A healthy smile begins with a STRONG Foundation and SMART Prevention. At Illume Advanced Dentistry, our General & Preventive Dentistry services are designed to stop dental problems before they start. Through regular care and early detection, we help you maintain optimal oral health and avoid the need for complex procedures.
Comprehensive Dental Checkups
Routine dental check-ups are the cornerstone of preventive care. During your visit, our team thoroughly examines your teeth, gums, jaw, and oral tissues, allowing us to detect early signs of of cavities, gum disease, or other conditions.
Digital X-Rays
At Illume, we use low-radiation, high-resolution digital x-ray technology to detect hidden issues such as bone loss, impacted teeth, infections, and cavities between the teeth. This allows us to detect problems invisible to the naked eye, ensuring early, accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
Professional Teeth Cleaning & Polishing
Even the most diligent brushing and flossing can miss areas where plaque and tartar build up. Our gentle ultrasonic cleaning and polishing go beyond your daily routine, to remove stubborn deposits and bacteria that can cause decay and gum disease, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and healthy and brightrening your smile.
Fluoride Treatments & Sealants
Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and makes it more resistant to decay. Dental sealants, meanwhile, are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars. For children and adults prone to cavities, dental sealants and fluoride apllications provide an extra layer of protection against tooth decay.
Habit Counseling and Lifestyle Guidance
We provide support and counselling for habits such as thumb sucking, nail biting, or teeth grinding which can affect oral development and dental health. We also offer guidance on diet lifestyle changes to protect your teeth from damage caused by dietary habits, smoking, or stress.
Together, these preventive measures help you stay ahead of dental issues, minimize treatment needs, and enjoy a lifetime of confident smiles.
