When you come to Holford Partners Curaden for preventive dentistry, either a dental examination or a check-up, we will look at your teeth and assess your oral health.

Once we have a diagnosis, we will prescribe you either hygiene cleaning, maintenance instructions, products you must use, or treatment if you have an issue.
A dental examination is a painless process that you should do regularly, at least once every six months.
Regular check-ups will help you prevent complex dental problems that will cost you a lot of money in the future.

Hygiene Cleaning
Hygiene cleans are a painless dental service where a dental hygienist professionally cleans your teeth and gums.
The hygienist first checks your mouth for infections or inflammations to make sure you are ok to clean.
Then, we proceed to scaling or removing plaque and tartar from your teeth’s surfaces and gaps and near the gumline using a manual scaler (small hook) or an ultrasonic scaler.
The ultrasonic scaler uses gentle vibration and water to remove significant amounts of plaque and tartar.
Then the hygienist will proceed to flossing, polishing, and fluoride application.
X-ray and Intra-Oral Scan
If you are having discomfort in your teeth and gums, you will have to figure out what’s going on before we can find you a treatment.
When you come to Holford Partners Curaden with a problem, we will investigate with the latest technology.
We will diagnose your problem with the help of an x-ray or an intra-oral scanner, where we will place a camera in your mouth so you can see everything that’s going on about it.
At Holford Partners Curaden, you can be sure that no issue will be left unseen, and no pain will be left unsolved.
We are the best problem detectors and solvers for your oral health issues and discomforts.
Composite Fillings
Composite fillings are done when your tooth has a damaged or infected portion, but the dentist can still save a significant area of it.
You need it if you can see damage and decay on your teeth or feel some sensitivity, pain, or discomfort.
During a check-up, we will be able to find out if you need it or not. If so, we will schedule a session or multiple ones if you have more than one affected tooth that needs fillings.
We will drill out the infected portion and reform your tooth using composite fillings – your smile will be good as new.
With our expertise and technology, we can guarantee that the procedure will be pain-free.
Periodontics
Gum disease is the top reason for losing teeth, and most people get by not knowing that they have it and will only be concerned when they see bleeding.
It would be best to protect your gums from disease, but we can cure it for you if you suffer gum loss or infections.
We do scaling and root planing, which is to meticulously clean the roots, removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria. This is usually followed by weeks of taking antibiotics to eliminate further infection.
We do tray delivery systems, implants, regeneration, soft tissue grafting, gingivectomy, or gingival sculpting.
Holford Partners Curaden is the best place to get affordable yet effective treatments if you have any gum problems.
Dentures
Our modern dentures are prosthetics made of high-quality acrylic resin and created to fit your mouth perfectly, unlike old ones that cause many issues.
We have partial dentures for if you still have most of your natural teeth and complete dentures if you have none left.
You can have removable dentures that are easy to put in and take out, some of which require implants. You can also have fixed dentures that are held by several implants.
Dentures can be a cheap alternative if you are not yet ready for more permanent replacement methods.
Get dentures from us – we make them, so they function and look like originals, and nobody can tell they are fake.
Migraines
If you are suffering migraines, you probably suffer from TMD or temporomandibular disorders, which are jaw issues.
It is caused when the parts of your jaw, like muscles, bones, and joints, are not working together correctly.
To fix your jaw problems, we offer orthopaedic appliances or a mouth guard or bite plate to reduce teeth grinding. Also, you can expect that we will prescribe you painkillers for any pain.
You could also be given muscle relaxants to help reduce strain for you to avoid migraines.
If you are having migraines, it would be best to call Holford Partners Curaden for an appointment today.

You can also get Invisalign, a transparent plastic retainer that effectively aligns your teeth without having you lose your confidence.
We ensure that your straightened teeth remain to have the proper bite and don’t return to their misshapen condition with our retainers.
We also offer braces, orthodontic elastics, and all solutions for any issue you have when it comes to the form of your teeth.
We make all affordable options available, and we ensure faster treatment than any other clinic can do.

Frequently Asked Questions
Preventive dentistry refers to the various practices, procedures, and techniques that help to maintain good oral health and prevent the development of dental problems. This includes regular dental check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and education on proper oral hygiene techniques like brushing and flossing. The goal of preventive dentistry is to keep the teeth and gums healthy, thereby reducing the need for more extensive, invasive, and expensive dental treatments in the future.
Some common preventive dental procedures include:
– Brushing: Brushing teeth twice a day using fluoride toothpaste helps to remove plaque and bacteria that can cause cavities and gum disease.
– Flossing: Flossing helps to remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth and along the gumline, which can cause gum disease if not removed.
– Regular check-ups: Visiting the dentist every six months for a routine check-up and cleaning is important to identify and address any potential oral health issues before they become more serious.
– Dental hygiene cleanings: During a cleaning, a dental hygienist removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains from the teeth, leaving them smooth and polished.
– Fluoride treatments: Fluoride is a mineral that helps to strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Fluoride treatments can be applied in the form of gels, foams, or varnishes.
– Dental sealants: Dental sealants are thin resin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to protect them from decay.
Generally, preventive dental procedures are less expensive than more extensive and invasive treatments, such as fillings, extractions, and crowns, and can save money in the long run by preventing the need for these treatments.
Preventive dentistry is a cost-effective way to maintain good oral health and prevent more serious and expensive dental problems in the future.
Go for quality and experience and you will save money.
It is recommended that you visit your dentist every six months for a routine check-up and clean. This frequency can vary depending on an individual’s oral health and risk factors, and a dentist can provide personalized recommendations. Regular dental appointments can help to detect potential problems early, before they become more serious and expensive to treat.
Brushing and flossing are the cornerstone of good oral hygiene and are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Brushing helps to remove plaque and bacteria from the surface of the teeth, while flossing helps to remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth and along the gumline, where a toothbrush cannot reach. Regular brushing and flossing can help to prevent cavities and gum disease, maintain fresh breath, and improve overall oral health.
Fluoride is a mineral that helps to strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Fluoride can be found in some tap water, toothpastes, and mouth rinses, and can also be applied in the form of gels, foams, or varnishes during a dental appointment. Fluoride helps to remineralize weakened enamel, reducing the risk of cavities and maintaining overall oral health.
