Why Regular Preventative Care?

Preventive dental care is a proactive strategy for keeping your teeth and gums healthy before they become infected with avoidable diseases. It usually includes six-month cleanings and exams with Dr. Querishi, as well as educational resources regarding proper oral hygiene habits.

When problems like cavities pop up, your treatment becomes therapeutic or restorative. Regular access to preventative dentistry helps reduce your risk of restorative treatments like crowns or fillings. When you visit our Woodridge office, we’ll utilize several methods of keeping your teeth healthy.

Dental Exams in Seven Bridges

Every dental checkup begins with a thorough examination of the head and neck, including joint (TMJ) function and range of motion to a lymph node exam. Your occlusion (the way your teeth fit together) will also be assessed. We'll also go over your past medical and dental history, as well as discuss any risk factors or concerns you may have.

Regular dental exams enable us to track the progress of your oral health from one appointment to the next. Dr. Querishi can intercept early symptoms as soon as possible, providing the least invasive restorative option available.

Early and routine screening for common oral disorders such gum disease and oral cancer are critical for preventing tooth loss and improving your long-term health.

Preventative Dental Cleanings in Woodridge

The importance of good oral hygiene (including daily flossing) in reducing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease cannot be overstated. Even the best home maintenance might leave plaque biofilm behind, and mild plaque can calcify into hard "tartar" (calculus) that’s impossible to remove with a toothbrush or floss.

During your professional cleaning, we remove calcified tartar deposits across your teeth, between them, and just beneath the gumlines. We recommend these cleaning visits every six months.

The hygienists at Seven Bridges Dental Studio gently remove tartar and polish away surface stains, leaving your smile cleaner, brighter, and easier to maintain until your next dental exam.

Periodontal Therapy

Keeping gum disease at bay can sometimes require more active measures than a simple cleaning. Our highly qualified team will treat the source of your oral inflammation deep below the gums to help prevent complete tooth loss. Periodontal treatment, also known as gum disease therapy, is the cornerstone of preserving your smile. It also affects your overall immune system. If you have symptoms of bleeding gums, bone loss, or loose teeth, don’t hesitate getting your oral infection under control.

CBCT and Digital X-rays

In the past, most dentists have only had access to two-dimensional X-rays. While digital radiography is extremely detailed, a 2D images can only convey a fraction of the information that a 3D X-ray can. This high-quality imaging allows our Woodridge dentist to plan your digital dental implant treatment before the actual procedures are ever performed.

Making Your Dental Care Affordable

The majority of preventative treatment and exams are covered at or near 100% by most dental insurance plans. If you need restorative care, we’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that details your insurance coverage and treatment alternatives. We also offer flexible payment plans.

Your First Appointment

During your dental checkup, we'll examine each of your teeth as well as the gums that surround them. We'll also check for any aging or leaky restorations to see how well your existing dental work is holding up.

We’ll also need to take a series of X-rays to check for abnormalities that aren't evident visually, such as bone loss, abscesses, or decayed areas between your back teeth. After your exam, we'll clean your teeth to remove tartar deposits and plaque tucked down below the gumlines. Our hygienist will finish with a light polish to remove any residual plaque and surface stain, leaving you with a brighter, fresher smile.
