Your Systemic Health is Connected to Your Oral Health

Your oral health is deeply connected to your overall well-being. Research has shown strong links between gum disease and systemic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and dementia. That’s why we take a comprehensive, preventive approach—not just treating teeth, but helping you achieve better health from head to toe. Using advanced bacterial testing, we analyze your oral microbiome to detect hidden risks and create a personalized treatment plan to keep your mouth and body healthy.

Our Treatments

Dental Cleanings & Exams

Regular dental cleanings and exams are essential for a healthy, cavity-free smile. During your visit, our skilled hygienists remove plaque and tartar buildup, polish your teeth, and assess your gum health. Our comprehensive exams include digital x-rays, bite evaluations, and a detailed check for early signs of decay or disease. By catching small issues early, we help you avoid costly and invasive treatments down the road.

Periodontal Care

Healthy gums are the foundation of a strong smile. If you experience bleeding, swelling, or gum recession, our periodontal care services can help. We offer deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) and personalized treatment plans to combat gum disease and restore oral health. Left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss and systemic health issues, but with early intervention, we can protect your smile and overall well-being.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Early detection saves lives. Our oral cancer screenings are a fast, painless way to identify potential warning signs before they become serious. Using advanced screening techniques, our dentists check for abnormalities in the gums, tongue, and soft tissues. Regular screenings, especially for patients who use tobacco or have a family history of oral cancer, can provide peace of mind and early intervention when needed.

Night Guards

If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn teeth, you may be grinding your teeth at night—a condition known as bruxism. Our custom-fit night guards help protect your teeth from damage and relieve jaw tension, preventing long-term complications like TMJ disorders and enamel erosion. A comfortable, professionally made night guard can make a huge difference in your daily comfort and long-term oral health.

Robert

"This office always does a stellar job with white glove, 5 star service. The staff is always warm and inviting while maintaining the benchmark for excellence in professionalism. When was the last time you had your doctor or dentist/oral surgeon call you personally following a procedure? Dr. Garcia personally follows up each time a major procedure takes place to check on the well being and recovery. I refer all of my friends, family and associates to Kremers and Forbes."

Walter

"This place is amazing. I don't say that about a lot of dentists. We needed a new dentist, current was was mediocre at best. Got a referral from my client. I am so happy I did! They have the tools most dentists don't, so they don't have to send you out and cost you a ton of money to have procedures done. My mind is blown AGAIN w/these professionals. I hope to NEVER have to switch dentists again. Did I tell you...I hate going to dentists? I can't wait for my next visit!"

Nicki

"I absolutely love this dental practice and all the team members. The atmosphere is very professional but also warm and friendly.

Dr. Forbes does a wonderful job of making me feel comfortable while having dental procedures. I’ve never had a dentist explain what they are doing in such an understandable manner and also show my issue on a large screen.

I would highly recommend this dental practice."

FAQs

Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health to prevent diseases and complications. It includes regular check-ups, cleanings, and patient education. By prioritizing preventive care, you can avoid costly treatments in the future.

Your mouth is the gateway to your body, and poor oral health has been linked to serious systemic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and even dementia. Gum disease can contribute to chronic inflammation, making it harder for your body to fight infections and regulate blood sugar. That’s why we take a comprehensive approach, using bacterial mapping and personalized treatment plans to protect both your oral and overall health.

We recommend visiting us every six months for a professional cleaning and comprehensive exam. However, if you have gum disease or other oral health concerns, we may recommend more frequent visits to ensure your smile stays healthy.

Early signs include bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and gum sensitivity. As it progresses, you may experience gum recession, loose teeth, or discomfort while eating. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment as soon as possible—we can help prevent further damage.

Call us immediately. We offer same-day emergency appointments and, in some cases, after-hours care for existing patients. Whether you have severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, or a broken restoration, we’re here to help.
