Dental Solutions
Our Comprehensive Dental Offerings Encompass:
Exams & X-rays
Regular dental exams and X-rays are an essential part of maintaining good oral health. Our general dentist, Dr. Sartor, will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and mouth, looking for any signs of decay, disease, or damage. X-rays allow us to get a detailed look at the interior of your teeth, helping us to diagnose problems and develop effective treatment plans.
Hygiene
Good oral hygiene is crucial for preventing dental problems and maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Our dental hygienist will clean your teeth, remove plaque and tartar, and provide you with guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques. Regular hygiene appointments lower your risk of cavities and also help to detect early signs of gum disease and other issues, allowing us to provide prompt treatment. Prompt treatment means saving you time, money, and even pain down the line.
Conscious Sedation
For patients who experience dental anxiety, we offer conscious sedation options to help you feel calm and relaxed during your dental procedures. Dr. Sartor, our general dentist in Lugoff, prioritizes ensuring her patients are comfortable. Conscious sedation uses medications to help you feel calm and reduce any anxiety or discomfort. Our dental team will provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision about the right sedation option for you.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps to strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Our dental team may recommend fluoride treatments for children and adults to help protect against cavities and maintain healthy teeth. Fluoride treatments are quick and easy and can be performed during routine dental check-ups.
Sealants
Dental sealants are a protective coating applied to the grooves and pits of your molars, helping to prevent food and bacteria from getting trapped and causing decay. Sealants are a quick and effective way to protect your teeth, especially for children and teenagers who are more prone to cavities.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer is a serious disease that can be difficult to detect in its early stages. Our general dentist will perform regular oral cancer screenings during your dental exams, looking for any signs of oral cancer or precancerous conditions. Early detection is key to successful treatment, so don't hesitate to schedule a screening if you have concerns.
Sports Mouthguards
For athletes, it's important to protect your teeth from injury during sports and other physical activities. Our dental team can provide you with custom-fitted sports mouthguards designed to comfortably fit your teeth and provide optimal protection. Custom sports mouthguards lower your risk of oral injury significantly more than basic mouthguards purchased at stores. Custom mouthguards can even help prevent concussions.
Nightguards
If you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding), you may benefit from a custom-fitted nightguard. Nightguards help to protect your teeth from the damage caused by grinding and clenching, reducing your risk of developing dental problems and improving your overall oral health. They can also aid in preventing the side effects that come with TMJ/TMD, such as facial pain, neck pain, and headaches.
Tooth Extractions
In some cases, it may be necessary to remove a damaged or diseased tooth. Our experienced general dentist in Lugoff provides gentle and efficient tooth extractions, using the latest techniques and technology to minimize discomfort and promote faster healing.
