remain healthy. Visiting the dentist at regular intervals has proven to be the most efficient and cost-effective way to care for your smile.

When you come to see one of our skilled dentists, you will enjoy:

• An evaluation of your periodontal (gum) health
• Examination of your teeth
• Oral cancer examination
• X-rays and cleaning (if required)

Each comprehensive exam is adjusted to meet your specific needs and address any concerns you may have.

A sound hygiene routine is vital to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Through daily brushing and flossing, you can dramatically reduce your chances of tooth decay and plaque build-up. These are the two leading causes of dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and much more.

Our helpful team not only assists your family in creating a solid routine but performs cleanings in our office too. We recommend seeing one of our dental hygienists every six months for a cleaning. This helps remove any bacteria or plaque you may have missed from everyday brushing.

It is a little-known fact that your gums are the foundation of oral health. What’s more is unhealthy gums have been proven to lead to other health problems such as heart disease.

At Aesthetic Dentistry in Charlottesville, we sincerely care about your well-being so we offer periodontal therapy to keep your gums healthy. During your regular exams, we check for any signs of gum disease and perform a thorough professional cleaning to prevent this problem from spreading. You may be experiencing periodontal disease if your gums feel sensitive, are inflamed, or start bleeding. If this happens, then please contact us to set up an appointment.

Many patients we see are nervous about visiting the dentist, but that no longer needs to be the case. With ADC, you are in control. We can take everything at a pace you feel comfortable with and answer your questions along the way. However, if you have a more severe form of dental anxiety then we offer two wonderful sedation options:

• Anxiolysis
• Nitrous Oxide

These safe and tested sedatives help you relax, feel zero pain, and may even allow you to sleep through your treatment. This is just another way our supportive team is making quality dentistry available to all.
