- Dental ExaminationWe at Grove Avenue Family & Cosmetic Dentistry educate our patients on these facts and take your overall health seriously. Through blood pressure monitoring, oral cancer screening, dental exams, and dental care we take care of our patients. We know that starting a dental care relationship with a dentist and hygienist can sometimes be overwhelming, but we are here to help you navigate and create a healthy dental plan. We offer sedation options for your comfort and take the time to talk and listen to you. Developing a strong relationship with our patients leads to trust and ultimately a comfortable dental appointment.
- X-raysAlthough we are not a party to the contractual arrangement with your insurance company, we do want to help you receive the maximum reimbursement to which you are entitled. As a convenience to you, we will help you process your insurance claims in order for you to receive this maximum benefit. We will also gladly provide dental x-rays and a written diagnostic report should your insurance company have any questions about the services provided.
- Oral Cancer ScreeningToday, a visit to your dentist will include a detailed medical history, evaluation of your blood pressure, and cancer screening. We are often asked, “Is all this necessary?” And the answer is YES! No longer are we just looking at your teeth and gum tissue because we now know that what we learn from the mouth can tell us so much more about you.
- Teeth CleaningBlood pressure and medical history updates are also an important way we evaluate overall health. Elevated blood pressure could just be due to anxiety or stress, but some elevated pressure readings indicate a larger cadiovascular issue. A dental cleaning appointment may just save your life.

- CrownsBrushing twice a day and flossing daily is an important part of good oral hygiene, but it is that visit to the dentist for a “checkup” that allows us to identify dental and sometimes medical issues that can have long term consequences. Regardless of how well you brush and floss, plaque and calculus will build up on the surfaces of the teeth and tongue. Plaque is a sticky biofilm of bacteria and often starts to build up only a few hours after brushing your teeth. Calculus or tartar is a hardened plaque, and presents as a chalky substance made up of calcium phosphate mineral salts deposited between formerly viable microorganisms. It adheres to the tooth crown and root. This can only be removed by a trained dental professional. If this plaque and calculus is not removed, the gum tissue close to it becomes irritated, red and puffy. This is called gingivitis. As time goes on, this continued build up leads to bone loss around the tooth root. Without adequate bone, teeth can become loose. This is what we call periodontal disease, and it is hard to correct once it has become chronic.
