General Dentistry
Services

At Huntington Bay Dental, maintaining a healthy mouth begins with exceptional preventive care. We’re dedicated to keeping you smiling through comprehensive general dentistry services. Every oral exam includes a thorough head and neck screening to detect any abnormalities early, such as head and neck cancers. We utilize intraoral photos to track changes over time, alongside advanced diagnostic tools like digital x-rays, panoramic x-rays, and 3D scans. Our extensive treatment options cover TMJ issues, sleep apnea, periodontal problems, cavities, root canals, crowns, and bridges.

While daily brushing and flossing are essential, professional dental cleanings and exams are equally vital for maintaining optimal oral health. We recommend routine cleanings and exams, tailored to your specific needs. Our goal is to prevent issues like decay, gum disease, and infections by catching them early. At Huntington Bay Dental, your cleaning will include personalized recommendations for further preventive or restorative care. Ask about our gentle Air-Flow Polishing for removing biofilm and stains.

Thanks to advances in digital radiology, we can safely and efficiently x-ray our patients with significantly reduced radiation exposure—up to 80% less than traditional methods. Digital sensors replace film, allowing us to capture images quickly and without hazardous waste. Within seconds, your x-rays are ready for review, ensuring a smooth and convenient experience.

At Huntington Bay Dental, we pride ourselves on using cutting-edge Cone-Beam 3D imaging technology. This low-dose, highly diagnostic tool is essential for various procedures, especially implant dentistry. Unlike many practices that refer patients to medical imaging centers, we provide in-house 3D imaging at an affordable cost. Our expert team uses these scans for precise implant planning and to diagnose issues that regular x-rays might miss.

Fluoride is a powerful tool in preventing cavities for both children and adults. It strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay, and can also reduce sensitivity. Available in toothpastes and as a varnish, fluoride treatments are tailored to those at higher risk of cavities. We can also prescribe special fluoride toothpastes and rinses for added protection.

To further protect against cavities, we offer sealants that act as barriers against harmful bacteria. Applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, sealants make these areas easier to clean and less prone to decay. Made from tooth-colored composite resin, sealants are nearly invisible and often recommended for children, teens, and even adults.

We recommend brushing and flossing at least twice a day to maintain optimal oral health. For the best results, brush for two minutes each time, use mouth rinses, and follow a tooth-friendly diet. Electric toothbrushes can enhance your cleaning routine, and our hygienists are always ready to help you perfect your technique.

At Huntington Bay Dental, we offer effective treatments for snoring and sleep apnea. Our oral dental appliances can reduce or eliminate these disruptive and potentially harmful conditions. By working closely with your medical team, we ensure a comprehensive approach to your sleep health. The mandibular advancement devices we provide are comfortable alternatives to CPAP therapy, moving the lower jaw forward to keep your airway open and promote sound sleep.
