Preventive Care

At Embrey Dental, we treat you like family, which means incorporating preventative care strategies that stop dental disease before it starts. Scheduling regular checkups with Dr. Peter Lim allows us to routinely screen for concerns in the earliest stages, allowing for minimally invasive treatments that are more holistic, less invasive, and more affordable. 


To keep your smile healthy, we recommend scheduling a dental checkup at least twice a year. During these appointments, Dr. Lim will thoroughly evaluate your teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues using digitally advanced imaging software. And when you do need treatment, we’ll provide you with a customized plan to restore your smile back to optimal health.

What to expect at your initial restorative appointment

Professional Dental Cleanings & Hygiene

Prophylactic dental cleanings and great oral hygiene habits form the foundation of a healthy smile. Our hygienists incorporate an oral-systemic approach to your visits, carefully removing plaque and tartar buildup that can contribute not just to cavities and gum disease but also cardiovascular conditions and other systemic health effects. Through thorough education, we'll guide you in mastering an effective at-home routine that complements your professional cleanings, ensuring your smile stays healthy in the years ahead.

A Preventive Approach to Dental Health

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays offer a highly detailed opportunity to inspect your teeth and underlying structures. Low-dose digital imaging is essential in screening for tooth decay, periodontal disease, abscesses, cysts, impacted teeth, and treatment planning.

Fluoride Treatments

Part of your checkup will include a fluoride treatment to help strengthen your enamel, making it more resilient to tooth decay and sensitivity.

Periodontal Care: Treating Gum Disease

During your dental exam, we screen your gum tissues for any signs of inflammation, recession, infection, or underlying bone loss. Periodontal infections are the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, but they also increase your chances of a heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and infertility. Non-surgical periodontal therapy can help combat the disease and stabilize your smile.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Early detection is key to successfully treating any dental disease, and oral cancer is no exception. An examination with Dr. Lim could potentially save your life by identifying any suspicious tissues at the earliest stage of development.

Night Guards

If you experience bruxism (teeth grinding) or clenching when you sleep, night guards provide a protective barrier that prevents you from wearing down your teeth, breaking dental restorations, and reducing TMJ fatigue.

Sport Guards

Professionally fitted sports mouthguards protect your teeth, gums, tongue, lips, and cheeks during athletic activities. When designed by a professional, they can also lower your chances of a sports-related concussion.

TMJ Splints

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders tend to cause recurring stiffness, pain, and limit your diet. Wearing a bite splint can ease your muscle tension and allow your TMJ to rest, naturally reducing TMD symptoms.
