All of our friendly dentists and staff will indulge you in the care you deserve and have come to expect, and you'll find any treatment we provide is always performed with the utmost consideration for your health and comfort.

Comprehensive Oral Exams

This is the first step in creating your personalized plan for total dental health. MG Dentistry's comprehensive exams include an extensive x-ray evaluation, analysis of the cheeks, palate, throat, tongue, mouth floor, and lips, TMJ evaluation, bite analysis, periodontal probings, orthodontic evaluation and so much more.  While this may seem like a straightforward objective, it is its own process that involves the incorporation of  various techniques, technologies and therapies.

Digital X-Rays

A more comfortable and faster alternative to traditional methods, MG Dentistry’s digital x-ray system reflects our dedication to efficiency and technology.  Our enviornmentally friendly digital system emits up to 90% less radiation than conventional x-rays. Plus there is no more waiting for the x-rays to develop! Extremely accurate digital images can be viewed instantly on the exam-room computer. These images can be viewed, enlarged and digitally stored in your dental record. 

 

 

Velscope Oral Cancer Screening

Oral cancer kills one person every hour, a tragic reality for a highly curable disease. The key to protecting yourself is early detection, and the key to early detection is a Velscope screening. By revealing tissue abnormalities, this procedure helps us identify the warning signs of oral cancer and develop a plan for optimal protection.

 

 

DIAGNOdent Laser Decay Detector

Using the DIAGNOdent laser technology, MG Dentistry specialists can locate pockets of decay that are hidden within the grooves of your teeth. More thorough than traditional methods, this tool helps eliminate cavities before severe damage sets in.

 

 

TMJ therapy

The best treatment for temporomandibular joint disorder is a long-term approach. At MG Dentistry, we begin by thoroughly screening your symptoms by performing a JVA anaysis to determine the best therapy for your individual needs. 

Night Guards/NTI

Grinding your teeth can lead to headaches, damage to tooth structure, and increased tooth sensitivity. Fortunately, treatment is relatively painless. A custom-fitted night guard provides a simple way to curb the negative effects of nighttime tooth grinding. You’ll feel better each morning, and the long-term health of your teeth will be restored.

 

 

SnoreGuard & Sleep Apnea Appliance

Snoring affects both the snorer and others sleeping in the house, causing headaches, fatigue, and concentration problems during the day. Snoring has widespread health implications including hypertension, depression and cardiac disease. But frequent, loud snoring may be a sign of sleep apnea, a common and potentially serious disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts as you sleep. At MG Dentistry we not only screen you, we guide you through the process of controling your snoring or sleep apnea.
