Dr. Prida strongly recommends that all patients attend a checkup and hygiene appointment every six months, or twice per year. These visits are important because they promote not only better oral health, but a stronger sense of overall wellbeing too. Our team will be as thorough as possible, reviewing your teeth and gums for signs of decay, periodontal disease, oral cancer, TMJ disorder, and other common concerns that could lead to damage and pain. After this comprehensive exam, Dr. Prida will discuss the findings with you and help you determine the ideal treatment plan, always taking your personal preferences and time constraints into account. Additionally, a cleaning is strongly recommended to help remove accumulated plaque and tartar from your smile and prevent dangerous decay. Our hygienists are friendly, talented, and ready to help you smile brighter!

Bruxism (also known as teeth grinding/clenching) is a common ailment that affects countless adults all over the country. If you find yourself struggling with headaches, jaw pain, and worn-down tooth enamel on a routine basis, it’s likely that you’re one of them, and Dr. Prida can help. With a custom oral appliance known as a “nightguard,” patients can minimize aggravating contact between teeth as they sleep, resulting in alleviated symptoms and a healthier smile overall. Our team also offers effective treatment for the more debilitating TMJ disorder, which may occur as a result of bruxism.

Oral cancer may not be discussed as often as cavities or periodontal disease in the dentist’s office, but the statistics surrounding it are alarming. For instance, one person dies from the disease every hour on average, and nearly half of affected patients won’t survive longer than five years past their original diagnosis. This is unacceptable to Dr. Prida, which is why she’s made oral cancer screenings a vital part of every routine examination here in the Dallas area.

With the help of fluorescent VELscope technology, our team will perform a thorough scan of your mouth, revealing any abnormalities in the tissue that may point towards the presence of cancerous cells. There is a bright spot in the fight against this dangerous condition – the earliest oral cancer is identified, the higher the chances of a successful, lasting recovery.

If you struggle with teeth that are highly sensitive to decay, dental sealants are a simple and effective preventive service that can provide valuable protection. Dr. Prida will apply this quality plastic material to the deep chewing surfaces of premolars and molars, which are prime areas for plaque to accumulate. Once the “seal” is in place, food particles and dangerous bacteria are no longer able to gather as effectively as before. Dental sealants are also ideal for younger patients who are still learning how to properly care for teeth with efficient oral hygiene at home.

At our upscale dental office, Dr. Prida has spared no expense to ensure that her patients are receiving the best that modern dentistry has to offer. Our commitment to advanced technology benefits every stage of the treatment process, allowing us to maintain even higher levels of comfort, convenience, and accuracy throughout.
