Preventative Dentistry
What Is Preventative Dentistry?
Preventative dentistry is the practice of maintaining your oral health through regular, proactive care. The goal is to stop dental problems—like tooth decay, gum disease, or enamel erosion—before they start. Preventative dental care includes professional services from your dentist and healthy daily habits at home.
At Advanced Dentistry of El Paso, preventative care is at the core of everything we do. Dr. Verastegui develops personalized plans for each patient to support a lifetime of healthy smiles. Prevention is key to long-term oral health, whether it’s your child’s first visit or a biannual exam.
Why Preventative Dentistry Matters
Preventing dental issues before they develop protects more than just your teeth—it protects your time, wallet, and well-being. Proactive care helps you:
- Avoid cavities and infections
- Catch problems early for easier treatment
- Maintain fresh breath and a beautiful smile
- Reduce the risk of systemic health issues
- Build a strong foundation for lifelong oral health
Regular preventative appointments ensure small concerns don’t become expensive or painful procedures later. Families across El Paso trust us for complete preventative dentistry care.
Benefits of Preventative Dentistry for El Paso Residents
Saves You Money
Preventative care reduces the need for more invasive and costly dental procedures, such as crowns, root canals, or extractions.
Minimizes Discomfort
By treating problems early, we help you avoid pain from untreated cavities, gum disease, or oral infections.
Improves Overall Health
Oral health is directly linked to systemic health. Preventative care lowers your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory illness.
Promotes Early Detection
We use advanced diagnostic tools to detect oral cancer, gum disease, and other concerns before symptoms appear.
Establishes Healthy Habits
Regular visits encourage better brushing, flossing, and nutritional habits for patients of all ages
Our Preventative Dentistry Services in El Paso
Advanced Dentistry of El Paso offers a complete range of preventative services for adults, teens, and children. Each service is tailored to your unique needs, smile goals, and health history.
Comprehensive Dental Exams & X-Rays
Routine checkups allow Dr. Verastegui to thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and jaw. Digital X-rays help identify decay, infection, bone loss, and other hidden problems early.
Dental Cleanings
Professional cleanings remove hardened plaque and tartar that brushing can’t eliminate. Our hygienists gently polish your teeth, helping to prevent cavities and gum inflammation.
Fluoride Treatments
We apply a concentrated fluoride solution to strengthen enamel and reduce your risk of tooth decay—especially helpful for children and patients prone to cavities.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are thin, protective coatings placed on the back teeth to block bacteria and food particles. They’re ideal for kids and teens, but also beneficial for adults with deep grooves in their molars.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Dr. Verastegui performs thorough visual and tactile exams to detect signs of oral cancer. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
Periodontal Evaluations
We evaluate your gum health at every visit and offer periodontal therapy when needed to treat gingivitis and periodontitis.
