ORAL HYGIENE & DENTAL EXAMS
Though daily brushing and flossing keep your teeth in good shape, even the best of us miss spots. When you visit Soundbridge Dental Arts in Gig Harbor, your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned to make sure all areas are clear of plaque and tartar. This cleaning keeps bacteria from destroying your teeth so you can be confident when you smile.
During exams, we check for cavities, gum disease, and other dental health issues. Many of these problems can progress to be more serious, which can require more complex procedures if they’re not treated early.
To protect your oral health, we also offer oral cancer screenings during your routine dental visits. Catching a life-threatening disease while it’s easier to treat could save your life.
To make sure we’re keeping your smile healthy, our dental office is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and materials. We use digital x-rays for increased analysis of your oral health. Additionally, Dr. Bloomquist attends continuing education courses to stay on top of the latest dental techniques and treatments.
CAVITIES & ROOT CANAL THERAPY
Spots you miss while brushing and flossing may develop into tooth decay. Decay is caused by bacteria that feed on plaque and tartar, eating away at the enamel and eventually leaving a hole, also called a cavity. A small cavity found early on can be filled easily at your dental visits with a sealant. If left untreated, tooth decay can develop through the tooth until it reaches the root canal. This is where the pulp of the tooth is and contains sensitive tissues. If these tissues become infected, root canal therapy is required to save your natural tooth. At the Soundbridge Center for Dental Arts, we want you to be happy with your smile. That’s why we use tooth-colored materials to restore your smile when we place your fillings, crowns, and implants.
PERIODONTICS
Also known as gum disease, periodontics can be discovered during your dental exam by one of our hygienists. Gum disease occurs when plaque and tartar build-up along the gums over a long period of time and eventually infects and attacks your teeth and bone. Our team can help reverse the disease at its earliest stages and attend to the affected areas with proper treatments.
We offer a variety of gum disease solutions for every stage and severity of the condition.
