You might not realize it but regular dental checkups are not only critical for your oral health, but also for early detection and prevention of chronic health issues like gum disease and oral cancer.
During your annual checkup, Dr. Skupny will take x-rays and examine your teeth and gums for signs of deterioration or infection. Also our oral hygienists will conduct teeth cleanings and fluoride treatments to maintain and improve your oral health.

1. Preventative Care

Island Coast Dentistry, focuses on preventative care, ensuring that your smile stays healthy and looking its best. While personal hygiene like brushing and flossing is important to healthy teeth, a professional tooth cleaning is much more thorough and gets rid of plaque buildup. Island Coast Dentistry recommends a dental cleaning and a checkup every six months.
When deciding whether or not to schedule your biannual visit with Island Coast Dentistry, keep in mind that it is much easier to prevent health problems than to repair them. Poor oral hygiene can lead to several issues such as bone loss, gum disease, and infections. Island Coast Dentistry can help prevent oral hygiene problems with fluoride treatments, teeth cleanings, tooth decay prevention, and early detection of oral diseases.

2. Dental Health

During a checkup with Dr. Skupny he looks for signs of oral health problems such as gum disease or oral cancer. The early detection of gum disease is important since it is one of the leading causes of tooth loss, and it can lead to even greater health problems like heart disease and stroke. However, when caught early, gum disease can be reversed. Regular visits to Island Coast Dentistry can maintain both your oral health and overall health.
In addition to cleanings and checkups, Island Coast Dentistry also offers other dental services such as the following:

  • Cosmetic Dentistry
  • Invisalign Clear Braces
  • Crowns and Bridges
  • Teeth Whitening
  • Cosmetic Bonding
  • Porcelain Veneers
