Our Digital Dental Radiograph Services

In most cases, periodontal gum disease can start below gum line, therefore our dental hygienists annually utilize digital radiographs to proactively catch and diagnose any related periodontal conditions in the early stages. Our detailed oral exams allow for the opportunity to take all necessary actions in disease prevention, oral health protection, and will be a financial benefit by saving your money on extensive treatment costs. Periapical, bitewing, and full-mouth digital radiographs provide your dentist with the pertinent information regarding oral conditions to further affirm their prescribed treatment plans and oral hygiene strategies. At Metro Smiles, we utilize digital radiographs to improve your oral health more proactively and effectively.

Advantages of Digital Radiographs Versus Outdated Radiographic Films:

Faster and Efficient

Highlights Specific Tooth Surfaces

Microscopic and Directional Zoom

Less Radiation Exposure

Occlusal Guards

Many people who struggle with teeth grinding could benefit from a custom occlusal guard offered by the Denver general dentistry practice of Dr. Robin Asbury of Metro Smiles, PC. She and her team offer occlusal guards which are designed to meet the needs of each patient.

You may be wondering what is an occlusal guard. It is a plastic device which will cover your teeth to help protect them from grinding and clenching damage. When you visit Dr. Robin, she will explain more about what an occlusal guard is and how it can benefit you.

Why You Need A Mouth Guard For Teeth Grinding

The image shows a man with short hair smiling at the camera. He appears to be indoors, possibly in an office environment, given the presence of blinds in the background.

Do you grind your teeth? Damage from teeth grinding may cause: chipped enamel, flattened, grooved, worn-down teeth, loosened teeth, cracked teeth, periodontal gum problems, and damage to bridges, fillings and dental implants. Tooth grinding refers to rhythmically and repetitively rubbing your teeth together. If you don’t wear a mouth guard for teeth grinding, you will eventually cause your teeth to fail. Grinding can also affect your jaws and change the appearance of your teeth and face. To avoid this, ask Dr. Asbury to make you a mouth guard for teeth grinding.

Get A Custom Night Guard For Overnight Protection

Many people grind their teeth unconsciously during sleep, wearing a custom night guard is a good solution for this. A dull headache or sore jaw upon waking is a sign that you’ve been grinding your teeth. However, a custom night guard created just by Dr. Robin Asbury at Metro Smiles can make all the difference and be worn at any time you are most likely to grind your teeth.

Why Is A Bruxism Guard Helpful?

The image shows a person with curly hair holding their head with one hand, while looking concerned or distressed.

Bruxism refers to constantly grinding, gnashing or clenching your teeth. Symptoms include flattened, chipped or loose teeth, pain or sensitivity, and signs of chewing the inside of your cheek. Without a bruxism guard, you may experience severe face and jaw pain, tension headaches, and damage to your teeth or crowns. If you want to avoid, permanent damage, get a bruxism guard. Consequences of grinding include a sore tired jaw, sensitive teeth, loose teeth, earaches, dull headaches, neck aches, and clicking sounds when you open your mouth.

Preventive Care FAQs

What is preventive dental care and why is it important?

Preventive dental care includes all the steps you and your dentist take to keep your teeth and gums healthy and avoid future oral health issues. Regular cleanings, exams, fluoride treatments, and good daily hygiene help detect problems early, saving you from more extensive (and expensive) treatments later.

How often should I schedule dental cleanings and checkups?

Most patients should visit the dentist every six months for routine cleanings and exams. However, those with gum disease, high cavity risk, or other dental conditions may need more frequent visits. Your Metro Smiles team will recommend a personalized schedule for your care.

What are fluoride treatments and do I need them?

Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent cavities. They’re especially beneficial for children, patients with dry mouth, or anyone prone to decay. These quick, painless treatments are often part of a preventive care plan during routine visits.

Can preventive care really stop dental problems from developing?

Yes. Preventive care is the first line of defense against cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and oral infections. By catching issues early or avoiding them altogether, you reduce your chances of needing fillings, root canals, or tooth extractions in the future.

What role does at-home care play in preventive dentistry?

At-home habits are essential. Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash all contribute to healthy teeth and gums. Preventive care at Metro Smiles complements your routine to ensure long-term oral health.
