Partnering for Optimum Oral Health

In order to help you achieve and maintain optimum oral health, we make every effort to schedule appointments for your convenience. In return, we ask your cooperation in committing to timely treatment.

Preventive maintenance appointments with our licensed dental hygienists are scheduled not just to clean your teeth, but to help control periodontal (gum) disease. Periodontal disease is a progressive, degenerative infection caused by bacteria. Although it cannot be totally cured, it can be controlled. Your preventive maintenance appointment, when supplemented by excellent home care on your part, will help you maintain your oral health and prevent tooth and bone loss. In addition, there is a growing body of scientific evidence suggesting links between periodontal disease and other systemic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and stroke.

A Holistic Approach

We firmly believe that oral health is connected to the overall health of the individual. Therefore, at Ellsworth & Day our approach to dentistry includes:

Cutting Edge Technology

We strongly believe in giving our patients as much information as possible when discussing preventive and restorative treatment options. Technology is one tool we can use to eliminate age-old dental worries like premature tooth loss, pain, inconvenience and fear. Here are a few ways you can experience the latest in dental technology in your next office visit:

  • Use of Intraoral Cameras that magnify problem areas 50 to 60 times, so we see problems earlier, saving patient time, aggravation and money.

  • Use of Digital X-rays generating less radiation than traditional x-rays.

  • Adoption of digital formating making it easier to exchange quick correspondence, file insurance claims, share documents, etc.
