Preventive Care That Actually Prevents Problems
Comprehensive exams, advanced diagnostics, and personalized prevention strategies. Dr. Prentice takes the time to catch issues early—saving you from bigger problems and costs down the road.
Why Preventive Care Matters
Preventive dentistry isn't just about cleanings—it's about catching problems before they become painful, expensive emergencies using AI-powered diagnostics and thorough examinations. Here's what consistent preventive care protects you from:
Avoid Expensive Emergencies
Early detection of cavities, cracks, and gum disease means simple, affordable fixes—not root canals, extractions, or implants.
Save Time and Discomfort
Regular checkups take 1 hour twice a year. Emergency treatments take multiple visits, recovery time, and unnecessary stress.
Keep Your Natural Teeth Longer
Preventive care helps you avoid tooth loss from decay or gum disease—nothing replaces your natural teeth.
Protect Your Overall Health
Oral health affects your entire body. Gum disease is linked to heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and pregnancy complications.
Benefit from Advanced Technology
Our digital diagnostics including AI-powered cavity detection catch problems traditional exams miss—giving you peace of mind and earlier intervention.
Build a Long-Term Relationship
In a solo-doctor practice, Dr. Prentice knows your history, goals, and concerns—preventive care tailored to you, not quotas.
Preventive care is the foundation of a healthy smile for life. Invest in prevention now—avoid costly problems later. Learn more about our digital diagnostics, gum health care, and advanced cavity prevention.
Comprehensive Exams & Cleanings
Want to catch problems before they become expensive? Comprehensive dental exams and professional cleanings eliminate costly surprises—Dr. Prentice personally performs thorough diagnostics using AI-powered analysis so you avoid root canals, extractions, and emergency visits by catching issues early, not when they're painful.
AI-Powered Digital Diagnostics & iTero Lumina
Tired of guessing what's going on inside your teeth? Digital diagnostics eliminate uncertainty—low-radiation X-rays, Overjet AI cavity detection, and iTero Lumina annual wellness scans reveal exactly what's happening so you make informed decisions based on data, not fear or guesswork.
Gum Health & Periodontal Care
Are your gums bleeding or receding? Preventive periodontal care (also called gum disease treatment or periodontal maintenance) stops bone loss and infection—maintaining strong, healthy gums so you keep your natural teeth for life, not lose them to untreated disease.
Advanced Preventive Care & Remineralization
Want to protect your family from cavities and enamel erosion? Advanced preventive treatments strengthen and repair enamel—professional sealants, Clear Defense, Curodont remineralization, fluoride, nano-hydroxyapatite, and CariFree cavity prevention system eliminate decay before it starts so you avoid fillings and sensitivity.
CariFree Cavity Prevention System
Tired of getting cavities despite good hygiene? CariFree treats cavities as a bacterial infection—rebalancing oral pH and killing cavity-causing bacteria with science-based fluoride or fluoride-free options so you stop decay at the source, not just patch holes after they form.
Family-Centered Care
Looking for a dentist your whole family can trust for years? Family-centered preventive dentistry builds lasting relationships—Dr. Prentice provides personalized care for all ages in a solo-doctor practice so you see the same trusted doctor every visit, not whoever's available that day.
