Our Clinic & Technology

At Monument Family Dentistry, we believe a healthy, bright smile is best achieved in a fun, compassionate, and home-like environment.

We understand that many patients can feel weary when it’s time to visit the dentist. We strive to make every patient feel relaxed and at home during their visit. Utilizing Solea Laser technology on many of our procedures, patients no longer need to endure anesthesia or noisy, uncomfortable drilling. We also use a 3D panoramic X-ray machine to help with diagnostics and get an accurate and in-depth look at the oral cavity.

We never rush our patients. That’s why we’ll get to know you on a personal level to help you achieve your best smile now and for years to come. We look forward to meeting you!

What Is Preventive Dentistry?

Preventive dentistry focuses on helping patients achieve and maintain healthy smiles for their overall health and wellness. Between bi-annual check-ups, teeth cleanings, and teaching proper dental hygiene techniques, we help patients of all ages establish good oral health for a lifetime.

We educate our patients on how to prevent gum disease, cavities, tooth loss, and teeth grinding. When patients come against dental challenges, we deliver proactive solutions that restore the health of their smiles.

We’ve integrated state-of-the-art technology to enhance and streamline traditional dental procedures, like teeth cleanings, root canals, cavity fillings, for comfortable experiences and better results.

Our general and preventive dentistry services include:

  • Teeth Cleanings
  • 3D Digital X-Rays
  • Root Canals
  • Composite Fillings
  • Mouth Guards for Teeth Grinding & Bruxism
  • Periodontal Therapy

Sensitive Teeth Treatment

Tooth sensitivity is an issue dental patients of all ages face. With proactive measures, Monument Family Dentistry can help you treat and prevent tooth sensitivity.

Let the following information inform you on everything you need to know about tooth sensitivity and how to treat and prevent it!

What Causes Tooth Sensitivity?

When the protective enamel layer wears away, it exposes our teeth and nerve endings to the surrounding environment and everything we consume.

Tooth enamel can wear away with age but is also caused by:

  • High Acidic Diet
  • Over-the-Counter Teeth Whiteners
  • Teeth Grinding
  • Gum Disease
  • Gum Recession
  • Cavities
  • Cracked Tooth or Crown

How Do You Treat & Prevent Tooth Sensitivity?

The first step to protecting your tooth enamel is to change your brushing habits. We recommend using a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush teeth at a 45° angle rather than side to side. Dr. Burtwistle will go over your diet and lifestyle and help you make changes to improve your teeth sensitivity.

We can recommend special fluoride gels, toothpaste, and desensitizing pastes to help you manage your discomfort and restore your enamel. For severe cases, we can administer fluoride treatment to restore the tooth enamel faster. We also treat gingivitis and periodontitis and provide custom-made mouthguards for patients who grind their teeth.
