General/Preventative Procedures
Dr. Makrauer puts a strong emphasis on preventative dentistry as well as the early detection of potential dental problems. Our goal is to restore and maintain your teeth in optimal health at all times.
Our practice is equipped with the latest technologies and training to support that goal. We chose conservative, non-invasive procedures whenever possible, including digital x-rays (to decrease radiation exposure) and non-surgical periodontal therapies.
Each Hygiene/Preventative Dental Visit Includes the Following:
- Periodontal (gum) evaluation and therapy
- Local antibiotic therapy of gum infections (non-surgical alternative)
- Diagnodent™, laser cavity-finding instrument
- Personalized home care therapy instruction
- Halitosis treatment (Oxyfresh rinse and toothpaste)
- Intra-oral camera to assist in visual aids
- Fluoride treatments (if desired)
- Digital X-rays (to decrease radiation exposure)
