Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
Even if you keep up with your oral hygiene on a daily basis, you may miss some areas. Plaque can build up and harden in between teeth or along the gum line in particular. During your checkup and cleaning appointment, we remove this calcified plaque, giving you a fresh, new start. Also, Dr. Camenzuli performs a comprehensive oral exam in search of any cavities, gum disease, and other issues. By identifying these problems early on, we can provide conservative treatment and avoid damage or pain in the future.

Nightguards for Bruxism
Although unintentionally, some patients grind or clench their teeth while they sleep, a condition called bruxism. Unfortunately, this habit can wear down the enamel, which weakens teeth and makes cracks and fracturing more likely. In addition, bruxism can lead to chronic jaw pain or headaches. To treat this condition, our team can create a custom oral appliance that keeps the upper and lower teeth separated from each other and allows the jaw muscles to relax.
Oral Cancer Screenings
About half of the people who are diagnosed with oral cancer this year are expected to survive—not because it is particularly difficult to treat but because oral cancer is often found so late in development. When oral cancer is caught early on, the odds of survival increase significantly. At Camenzuli Dental Excellence, we include an oral cancer screening at every routine checkup appointment. In just a few minutes, we can examine your mouth for potentially cancerous cells and, in some cases, even save lives.
Periodontal Therapy
Do you have red or tender gums? Do they bleed when you brush your teeth? Do you struggle with chronic bad breath? You may have gum disease, an inflammatory condition in the gum tissue. If left untreated, gum disease can cause tooth loss and even contribute to serious medical problems. To get rid of the infection, we can perform scaling and root planing. In other words, we can clean deep into the gum tissue and clear out pockets of trapped plaque, and then we can make the tooth surfaces smooth for faster healing.

TMJ/TMD Therapy
Do you experience chronic jaw pain or headaches, particularly in the morning? Are your teeth showing signs of excessive wear?

Luckily, Dr. Camenzuli can diagnose and treat this condition with advanced adjustments and splints. These appliances put your teeth in a position that relaxes the jaw muscles and keeps the upper and lower teeth from touching.
