Also our oral hygienists will conduct teeth cleanings and fluoride treatments to maintain and improve your oral health.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Preventative Care<\/h2>\n<p>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.<br \/>\nWhen deciding whether or not to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.islandcoastdentistry.com\/request-an-appointment.html\">schedule your biannual visit<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Dental Health<\/h2>\n<p>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.<br \/>\nIn addition to cleanings and checkups, Island Coast Dentistry also offers other <strong>dental services<\/strong> such as the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cosmetic Dentistry<\/li>\n<li>Invisalign Clear Braces<\/li>\n<li>Crowns and Bridges<\/li>\n<li>Teeth Whitening<\/li>\n<li>Cosmetic Bonding<\/li>\n<li>Porcelain Veneers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>General and Cosmetic Dentist in Naples<\/h2>\n<p>Naples, Florida dentist Dr. Jeffrey Skupny uses a variety of dental procedures and techniques to provide the very best result for your individual circumstances.<br \/>\nHis artistic abilities and experience with dentistry along with his use of the finest materials and products combine to create a healthy, natural looking, spectacular smile. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.islandcoastdentistry.com\/contact.html\">Contact our dental office<\/a> in Collier County area today to learn more about the dental options available to you.<br \/>\nIsn\u2019t it time to look younger and feel better?
