Why Should I Get Preventive Care?
Preventive care is essential for lasting oral health and overall well-being. By attending regular check-ups and cleanings at Mecca Dental, you allow us to identify and address dental concerns before they develop into more significant issues. This proactive approach to dental health not only keeps your smile beautiful but also plays a crucial role in avoiding complex treatments in the future.

Dental Exams
At our practice, we provide comprehensive dental exams to help maintain your oral health. These exams allow us to detect issues early, such as cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and tooth fractures. By catching these problems in their initial stages, we can prevent more serious complications and ensure your smile stays healthy and bright.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays provide a detailed view of your dental structure with less radiation exposure than traditional X-rays, enabling us to diagnose issues with precision and early intervention.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screenings are a vital part of our preventive care. We examine your mouth for early signs of cancer, as well as other abnormalities, to ensure prompt treatment and better outcomes.
Cleaning & Hygiene
Regular professional cleaning and hygiene sessions are crucial in maintaining oral health. Removing the plaque and tartar build-up helps to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatment is a painless and effective way to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay, by applying a concentrated solution to the teeth. Fluoride treatments prevent cavities from forming by re-mineralizing enamel, reversing early stages of tooth decay, and preventing recurrent decay around existing restorations.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a protective resin-material coating applied to deep, cavity-prone grooves on the chewing surfaces of the upper and lower back teeth, protecting them from decay-causing bacteria found in plaque and food particles.
Night Guards
For patients experiencing teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism), night guards are custom-made to protect your teeth and jaw from damage, and to alleviate discomfort.
Tools That Elevate Your Experience
Intraoral Camera
Our Intraoral camera is a key component of our preventive care, allowing us to capture high-resolution images inside your mouth. This technology aids in early detection of potential issues by providing clear, detailed visuals of your teeth and gums.
Facial Scanner
Our Planmeca Proface Facial Scanner plays a crucial role in preventive care by creating detailed 3D images of your facial structure. This advanced imaging helps in accurately assessing your oral health and planning treatments that align with your overall facial aesthetics.
A-Deck Chairs
Our A-Deck Chairs ensure maximum patient comfort during examinations and treatments. These chairs, designed for ergonomic support, make regular dental visits more relaxing and enjoyable.
Absolutely! Preventive care is necessary for everyone, regardless of age or dental history. It is a proactive approach to maintain good oral health, prevent future dental issues, and ensure your smile remains healthy and bright for years to come.
Preventive dentistry is key in stopping numerous dental issues before they start or become more serious. This includes cavities, gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis, enamel wear, and even more complex conditions that can affect overall health, such as oral cancer.
There are many benefits of preventive dental treatments. They include maintaining overall good oral health, early detection and management of oral health issues, reducing the likelihood of more invasive and costly treatments later on, and helping to ensure a lifetime of healthy smiles and good oral hygiene habits.
