Dental Exams and Dental Cleanings - General Dentistry in Russellville, Arkansas, serving Little Rock

In addition to our cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments, our practice offers comprehensive general dentistry care. Dr. Michael Cooper has been helping patients enjoy outstanding oral health for over 25 years at his practice in Russellville, Arkansas, serving Little Rock and surrounding areas. He and his staff perform dental exams, dental cleanings, and other treatments with care, compassion, and the latest advances in technology for increased patient comfort and safety.

Dental Exams

During dental exams at our practice, Dr. Cooper thoroughly examines the patient’s teeth and gums for signs of disease or decay. We perform comprehensive dental exams in order to identify tooth decay, gum disease, and other conditions in their earliest stages. In this way, treatment can be provided to address these concerns before serious conditions develop and before major procedures such as root canal surgery are required. Regular dental exams are vital for the prevention of tooth loss and to ensure that gums remain in excellent health.

We use the latest technology during dental exams at our practice, including an intraoral camera and panoramic and digital x-rays. These tools are more comfortable for the patient than traditional x-rays and enable the patient to view images of his or her mouth immediately. These tools also enable Dr. Cooper to show the patient any areas of concern and allow the patient to participate more fully in the discussion of treatment options. We invite you to contact our practice for more information about dental exams or to schedule an appointment at our offices.

Dental Cleanings

A cornerstone of good oral health, regular dental cleanings help prevent tooth decay, cavities, gingivitis, and other conditions. Along with proper home care, regular dental cleanings are essential to keeping teeth and gums in excellent condition.

Our hygienists and staff use the latest tools to ensure that dental cleanings are as thorough, comfortable, and effective as possible. We know that many individuals may be wary of receiving dental treatment due to unpleasant experiences they’ve had at the dentist’s office in their past. We are committed to providing gentle dental care in a soothing environment so that individuals do not avoid receiving the treatment that they need for healthy, beautiful smiles.  Our amenities such as televisions, headphones, and blankets help patients to rest and relax comfortably while dental cleanings are being performed.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Our practice uses a state-of-the-art oral cancer screening system called VELscope® to detect signs of this horrible disease as early as possible. Many Americans are diagnosed with oral cancer every year, and this system helps ensure that treatment can be provided before the condition worsens and requires extensive surgery.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride treatments are usually performed after dental cleanings to help prevent tooth decay. We offer treatment in the form of rinses. This treatment is especially enjoyable for children, as we offer several flavors of fluoride rinses for them to choose from.

Sealants

Sealants are clear or tooth-colored resins that are placed in the pits of the back teeth. They are designed to help prevent plaque from building up in these pits and causing tooth decay. Sealants are often placed on children’s back teeth to help keep their teeth and gums in excellent condition.

Tooth Grinding Treatments

Dr. Cooper can diagnose and treat the pain and soreness that can be caused by tooth grinding. Mouth guards and teeth grinding therapy are two of the procedures that can help patients stop this habit.
