PREVENTIVE CARE
& DENTAL CLEANINGS
At McLean Dental we offer the very best preventive care and dental cleanings in Eastern Oregon because we invest in advanced technologies that keep you healthy in between appointments.
We use 3D digital x-rays, intraoral cameras, digital cavity detection, and intraoral scanners to spot potential issues before they get the chance to become problems.
We offer the following preventive care services
Professional Teeth Cleanings (Prophylaxis)
The periodontium (gums and surrounding bone) provides the basis for healthy teeth. We closely examine the health of the tissue around each tooth and determine the maintenance interval that is specific to you to keep your gums in optimal health. We will also provide you with a thorough cleaning.
Nightguards
for TMJ Pain
If you grind your teeth while you sleep, you could be suffering from migraines, earaches, and even malocclusion. Our team fabricates custom nightguards to stop the grinding and keep your teeth intact and healthy. As you use the nightguard, our team will continue to monitor your bite to ensure that no orthodontic problems arise in the future.
Mouthguards For Athletics
Do you or your child frequently play sports? Whether you participate in softball on the odd weekend or you are a competitive cyclist, it's important that you take care of your teeth while you're winning medals! We make custom mouthguards that are comfortable and designed to protect the teeth from potential damage. Even better, they reduce the risk of concussions, too!
