Regular dental visits are really important for a number of reasons. One, everybody has buildup. No matter how well you brush your teeth, myself included, you’re going to get buildup on the teeth of what is commonly known as tartar, okay, which is plaque that becomes calcified and depending on the makeup of your saliva, your drinking water, for some people it builds up really quickly, but everybody gets buildup.
If it’s left on the teeth for a long time, it can start to cause problems with the gums and it can lead to more advanced gum disease known as periodontal disease. Cavities can form fairly quickly and so a visit to your dentist every six months where you’re having things looked at, you’re going to catch things when they’re smaller and if we can address things when they’re small, you lose less tooth structure which equals your tooth being able to be viable and stay in your mouth for a lot longer.

J. B. (Verified Patient)
The tooth extraction went very well. The dentist provided a pain free experience. However when I called the week before and explained to the secretary it was an emergency, I had an abcessed tooth, had no medicine or antibiotic and could I speak to the dentist or get a call back, she did not pass on the message. I had to go to a walk in clinic and wait with the place filled with very sick people to get an antibiotic. My normally low blood pressure was 147 over whatever. The dentist said she would have called back. Other than that it is always a pleasant place.
N. N. (Verified Patient)
Very caring and supporting staff. The Dr. I saw was very thorough in explaining my tmj pain, and how we are going to treat it. She spent a lot of time with me on my first visit which doesn’t normally happen when I go to anyone else. I highly recommend their office.

I cannot recommend this dental office enough! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by how incredibly clean and well maintained the facility is. It immediately put me at ease. Every single member of the staff, from the receptionists to the hygienist and the dentists themselves, was exceptionally knowledgeable and genuinely nice. They went above and beyond to make me feel valued. What truly sets this office apart is their commitment to clear communication. Every procedure was explained in detail, thoroughly addressing my questions and concerns. They are great with kids as well so I don’t have to worry about my kids being scared at the dentist office. If you’re looking for a dental practice that combines top notch professionalism, with a warm caring atmosphere, look no further! I recommend the office and specially Jen the hygienist 😃

Dr. Laurie was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She took her time doing a very thorough initial exam and explained why she was doing the exams she was doing. The staff was very helpful and friendly as I am a brand new patient coming from a previous dental practice that our family of 5 belonged to for 20 years. We will all be joining Guilford Hills Dental Care in the coming months.

J. L. (Verified Patient)
I was not able to get to my appointment on Tuesday due to the snow. I called early in the morning to let your office know. I asked for a call back to reschedule, which I have not received. I would prefer an afternoon appointment with Jen. I have been seeing Jen for many years. I have to ask for all appointments in the afternoon, due to the Lasix I must take first thing in the morning, and I need to be in my own home near my bathroom. Thank you.

For most of our patients, a dental exam and cleaning will take about an hour. We’ll begin by asking you about any problems and possibly taking a set of X-rays. Your dental hygienist will then look over your mouth and perform a thorough teeth cleaning. Finally, your dentist will perform a complete dental exam and make any recommendations needed for a healthy smile.
Putting off dental appointments until you are in pain can lead to a serious oral health issue. Plus, not all dental problems show painful symptoms until they are in the advanced stages. Regular dental checkups give you the advantage of having a dental professional examine your mouth. Detecting oral health concerns in their early stages means less expensive and less invasive treatments.
An ultrasonic cleaning is a method used to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth using high-frequency vibrations. Your dentist or dental hygienist uses a handheld device that emits ultrasonic waves and directs a fine stream of water onto your teeth. The vibrations generated by the device help break down and dislodge deposits on the teeth. Ultrasonic cleanings are efficient, effective, and often more comfortable than traditional scaling and polishing methods.
