Preventive Dentistry Mission Viejo
The Best Dental Care Preserves What You Have
According to researchers, an average of 90% of adults will develop a cavity at some point in their lives; however, through prevention, these formations can be caught early, reducing the potential need for restorative care. Dental decay is not the only serious oral health problem patients face, though. Gum disease affects nearly 40% of adults in the U.S. who are 30 years and older. At the dental office of Dr. Chanelle Sy, we can use preventive solutions to detect the earliest signs of these diseases and more readily protect patient smiles year-round. If you are ready to take a proactive approach to your oral health, call our office to schedule an appointment today.

Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Dental plaque and tartar are known to cause cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and more. While at-home brushing, flossing, and rinsing can help minimize build-up, regular dental checkups and cleanings every six months are necessary for better oral and overall health. Dr. Sy and our team will use advanced technologies to identify early signs of decay, damage, and disease before building a treatment plan and giving your smile the care it needs to remain healthy between appointments.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Bruxism (teeth grinding) occurs when a person is asleep and can affect people of all ages. Stress, bite misalignment, and certain medications are common contributors, but a custom-made nightguard can minimize the risk of enamel erosion and jaw pain. We will take digital impressions of your teeth to create a comfortable and snug-fitting nightguard that goes over the upper arch, preventing the top and bottom rows of teeth from touching. This will make it possible to wake up each day well-rested and free of pain.
