General Dentist

A comprehensive dental exam includes far more than just cleaning your teeth. It involves a complete and thorough patient examination covering everything from pre-existing conditions, gum health, and even screenings and diagnostic exams to guarantee optimal oral health.

At Prime Time Dentistry, our comprehensive dental exams include all of the following:

• Patient Interview
• Disease Screening
• Oral Examination & Cleaning
• Diagnostic Exams

If you need an emergency dentist, call our office. If your emergency is life-threatening, contact 911 immediately.

Remember: Stay calm and stop the bleeding first. Never take ibuprofen or Advil when bleeding since it is an anticoagulant that can promote bleeding.

At Prime Time Dentistry, we are devoted to providing you with high-quality personalized dental care. We always do our best to see you on the same day you call for an emergency dental treatment to ensure you get the relief you deserve.

We’ve all been there: leaned back in that long chair, bright light in our eyes, and our mouths wide open while a dentist and dental hygienist scrapes and picks at our teeth before using a gritty substance to polish them. The biannual teeth cleaning. Some see this procedure as a nuisance, but hygiene is essential to oral and overall health. Maintaining oral hygiene and oral health is critical to living a healthy life.

Using a small radiographic camera slightly larger than a pen, we can efficiently capture images of each tooth while replacing the traditional film used in conventional X-rays.

This technology conveniently eliminates the need to develop or process images. Instead, they appear instantly on a computer screen as each scan is completed so that the doctor can read them within minutes!

By shifting the angle of the imaging wand only slightly, your dentist can capture every tooth surface and provide immediate results, so you don’t have to wait.

During your next checkup at Prime Time Dentistry, we can determine whether your teeth would benefit from a fluoride supplement. If we find that your teeth could use a boost, we’ll recommend some simple solutions.

Our office has a specialized fluoride mouth rinse available in many flavors.

If your fluoride levels are deficient, we may recommend a fluoride supplement.

While preventative maintenance like daily brushing, flossing, and biannual professional cleanings help protect your teeth against infection and decay, you also need to protect your teeth against injury and dental trauma. Mouthguards offer cushion-like protection to protect your teeth against impact from sports injuries, bruxism, and TMJ.

If you or your child is an athlete, a mouthguard is essential to protect against a dental injury. Avoiding costly and painful dental procedures may be just one mouthguard away.

One of the most effective ways to cure oral cancer is to catch it early. Ideally, you will have a cancer screening before exhibiting any oral cancer symptoms. Suppose you have lifestyle habits that increase your risk of oral cancer or genetic history. In that case, your Frisco general dentist will perform an oral cancer screening as a part of your regular dental visit.

If you are concerned about oral cancer, ask us for an oral cancer screening during your next appointment.

Sealants are an effective way for you to protect your teeth from decay. While daily brushing and flossing go a long way toward ensuring your oral health, molars are more difficult to clean because of their irregular, uneven surfaces that create nooks and crannies where bacteria and food can get stuck. Sealants offer a protective layer of plastic or another dental material that protects your tooth from bacteria and prevents tooth decay.

Sealants can be applied over small areas of decay to stop the progress or used as preventative measures. When the bacteria naturally found in your mouth react with your food, it produces an acid that breaks down your tooth’s enamel and causes cavities. The sealant material covers the nooks and crannies of the surfaces of your molars to stop cavities from forming.
