Periodontal Treatment & Preventative Care

At your first appointment, our goal is to get to know you and get to know your teeth. We will take any necessary x-rays and provide a thorough examination of your teeth and the surrounding tissues. We will also take a few pictures and go over everything with you so that you have a complete understanding of the current health of your mouth.

If we determine that treatment is needed, we will provide you with all of your options and answer any questions you have about them. At Summercrest Dental, you are always a partner in your dental health.

Finally, if you need a cleaning, our skilled and gentle dental hygienist, Janelle, will be happy to provide this!
