Dental Hygiene Counseling

We’ll give your smile a thorough cleaning at every visit — but you’re the primary person caring for it day to day. Dr. Drew can meet with you for hygiene counseling to help you get the most from your home care.

Dental Sealants

Back teeth are hard to brush and vulnerable to decay. Sealants — clear or tooth-colored resin painted onto chewing surfaces — form a smooth barrier over pits and grooves, blocking food, bacteria and plaque.

They’re most often recommended for children between 6 and 12 as permanent molars erupt, and for adults at higher risk of decay. Application takes just minutes during a regular visit.

Emergency Dental Care

If you or someone you know has a dental emergency, call us first at (904) 620-9225. We’ll see you as soon as possible and tell you how to care for your smile in the meantime.

If you’ve experienced severe trauma to the head, neck or jaw, please visit your physician or the emergency room first — your safety is our first priority.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride strengthens enamel and slows the risk of decay — helping you avoid more expensive treatments later. We paint a varnish or gel onto your teeth in minutes during your checkup.

For best results, avoid hot foods and drinks and skip brushing or flossing for at least six hours afterward. Treatment can be repeated every six to 12 months.

Night Guards

Many people grind or clench at night without realizing it, leading to damaged or sensitive teeth. A custom night guard matches your bite and fits comfortably, protecting your teeth and relieving symptoms.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer can be difficult to detect early. During routine checkups we use VELscope® technology for a comprehensive exam that helps locate issues that might otherwise be missed — in the lips, tongue, cheeks, throat and floor of the mouth.

Sleep Apnea Treatments

Snoring can be a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea — pauses in breathing that can last 30 seconds or more and contribute to heart disease, high blood pressure and other serious problems. We can provide a sleep study kit to help diagnose severity.

For mild to moderate cases, a custom oral appliance can keep your airway open so you breathe easily. More severe cases may require CPAP or surgery.

Sports Mouth Guards

Custom mouthguards absorb impact and protect teeth, gums, tongue and jaw — reducing the risk of broken teeth and jaw injuries. For athletes with braces, they also keep wires and brackets from damaging the mouth.

Store-bought guards can interfere with breathing and speaking. A custom guard is molded to your bite, stays put and lets you focus on the game — from football and martial arts to basketball, soccer and cycling.

Tooth Extractions

Our goal is to help you keep your natural teeth for life, but sometimes an extraction is the healthiest option — for severe infection, decay beyond repair or crowding. We use great care to keep you comfortable and can replace the tooth with one of our excellent restorative options.

Wisdom Tooth Extractions

Wisdom teeth usually arrive in the late teens or early 20s, and the mouth often doesn’t have room for them. Dr. Drew has specialized training in wisdom tooth extractions and will examine your bite to decide whether removal is right for you — then walk you through what to expect before, during and after.
