Comprehensive Care for Your Whole Family

At Otter Creek Dental, we believe in keeping your smile healthy for life. That’s why we recommend regular six-month checkups. These visits let us catch small issues early, keep track of your overall health, and tailor care just for you.

Dr. Branden and Dr. Dave take time to listen to your concerns and review your health history to make sure nothing affects your oral health. We’re here to help you feel comfortable, informed, and confident about your care.

What Happens During Your Exam

During your visit, you can expect:

• A visual check of your face, head, neck, and mouth
  
  
• Photos to track your smile and any cosmetic concerns
  
  
• An exam of your teeth and gums for cavities or gum issues
  
  
• X-rays to see hidden cavities and bone levels
  
  
• A bite evaluation to ensure your teeth work properly
  
  
• Oral cancer screening
  
  
• Intraoral camera images so you can see any areas of concern

Cleanings & Oral Hygiene

Seeing our hygienists twice a year helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems. We’ll review your brushing and flossing habits and provide tips to keep your teeth and gums healthy between visits.

Gum (Periodontal) Care

Gum disease starts with bacteria in your gums and can go unnoticed. It affects millions of Americans and may even impact your overall health, including heart disease and diabetes.

Early warning signs include:

• Red or swollen gums
  
  
• Bleeding or sensitive gums
  
  
• Bad breath
  
  

If we notice your gums need extra care, we offer periodontal therapy right here in our office. With local anesthetic and advanced tools like lasers, we remove tartar and bacteria below the gums to restore gum health. After treatment, we’ll guide you on how to keep your gums strong and healthy.
