At Refine Dental, we make it our mission to help you maintain strong teeth and healthy gums through regular checkups, professional cleanings, and personalized preventive care.

We believe that great dental health should be simple and stress-free. That's why our friendly team takes the time to get to know each family member personally, creating a comfortable, welcoming environment where even the littlest patients feel at ease.

The Refine Dental Initial Comprehensive Dental Examination

What makes our initial visit stand out?

To begin with, the doctors book 1.5 hours with all our new patients. Here at Refine Dental, it’s all about the relationships we form with you- our patients. We want to get to know you. We want to hear, and understand your concerns, needs, goals, questions, and any apprehensions you have. It is during this visit, that we also educate our patients on different dental procedures available or clarify any dental questions you might have that will further pinpoint what you're actually looking for.  As doctors, we cannot effectively accomplish any of these goals if we are rushed or haven't been allotted the appropriate amount of time.

Consultation versus Comprehensive Examination

The difference between a consultation and a comprehensive examination lies in the amount of data the dentist has at their disposal to make an accurate assessment of your dental concerns. While we do perform dental consultations and second opinion appointments, we always inform our patients that the opinions rendered are derived only from a cursory preview of your dental condition and may not hold true when all the facts have been gathered.

A comprehensive examination, on the other hand, allows the dentist to gather all the necessary patient and dental data thus resulting in an accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and options for your successful dental treatment. Also, in terms of financial considerations, we find our patients don't want to pay twice for something that can easily be done for the price of one.

Preventive Treatment Options

  • Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings

    Professional cleanings and examinations are the cornerstone of preventive dental care and should be done every six months. During these visits, our dental team will examine your mouth for any issues that may need intervention, thoroughly remove plaque and tartar buildup, and ensure your smile is just as it should be.
    A good brushing and flossing routine goes a long way! Just make sure to combine it with regular cleanings, as each cleaning includes professional polishing to remove surface stains and create a smooth surface that resists bacteria buildup.

  • TMJ Therapy

    For patients experiencing jaw pain, headaches, or clicking sounds when chewing, our TMJ therapy services are the best path to relief. We evaluate your jaw joint function, identify the cause of your discomfort, and develop a personalized treatment plan that may include custom-fitted appliances, exercises, and lifestyle modifications.

  • Oral Cancer Screening

    Early detection is crucial for successful treatment of oral cancer. We perform comprehensive examinations of your mouth, throat, and neck areas to identify any concerning changes in soft tissues. This painless screening is an essential part of every preventive visit.

  • Night and Sports Guards

    We create custom-fitted protective guards to prevent damage from teeth grinding during sleep and sports activities. Night guards help protect against wear from grinding and clenching, while sports guards provide essential protection during athletic activities. Each guard is precisely crafted for optimal comfort and protection.

  • Digital X-rays

    Our advanced digital X-ray technology provides detailed images of your teeth and jaw while using up to 90% less radiation than traditional X-rays. These images help us detect cavities between teeth, check bone levels, examine roots, and spot potential problems before they become visible to the naked eye.

  • Fluoride Treatments

    Professional fluoride treatments provide an extra layer of protection for your tooth enamel. This simple, painless procedure in which we use a paintbrush to apply fluoride varnish helps strengthen teeth against decay, helps remineralize early signs of cavities, and protects sensitive root surfaces. It's particularly beneficial for children and teens during their cavity-prone years, though adults can benefit as well.

  • Dental Sealants

    Dental sealants are protective coatings applied to the deep grooves of back teeth where decay often starts. These thin, plastic coatings act as a shield against cavity-causing bacteria and food particles. Sealants can protect teeth for up to 10 years and are especially recommended for children as soon as their permanent molars emerge.

  • iTero Digital Scanning

    Our advanced iTero scanner creates precise 3D images of your mouth, revolutionizing how we monitor your oral health. This cutting-edge technology allows us to track changes over time, detect potential issues early, and plan treatments with incredible accuracy. The iTero scanner makes dental visits more comfortable and efficient while providing immediate visual feedback about your oral health status

Refine Reminder

Your dentist can spot a tiny cavity years before it causes any pain. Catch it early and skip the pain down the road!
