Preventive Dentistry

Our philosophy about dentistry can be summed up in five words: We Treat the Whole Mouth. In other words, we will provide you with "The Big Picture," a comprehensive diagnosis that reveals any current concerns while also forecasting potential problems. You will feel empowered to make wise decisions about oral healthcare after Dr. Leslie or Dr. Scott Strommer present and explain your treatment options.

One of the most important things you can do to prevent dental problems is visit New Image Dental for a checkup and hygiene appointment every six months. Your visit will allow the dentist to find problems like gum disease, tooth decay, tooth damage, and oral cancer in the earliest stages when conservative therapy is an option.

At your hygiene appointment, our hygienist will gently and thoroughly remove plaque, tartar, and decaying food particles from your teeth. If she finds that you have gum disease, she'll recommend appropriate gum treatment.

We offer the following preventive care services:

• Regular cleanings/hygiene visits: We also review and demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques.
• Maintenance: This involves necessary follow-up care for restorative or cosmetic procedures.
• Patient education: We are happy to provide you with information on all aspects of dental care. See our library on this site to learn about some of the procedures and tools New Image Dental offers.
• Occlusal therapy to treat bite disorders: Many people do not know that the "bite does matter." They suffer from head, neck, and facial pain (HNFP, including headaches and migraines) caused by a bite interference. If you are a HNFP sufferer, we can analyze your bite to see if you are a candidate for TMJ therapy.
