Dental Checkups & Cleanings
The American Dental Association, along with our dental team in Minneapolis, recommend visiting the dentist every six months for routine checkups and cleanings in order to maintain healthy teeth and gums. You’ll receive a thorough yet gentle professional cleaning from one of our skilled hygienists as well as an examination from Dr. Holger, Dr. Rochelle, or Dr. Kate, which will include an oral cancer screening. If any treatment is necessary, our dentists will share their recommendations with you and answer any questions you may have, as well as plan an at-home care routine with you.
Dental Sealants
At your routine checkup, one of our dentists in Minnetonka may recommend dental sealants to help keep cavities at bay. This non-invasive, quick, and completely painless treatment will seal off the grooves of your molars to prevent food and plaque from settling in them and causing decay to flourish. It’s an excellent supplement to your at-home and professional dental hygiene routines!
Nightguards for Bruxism
Do you wake up with a dull and thumping headache? Have you noticed that your teeth look ground-down and worn more than usual? These are two common signs that you’re grinding your teeth at night, a condition that’s also known as bruxism. To help protect your jaw muscles and teeth, we can craft customized nightguards in-house using our high-tech 3D printers, ensuring a perfect fit and faster process!
TMJ Treatment
Dr. Holger, Dr. Rochelle, and Dr. Kate regularly see patients struggling with TMJ disorder (TMJD), which is a condition that affects the function and comfort of your jaw joints and facial muscles. It can lead to a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, including teeth grinding (bruxism), popping and clicking of the jaw joints, and jaw fatigue that makes chewing difficult.
In addition to offering thorough examinations and diagnoses, our dental team also offers both short and long-term treatments so you can find relief. Depending on our team’s findings, we may recommend occlusal splints, equilibration, or BOTOX injections to help relieve tension and pressure in your jaw muscles.
