Preventive Dentistry & Smile Maintenance
As a general dentist, Dr. Wynne believes in the power of preventive dentistry and dental maintenance. By visiting our dental office twice a year for checkups and cleanings, you could save yourself from many potential oral and overall health problems. In your checkup, Dr. Wynne will screen for bite problems, gum disease, oral cancer, and he will look at each of your teeth to assess old dental work and areas that need correction, like tooth decay or structural damage.
If you have headaches or problems opening and closing your mouth, you may have temporomandibular joint dysfunction. We offer non-surgical therapy to alleviate TMJ dysfunction symptoms. Dr. Wynne may also recommend a nightguard if you grind your teeth, a condition called bruxism. For patients who snore or suffer from sleep apnea, Dr. Wynne might suggest an oral appliance that will open the airway and promote a sound night's sleep. Our athletic patients are encouraged to wear a comfortable, custom-made mouthguard to protect their smiles during sports.
They say that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and in dentistry, this rule is accurate. Let Dr. Wynne help you keep your smile safe and sound and improve your quality of life for the long term. Call our Raleigh dental office if you live near Cary, Morrisville, or Apex. Your smile will thank you by serving you well for years to come!
