The foundation of a healthy, vibrant smile is established through preventive care, and at Capozzi Dental Group in Prospect, CT, we are your partners in this journey toward optimal oral health. As the saying goes, “prevention is better than cure,” which couldn’t be more true regarding dental health. By identifying potential issues early and administering the appropriate treatment, we aim to prevent minor concerns from becoming major problems down the line.
Our friendly and professional team is committed to offering comprehensive preventive dental services that cater to your unique needs. We prioritize your comfort—educating you about your oral health and equipping you with the knowledge and treatments you need to maintain your smile.
Cleanings & Exams
Routine cleanings and exams are the cornerstone of maintaining a healthy smile. Our professional cleanings at Capozzi Dental Group effectively remove plaque and tartar, the main culprits behind tooth decay and gum disease, that brushing and flossing at home might miss.
Each cleaning session is followed by a thorough dental examination. Our dentists use the latest dental technologies to spot any potential problems, from cavities and early signs of gum disease to signs of tooth wear and bite issues. We may also take digital x-rays to examine the areas beneath the gum line and between teeth.
These regular appointments are more than just “cleanings.” They’re an opportunity for us to guide you on your oral health journey, providing education on better home care practices, discussing any concerns or symptoms you’ve had, and updating you on your overall dental health. By catching potential issues early, we can often address them more conservatively and cost-effectively.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer is a potentially life-threatening condition that often goes undetected until it’s in its late stages. However, early detection greatly increases the chances of successful treatment. At Capozzi Dental Group, we incorporate oral cancer screenings as a crucial part of our preventive dentistry services.
During these screenings, our experienced team thoroughly examines your mouth and throat for signs of abnormal tissues, such as sores, white or red patches, and lumps. We may also palpate the neck and jaw area to detect any unusual swelling or nodules. If we find anything concerning, we’ll guide you through the next steps, which may include further diagnostic tests or referral to a specialist.
Sports Mouthguards
Protecting your teeth during physical activity is essential, and our custom-made sports mouthguards are designed to do just that. These mouthguards are crafted to fit your mouth perfectly, providing optimal protection against sports-related dental injuries.
Night Guards
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, can cause significant damage to your teeth over time. Our custom-fitted night guards serve as a protective barrier, minimizing the harmful effects of grinding while you sleep. With a night guard from Capozzi Dental Group, you can rest easy knowing your smile is safeguarded.
Pediatric Dentistry
Our team understands the importance of early dental care. Our pediatric dentistry services provide gentle, engaging, and comprehensive care to our younger patients. From regular cleanings and exams to early orthodontic assessments, we aim to create positive dental experiences for your children.
Emergency Treatment
When a dental emergency strikes, immediate and appropriate care is crucial. At Capozzi Dental Group, we are fully equipped to handle various dental emergencies, from severe toothaches and knocked-out teeth to fractured or chipped teeth and damaged restorations. Our highly skilled team can administer effective treatments such as emergency root canals, dental bonding, and temporary restorations, among others.
We strive to provide immediate relief and stabilization, always aiming to save the tooth whenever possible. Beyond the immediate response, we also guide you through any necessary follow-up care to ensure long-term oral health.
