Cleanings & Exams

At Atlantic Dentistry at Bartram, we believe in the importance of preventative care and regular visits. During these routine checkups, our team will perform a thorough dental exam using visual assessment and digital x-rays to ensure that your teeth and gums are as healthy as possible. We will also use this opportunity to provide a professional dental cleaning and polish to get rid of any tough plaque or tartar build-up.

Bad Breath Treatment

Bad breath can be embarrassing and distressing. That’s why we are dedicated to helping you eliminate it! Our team has experience in treating bad breath and can diagnose the underlying cause to provide you with the best solution. Most often, the cause of bad breath comes from trapped food particles, untreated decay, or even the use of some medications. Whether treatment is as simple as a professional cleaning or a more in-depth procedure, we are here to help.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Early detection of oral cancer is the key to successful treatment and cure. That’s why we make oral cancer screenings a regular part of your preventative care routine. When you come to see us for an appointment, we will check for sores or patches in your mouth, examine the throat and neck for any lumps, and ask if you have noticed anything unusual. We use the most advanced technology available to detect any abnormalities that could indicate oral cancer. If anything is found, our team will provide you with all the necessary information and options to ensure that you get the treatment you need. 

Pediatric Dentistry

We understand how challenging it can be to find a dental care provider for your kids; you want them to thrive in a dental office where they receive quality service from professionals who care about them. Fortunately, we believe that our practice checks all the boxes for Jacksonville, FL parents. 

Our office offers comprehensive pediatric dentistry services for children of all ages. These services include cleanings, exams, fluoride application, and treatment for any problems that may adversely affect your child’s smile. Our team works hard to create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for children so that they can learn about proper dental care in a positive environment. 

Fluoride

The application of fluoride is a powerful preventative measure that aids in maintaining dental health. With the ability to prevent cavity formation and even reverse the early development of decay, adding fluoride treatment to your oral care routine can prove invaluable. 

Our team can provide fluoride treatments to children and adults as needed to help strengthen their teeth and prevent decay. With fluoride, you can enjoy the following benefits: 

  • Strengthened enamel 
  • Reduced risk of cavities
  • Decreased tooth sensitivity
  • Improved dental health

Sealants

Sealants offer a great way to prevent tooth decay by forming a protective barrier that seals out food particles, bacteria, and plaque. The sealant itself is formed from a special material that quickly bonds to the teeth, protecting them from these harmful substances. 

The process involves painting the sealant onto the surfaces of the back teeth and then hardening it with an ultraviolet light. The sealant fills all of the grooves and crevices along the tooth surface and shields this vulnerable area of the tooth. While sealants are mainly used for children, adults with deep pits and fissures on their molars can also benefit from this procedure.

Periodontal Care

Periodontal disease is an infection of the gum tissue that can lead to long-term damage if left untreated. Fortunately, part of our job during routine visits is to look out for early signs of periodontal disease; these include symptoms such as bleeding or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, and gum recession. 

In the event that we do detect gum disease, our team can provide treatment through services such as a standard cleaning or a scaling and root planing procedure—depending on the stage and severity of the disease.

If you believe you may have periodontal disease, please contact us as soon as possible. The sooner you take action, the better chances you have of reaching the best outcome for your smile.

Periodontal Maintenance

Periodontal maintenance is vital to preserving and protecting the teeth and gum tissue following periodontal disease diagnosis. Our team recommends these routine appointments to help prevent the progression of periodontal disease. 

During these visits, we will perform deep cleanings to carefully remove any plaque or bacteria that may be present both above and below the gum line. This helps keep your gums and teeth healthy while minimizing the risk of recurring infections. 

Mouthguards

At Atlantic Dentistry at Bartram, we offer custom-made mouthguards for those who need extra protection for their smiles during physical activities. Mouthguards are important for helping to protect teeth from damage or injury and can be made to fit your particular mouth shape and size. This ensures that you have a comfortable fit and dependable protection when you need it most. 

Night Guards

Night guards are a great way to protect your teeth from the damage caused by nighttime grinding and clenching. Unfortunately, many patients are unaware they are doing this until their dentist notices signs of worn-down teeth and alerts them to the problem.

If you are suffering from headaches, jaw pain, recessed gum tissue, or have noticed a loss of enamel, we encourage you to schedule an appointment. Our team can fit you with a custom-made night guard that fits your teeth perfectly, allowing you to get a comfortable night’s sleep while keeping your smile safe.

Sleep Apnea Appliances

Sleep apnea is a serious condition that can lead to long-term health implications if left untreated. The condition is characterized by continuous breathing pauses throughout the sleep cycle due to obstruction of the airway; this happens when tissues in the mouth or throat relax and cause a blockage. 

If you have just been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, our team can provide you with a custom-made appliance that helps keep your airway open during sleep. These appliances work by gently pushing the lower jaw forward to a position that eliminates obstruction for proper respiration. This solution helps to reduce snoring and provides relief from the symptoms of sleep apnea.

TMJ Therapy

Temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMD, is a condition that affects the jaw joint and can cause both tension and discomfort. The temporomandibular joint is responsible for connecting the lower jaw to the skull and can be affected by stress, teeth grinding, or even misalignment. When the joint becomes inflamed, it can cause pain and difficulty with chewing or talking.

Our team can provide a comprehensive treatment plan to help alleviate the symptoms of TMJ. This typically includes a combination of jaw exercises and an oral appliance designed to alleviate tension and relax the joint. Our goal is to help you find a comfortable solution that fits your lifestyle and helps reduce any discomfort you may be feeling. 

No matter what your dental needs are, our team at Atlantic Dentistry at Bartram is here to help. Contact us today to schedule your appointment and get one step closer to a healthier, more beautiful smile. We look forward to seeing you soon!
