Preserve Your Natural Smile Through Preventive Care
Our philosophy is simple: catch small issues before they become major concerns. That’s why our team takes a comprehensive approach to your care. You’ll benefit from our use of advanced imaging technology, such as CBCT scans and intraoral cameras. It will help us spot potential problems in advance. Plus, you can trust the results of your treatment. Dr. Zhitnitsky has decades of experience helping patients maintain healthy smiles throughout their lives. He can do the same for you.
Your preventive care options include:
- Dental Cleanings and Exams – Regular professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, while thorough exams catch potential issues early on. These services help keep your smile healthy and bright.
Dry Mouth Care – If you’re dealing with persistent dry mouth, your dentist can identify the cause and recommend solutions to restore your comfort and protect your oral health. He will also determine if it’s potentially connected to sleep apnea, as that is one of the symptoms of the disorder. - Fresh Breath Treatment – If you have chronic bad breath, we will determine what’s causing the problem. Since it can often indicate an underyling infection, your dentist will create a plan to address the source, not just mask the symptoms.
- Gum Disease Solutions – Protect your gums with gentle, effective treatment that removes harmful bacteria and helps prevent future problems. Your dentist can also use a safe and gentle laser to address more serious conditions.
- Custom Mouthguards – Get a properly fitted guard to protect your teeth during sports or from nighttime grinding. These custom guards offer better protection than store-bought options.
Your comfort matters here. Our team will take time to walk you through each step of your procedure. Your dentist will explain what to expect and why he recommends specific treatments. You can make yourself at home with our cozy blankets and pillows. You can also watch TV during your appointment.
Feeling anxious? While checkups usually have little to no discomfort involved, you can choose from our gentle sedation options if you’d like. It’s important to us that you feel at ease during your procedure.

Common Questions About General Dentistry
General dentistry is what we do here. We feature general dentistry solutions that will help keep your mouth healthy and your smile looking its best all through your life. This includes thorough examinations to screen for problems and to assess your teeth, gums, and mouth in general. General dentistry also includes protective measures like dental sealants and teeth cleanings to prevent dangerous plaque, tartar, and bacteria from causing disease, decay, and worse.
Brushing with a toothpaste that contains fluoride at least two times a day is essential in preventing cavities, as is daily flossing. Limiting the amount of sugary or highly acidic foods in your diet is also helpful. If you’re unable to brush after meals, rinsing out your mouth with water is a good way to help wash away the food debris and bacteria that cause cavities. Ask your dental team about fluoride and sealants, two treatments that can make your teeth less cavity-prone.
We may recommend dental X-rays to ensure comprehensive oral care. With advancements in technology, digital X-rays are now widely used, offering enhanced safety. They use significantly less radiation compared to traditional X-rays, making them a safer option. Digital X-rays provide detailed images for accurate diagnoses, helping us identify potential issues early on.
