Dental Checkups & Cleanings

Maintaining optimal oral and overall health requires practicing good at-home oral habits as well as seeing one of our dentists every six months for a regular checkup and cleaning. Apart from checking your teeth and gums for signs of decay, cavities, gum disease, and damage, our team will also remove any hardened plaque and tartar from your smile. In addition, our dentists and hygienists will perform oral cancer and airway screenings during these visits so that you walk away with a healthier smile and greater confidence in your overall well-being.

Children’s Dentistry

We recommend that you bring your children in for their first regular checkup when they’re around the age of three. Our staff is experienced when it comes to treating little smiles in a gentle and friendly manner. This is why we keep the first appointment short and very comfortable for them. We’ll carefully examine their teeth and gums first; we may also take a few X-rays so that we can discover any areas of decay as well as check on the development of their permanent teeth beneath the gums.

We can also provide helpful instruction on how to better care for teeth and gums at home, first with you, the parent, and then with your son or daughter once they’re old enough to take the words to heart. By slowly and carefully building a strong and trusting relationship with your child, we hope to establish a lifelong path toward excellent oral health!

Fluoride Treatment

Making sure your teeth remain cavity-free between appointments is important, and it’s why we offer additional fluoride treatment for children and adults. If you or your child are prone to cavities, we will be happy to provide another layer of protection. As a natural mineral that is key to fighting tooth decay and strengthening enamel, its quick and painless application keeps pearly whites safe from harmful bacteria that might otherwise try to wreak havoc on your smile.

Dental Sealants

Commonly used among younger patients, dental sealants can be beneficial for adults as well, especially if cavities are likely to occur. Since molars and premolars can easily trap bacteria and food particles in the small crevices of their chewing surfaces, dental decay can quickly form, leading to necessary fillings and crowns if left untreated. With dental sealants, though, these clear coatings can be easily applied during a regular checkup, giving these teeth additional protection.

Athletic Mouthguards /Sportsguards

Playing sports may be one of your family’s favorite hobbies, but if you or your child do not have proper mouth protection, more of your time may be spent visiting one of our emergency dentists. Instead of hoping a knocked-out, cracked, or broken tooth doesn’t occur during a game, we can equip you with a custom-made athletic mouthguard that delivers maximum protection against excessive pressure. Comfortably designed using digital impressions of your smile, these oral devices make it easy to breathe and remain confident while trying to score the next goal or basket.

Nightguards for Bruxism

Whether it’s stress or a misaligned bite that is causing you to grind your teeth, failing to seek proper treatment will only lead to tooth sensitivity, chronic jaw pain, and worn-down tooth enamel. However, with a customized nightguard from our dentists at Dublin Reserve Dental Group, we can craft a uniquely made oral device that fits comfortably inside your mouth and prevents your upper and lower arches of teeth from moving against each other throughout the night. Instead of further damaging your smile, you can enjoy a pain-free, healthier set of teeth each day.
