Professional Dental Cleanings
KEEPING YOUR SMILE BRIGHT AND HEALTHY
Regular professional dental cleanings are essential to remove harmful bacteria and reduce your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. When you visit Johnson Dental, your experienced dental hygienist will remove built-up plaque and tartar from your teeth with special instruments. Our hygienists can get to areas that are easily missed at home by regular brushing and flossing. We recommend you have a professional dental cleaning at least every six months.
Periodontal Therapy
RESTORING YOUR GUM HEALTH
Maintaining healthy gums is important for your overall health. If our team detects any signs of periodontal disease, such as inflammation, bleeding, or bone loss, we will recommend an appropriate periodontal treatment plan. This may involve scaling and root planing or more advanced treatments. With personalized care, our Johnson Dental team can help you stop the adverse effects of gum disease so you can regain a healthy smile.
Oral Cancer Screenings
PRIORITIZING YOUR LONG-TERM HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
At each of your routine dental visits, we conduct a thorough oral cancer screening to detect any abnormalities or concerning changes. We use visualization and gentle palpation techniques to carefully inspect the inside of your mouth. Early detection is crucial when it comes to oral cancer. These screenings allow us to identify any potential issues early so you can receive treatment quickly.

Fluoride Varnish
STRENGTHENS YOUR ENAMEL TO PREVENT CAVITIES
Fluoride varnish is a highly effective preventive dental treatment that helps protect your enamel and prevent future decay. We will carefully apply the fluoride varnish to the surfaces of your teeth to form a protective barrier. This makes your smile more resistant to cavities. Fluoride varnish is applied efficiently and comfortably during your dental hygiene visit.
Dental Sealants
PROTECT YOUR TEETH FROM DECAY
Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings applied to the molars to create a barrier against bacteria and food particles that can lead to tooth decay. They are a durable preventive treatment, providing long-lasting smile protection. Sealants are particularly useful for children and teenagers, whose molars are more susceptible to decay as they learn to develop good oral hygiene routines.
Dental Crowns
ADDITIONAL STRENGTH AND STABILITY FOR YOUR TEETH
At Johnson Dental, we can create dental crowns made of porcelain, zirconia, or e.max. These are high-quality materials that provide long-lasting results. We also offer the convenience of CEREC single-visit crowns, thanks to our advanced digital impression technology and in-house milling capabilities. Our team uses digital impressions to design, make, and place your crown all in one appointment.
Airway and Sleep Health
Dental providers play a crucial role in detecting airway problems. They are often the first health professional to identify airway dysfunction because of the signs observed in the mouth. Many dental problems such as clenching, tooth grinding, and TMJ pain are are directly related to a restricted airway. Treating these dental issues can also improve airway and sleep quality, leading to an improved quality of life and decreased risk of various systemic diseases such as depression, anxiety, heart attack, and stroke.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
Cone Beam Computed Tomography, or CBCT, is an extra-oral imaging device that uses a rotating cone-shaped x-ray beam to create a 3D view of the inner anatomy of your lower face to evaluate bone structure, tooth position, soft tissues, and nerve pathways in detail. CBCT scans have several clinical applications, including: TMJ and orthodontic evaluation, dental implant planning, airway examination, detection of dental tumors, and more. CBCT allows you to have the most accurate diagnostic information available.
Custom-Made Oral Appliances
NIGHTGUARDS, MOUTH GUARDS, AND RETAINERS
Custom-made oral appliances can address a range of dental health concerns. At Johnson Dental, we can fabricate:
- Nightguards to protect against teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Mouth guards to safeguard your teeth from sports injuries
- Retainers to keep teeth from shifting after orthodontic treatment
To ensure your oral appliance fits properly, we use digital impressions. This technology allows us to take a precise 3D model of your teeth and mouth so your custom-made appliance is as comfortable as possible.
