Family DENTISTRY
WHAT IS MINIMALLY INVASIVE DENTISTRY?
Dr. Mitesh Jivan’s aim with preventive and minimally invasive dentistry, is to do the least amount of ‘work’ on the tooth as possible, while maximizing it’s longevity. The best way to stay healthy is to take care of problems when they’re small or before they get a chance to arise. That is why Dr. Mitesh Jivan always performs thorough exams, with high magnification to catch problems at the earliest stages. A focus on meticulous hygiene visits also assures gum inflammation is kept to a minimum.
COMPREHENSIVE EXAMS
The foundation of our practice is a comprehensive and complete approach to care. A comprehensive examination is the first step in establishing where we are in terms of oral health. An examination of the jaw joint, skin and gum tissue on the face and mouth, muscles of the face and mastication, and airway space is where we begin. Photographs and x-rays of the teeth is the next step. These images give us information about the health of teeth, bone, and gums. The final part of the exam is an analysis of each tooth sequentially.
This purpose of this exam is to give us a benchmark of where we are. Once we know where we are beginning, our plan going forward reflects your values and goals.
ORAL CANCER SCREENING
One of the most aggressive forms of cancer can start in your mouth, and early detection makes a huge difference. Our team is committed to treating our patient’s like family. That is why as part of our routine, everyday standard, we perform oral cancer screenings. Our process involves checking the face, lips, cheeks, tongue, palate, and all the tissues that we regularly treat.
PERIODONTAL THERAPY
Periodontal disease, otherwise known as gum disease, is a chronic condition that directly effects bone and gum tissues supporting teeth. Studies have also linked periodontal disease to speed up and worsen other chronic conditions like Alzheimer’s and heart disease.
We offer treatments to address this chronic condition as well as to maintenance procedures. Deep scalings are performed utilizing piezo instruments that work powerfully and comfortably.
THOROUGH DENTAL CLEANINGS
Hygiene visits are one of the most critical aspect of dental care. The foundation of teeth, implants, and partial dentures critically rely on the healthy relationship between the gums and teeth.
Dr. Mitesh Jivan customizes your dental hygiene visits by Intentional evaluation of your current state. By recording pocket depths and monitoring problem areas, we can customize the most effective treatments just for you.
Our hygienists use the latest technology to make hygiene visits as comfortable as possible.
DENTAL TECHNOLOGY
Keeping up with the latest and best in class technologies is a staple at Advanced Park Dental. We utilize technologies to make visits more comfortable, more efficient, and safer. Comfort amenities such as headphones, entertainment monitors, and nitrous gas keep you relaxed while we work.
PEDIATRIC CARE
We love taking care of children, and start seeing them as early as 6 months of age. An early start means we have opportunities to coach parents and kids for life-long healthy habits. Early visits start as “play dates” and they evolve as we build a relationship with your child.
Our goal with children is to start them off strong so they don’t ever need extensive treatment.
VARNISH
Dental varnishes help protect teeth by making the surface stronger. Varnishes are a coating that is applied to the tooth surface once bacteria and tartar are removed from the tooth. After polishing your teeth at the end of a hygiene visit, this coating is applied. The advantages of a dental varnish is it makes the tooth less vulnerable to cavities and also helps minimize sensitivity.
