General Dentistry
Our Associate Dentist, Dr. Kristina DeVellis performs a full scope of general dentistry such as comprehensive exams, restorative dentistry, crowns/bridges, veneers, uncomplicated extractions, orthodontic retainers, and fabrication of night guards.
Dental Assessments and Periodontal Assessments
When welcoming a new client to the office a complete dental examination is performed to evaluate their
teeth and
gums to determine the current condition of their oral health. This will also allow the dental professional to
identify any
areas of concern. The dental exam includes a thorough review of the client's medical, dental and
personal
histories along with an oral cancer screening and customized dental treatment plan.
Dental and Periodontal Examination
A full comprehensive extra-oral and intra-oral examination is performed during all dental cleaning
appointments. During this assessment the dental professional will evaluate the hard and soft tissues, checking for
any suspicious areas of dental decay, gingivitis/periodontal disease and oral cancer.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer is known for being one of the worst cancers as it is late diagnosed. At The Meticulous Smile, an
oral cancer screening is performed at every visit.
Teeth Cleaning
Dental cleanings or scaling of the teeth is the removal of hard and soft deposits that build up on the teeth,
(above and below the gums) which cannot be removed by brushing nor by flossing. If calculus, also known as
'tartar' is present for too long it will then cause inflammations of the gums, resulting in red, swollen
gingival tissues.

Sealants

These grooves make it hard to properly brush, itโs hard to get right into those grooves to remove sugar, food, debris from sitting there causing a cavity. When we see very groovy teeth, we recommend sealants. Itโs a very easy and quick procedureโ
