General & Preventative Dentistry
Comprehensive Exams
Regular dental exams are the best way to keep your smile in shape.
By identifying cavities, gum disease, infection, or irritation in the early stages, you can prevent a small issue from becoming larger dental problems. Book an appointment today to stop a problem from developing tomorrow.
Oral Cancer Screenings
As with other types of cancer, it’s important to perform routine screenings for oral cancer
Detecting abnormalities or potential complications at an early stage allows you to pursue the most effective treatment options. At Medure Dental, we use a combination of visual and manual screening techniques, to check your mouth for signs of cancer or precancerous lesions.
X-Rays
Our digital x-ray system uses lower levels of radiation than traditional x-rays and allows images to be shared immediately with patients
Computer monitors in exam rooms make it easy for us to discuss the results of the examination with you
Hygiene
Thorough cleanings with experienced hygienists keep your teeth and gums in top condition
We use Cavitron scalers to remove plaque and tartar, freeing your mouth from problematic trapped bacteria. You’ll leave our office feeling fresh and clean!
Periodontal Therapy
Gum disease causes swollen gums, bleeding and pain. It can lead to tooth loss and increases your risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease
That’s why we take great care to keep your gums in optimum health, providing deep cleaning and periodontal therapy right here in our Avondale office.
Fluoride Treatments
We offer fluoride treatments at ever visit for both adult and child patients. After all, no one likes a cavity.
Fluoride is an element that occurs in nature, and is often added to products like toothpaste or mouthwash. In most areas, there’s even fluoride in water supplies. That’s because it has been well proven to help prevent cavities and tooth decay, and it keeps your teeth strong. That’s important to overall oral health – and we’re not just talking about kids!
Mouthguards
Protecting your teeth should be a priority when playing sports or engaging in any high-contact activity.
We create custom, professional mouthguards to help prevent injury.
Anesthesia
We want you to feel at ease in our dental chair.
That’s why we use oral sedation and nitrous oxide to keep you comfortable. At Medure Dental, we will be happy to discuss sedation options in advance of your procedure, or you can call us at 904-387-0501 with any questions.
Sealants
Sealants help protect the back molars from bacteria, decay, and cavities.
First, the tooth-colored sealant material is "painted" on the molar, and then dried in place with a hand-held light. The procedure is quick and painless.
TMJ/TMD Dentistry
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) and TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder) problems are painful and wide-ranging: headaches, jaw stiffness, worn broken down teeth – the list goes on and on. We want to help you get back to living comfortably and symptom-free.
Protecting your smile is an investment in your future health and wellbeing.
