Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer screenings are an important part of every routine dental checkup. During your exam, we carefully evaluate the soft and hard tissues of the mouth, including the lips, gums, tongue, cheeks, and roof of the mouth. We look for any unusual changes in texture, color, or tissue health so that potential concerns can be identified as early as possible. Regular screenings help support early detection and give you added peace of mind during your visits.
Periodontal Treatment (Deep Cleaning)
Healthy gums are essential to a healthy smile. If signs of gum disease are present, periodontal treatment, also known as scaling and root planing, may be recommended. This deep cleaning treatment removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces to help the gums heal and reattach more effectively. When needed, local anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Our team will also provide guidance on brushing, flossing, and ongoing periodontal maintenance to help protect your gum health between visits.
Teledentistry
For added convenience, Highland Family Dentistry also offers teledentistry appointments. Virtual visits can be a helpful option when you need to speak with a dentist from home, discuss symptoms, or determine the next steps for your care. Our team is here to make the process simple and accessible, whether you are a new or existing patient. To schedule a teledentistry appointment, you can complete your online patient forms, request an appointment through our website, or call our office directly. We will follow up with confirmation details and any instructions you may need before your visit.
