Preventive Dentistry

Dental exams and teeth cleanings at Moorpark Dental Studio every six months contribute to a healthier smile in general. Dr. Gury Batlle and his dental team always have a current picture of your unique oral health needs.

That way, they can anticipate problems and take preventive measures before they occur. If a condition like a cavity or gum disease develops, they’ll treat it promptly to protect your oral health.

Dental Exams and Teeth Cleanings Every Six Months

Everyone needs a dental exam and teeth cleaning every six months. If you brush and floss like a pro and your teeth and gums feel fine, these services ensure they stay that way.

Routine Dental Exams

The benefit of routine dental checkups is that our dentist monitors your oral health ongoing. If we detect a cavity or gingivitis, our dentist can treat them promptly and spare you the unnecessary discomfort of a toothache or time missed from work.

Seeing us every six months also helps control dental costs; it’s more cost-effective to fix a small cavity than wait until it spreads and treatment becomes more complex and costly.

Every dental exam with Dr. Batlle includes the following:

Check each tooth for cavities
Look for signs of gum disease
Examine your jaw and dental bite
Check the condition of existing dental work
Perform an oral cancer screening
Update dental x-rays as needed

At Moorpark Dental Studio, we like to keep our patients informed about their oral health needs. We can tell you as much or as little as you want to know, but knowledge is power, and understanding your dental needs can help you make informed decisions in your daily life that support a healthier smile.

Dental Exams Keep You Informed About Your Oral Health

One way we keep you engaged is with technology like intraoral cameras that give you a view of your mouth you’ve probably never seen before!

An intraoral camera is a small digital instrument Dr. Batlle uses during dental exams to give you a front-row seat. As he moves the camera around your mouth, you can view the images on your chairside monitor. Instead of just telling you a problem exists, he can show you worn or cracked teeth, cavities, or old failing dental work, so you understand why we recommend treatment.

Teeth Cleanings with a Dental Hygienist

Brushing twice a day and flossing once are critical for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. You should also support your efforts with professional teeth cleanings with a dental hygienist every six months or as recommended.

During your cleaning, the hygienist removes all the plaque your brush and floss can’t reach. They also use specialized instruments to eliminate tartar, or hardened plaque, that no amount of at-home brushing can do.

If we find signs of periodontal disease, our dentist and hygienist will recommend a treatment plan to resolve it. The type of cleaning we provide depends on whether you have gingivitis, the mildest form, or advanced gum disease called periodontitis.

Preventive Dentistry Technology

Digital X-Rays

Dentists need x-rays so they can diagnose what’s happening with your oral health and plan the appropriate treatment. At Moorpark Dental Studio, we offer digital low-dose dental x-rays that provide several benefits:

Minimizes radiation exposure by 80 percent compared to film x-rays
Allows for early diagnosis of cavities and gum disease
Digital sensors make taking x-rays more comfortable and efficient
Provides a current picture of your oral health
Educates and informs patients about their unique dental needs

Additionally, digital x-rays are securely and safely stored in your private patient record and are accessible by our dental team at the touch of a button. We can also easily transmit your x-rays electronically to specialists and your insurance company as needed.

Last but certainly not least, digital x-rays are safer for our environment because we don't have to use hazardous chemicals to process them.

Intraoral Cameras

At Moorpark Dental Studio, we believe that keeping our patients informed about their oral health needs is a significant part of the service we provide. Oral health needs can be complex, and it's true that a picture can be worth a thousand words. As part of our dental exams, we use intraoral cameras to include you in diagnosing problems like cavities, gum disease, broken and cracked teeth, and more.

An intraoral camera is a small, handheld device that Dr. Batlle uses to collect real-time images of your mouth. When he moves it around different parts of your mouth, you can see the magnified image displayed on your chairside monitor. As you watch, Dr. Batlle points out problem areas like worn teeth or old fillings, and you can see what he sees.

This unique picture of your oral health helps you understand why a broken or cracked tooth is a problem and how treating it will benefit you. Since the images are digital, we can store them safely on our secure in-house network so our team can refer to them, and we can easily share them electronically with specialists and insurance companies as needed.
