At Copper Canyon Dentistry, we pride ourselves on preventing dental problems before they happen. As such, preventative dentistry is focused on preventing potential complications, rather than treating them. If you and your family are in need of professional dental services, we can help.
Preventative Dentistry

Dental Exam
It’s important to see your dentist regularly for a dental exam. Most patients should visit their dentist at least twice a year in order to ensure that any dental issues can be caught and treated before becoming extreme. Regular visits with Copper Canyon Dentistry will ensure your overall dental health.

Dental Cleaning
While regular brushing and flossing is essential, you’ll still need to have routine dental cleanings by a dentist or dental hygienist. That’s because toothpaste can only do so much to clean the teeth as plaque and tartar buildup over time, and they cannot be removed by brushing and flossing alone. Patients should visit at least twice a year to ensure patients have excellent dental hygiene, and their teeth and surrounding structures are healthy.

Oral Cancer Screening
At Copper Canyon Dentistry, we offer oral cancer screenings to give our patients peace of mind. It is important to note that screening is not a diagnostic procedure, but rather a precautionary examination. The goal is to ensure there are no cancerous or precancerous abnormalities. In most cases, an oral cancer screening is performed as a part of your routine exam. However, we may recommend more frequent screenings if you are at a higher risk for the disease.

Periodontal Disease Treatment
Periodontal disease can quickly grow and soon cause major problems that result in loose teeth, cavities, chipping, or the loss of teeth. When you need periodontal care, you need to have a dentist who has years of experience and who can help you get a healthier mouth.

Night Guards
If you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding), we may also recommend a nightguard. Many patients with bruxism tend to grind their teeth during sleep. A night guard acts as a barrier that prevents enamel wear.
Learn more about the importance of night guards.
Athletic Mouthguards
If you participate in physical activities that put you at risk for dental trauma or injury, we strongly recommend a mouthguard. A mouthguard will protect your teeth and prevent dental emergencies.

Sleep Apnea Oral Appliances
During your exam with our dentist, you can discuss your concerns about sleep apnea and learn how we can help you sleep easier with a mouthguard that fits over your teeth and clears the obstructions in your mouth that get in the way of your windpipe. An anti-snoring device is useful because it helps you stop snoring by opening your airway more so you can have more restful, rejuvenating sleep.

Tension and Headaches
