Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings

Dental checkups and cleanings every six months at Tylan Creek Family Dentistry are essential to keep smiles healthy. During every dental checkup, we carefully examine the visible portions of smiles and the underlying supportive structures. This includes a combination of visual and tactile examination and diagnostic x-rays. The thorough examinations are used to screen for common oral health issues including tooth decay, gum disease, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism), and oral cancer. Following your examination, one of our hygienists will carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces of teeth, and make recommendations for at-home hygiene products and care techniques. Finally, you’ll sit down face-to-face with one of our skilled dentists, to discuss the results of your examination. We’re happy to answer questions you have throughout your appointment, but it may be easiest to ask at this point. Then, we’ll partner with you to create an ongoing treatment plan to ensure your optimal oral health.

Dental Sealants

Sealants are thin coats of resin that cover teeth preventing tooth decay or damage by preventing plaque and tartar from weakening the tooth enamel. We frequently recommend dental sealants as a preventive care technique for children, but adults may also want to receive a sealant application if they experience regular tooth decay. We can apply sealants as part of any six month dental checkup. We simply coat teeth with the liquid sealant that fills in biting surfaces, and once in place, we use our curing light to harden the sealants on to teeth.

X-ray of smile in need of TMJ treatment TMJ & Bruxism Therapy

TMJ dysfunction (TMD) and bruxism have a variety of causes and may present any number of resulting side effects. However, these two seemingly different oral health concerns have one thing in common – treatment with custom-crafted mouthguards from our team. These nighttime mouthguards offer patients with TMD relief by repositioning the jaw in the ideal alignment, during sleep. This limits unconscious motion and relieves strain on the jaw joints. Damage from nighttime teeth grinding and clenching, bruxism, is also prevented using nightguards due to the physical barrier between rows of teeth that prevents unconscious wear.

Dental team member performing oral cancer screening Oral Cancer Screening

Many of the patients we treat in our Simpsonville dental office believe that only people who smoke or chew tobacco will be diagnosed with oral cancer. Unfortunately, this is not correct. As much as 30% of those diagnosed don’t participate in any high risk activities at all. That’s why we include oral cancer screenings as part of every six month dental checkup for all patients. It’s our goal to help patients by diagnosing oral cancer in the earliest stages, when treatments may be effective in reversing the damage. According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, early diagnosis is the best way to reduce the number of annual deaths attributed to oral cancer, and it’s our hope that screenings at our dental office every six months will help our patients avoid becoming oral cancer statistics.

Dentist providing periodontal therapy to patient Periodontal Therapy

Periodontal disease is one of the most common oral health concerns among US adults, but with early diagnosis, treatment can be as simple as more frequent professional cleanings. Unfortunately, the warning signs of mild gum disease, called gingivitis, are very subtle and often go unnoticed by patients. That’s why we screen for signs of this common disease at every dental checkup. If gum disease is able to progress to the more advanced state, periodontitis, we may need to use more complex treatments including scaling, the removal of plaque and tartar, and root planing, the smoothing of roots to remove build-up beneath the gums and prevent future buildup.
