Silver Diamine Treatment
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a liquid solution applied directly to cavities to stop their progression. It contains silver, which kills bacteria, and fluoride, which strengthens tooth enamel. SDF is often used as a conservative treatment option, especially for young children or individuals with dental anxiety. It can help prevent cavities from worsening and reduce sensitivity.

Intraoral Camera
While X-rays provide valuable insights, they can sometimes miss hidden dental problems. That's why we utilize cutting-edge intraoral cameras at Mills Dental Group. Our dentists can use this tiny camera to capture highly detailed images of your teeth and gums, revealing areas that traditional X-rays might overlook. By combining these advanced tools, we can detect cavities, cracks, gum disease, and other issues early on, allowing for prompt and effective treatment. Early detection means less invasive procedures and a healthier smile overall.
Mouth Guards for Bruxism
Are you waking up with jaw pain or persistent headaches? Teeth grinding (bruxism) could be the culprit. It can also lead to TMJ pain and uneven tooth wear. Our dentists at Mills Dental Group specialize in treating these issues. Our custom-made night guards protect your teeth while you sleep, and our advanced techniques address the root cause of your discomfort. Reclaim your mornings and enjoy lasting relief – schedule your appointment today!
Tekscan T-Scan™
Tekscan T-Scan is a digital tool used by dentists to analyze a patient's bite. Unlike traditional methods, T-Scan measures not only where the teeth touch but also the force and timing of the bite. This detailed information helps dentists identify problems like premature contact, uneven bite force, and other issues that can affect the health and longevity of teeth and restorations. By using T-Scan, dentists can create more precise treatment plans and improve overall patient outcomes.
Treatment for Sleep Apnea
Struggling with sleep apnea? Our dentists at Mills Dental Group offer a comfortable and effective solution: custom-made night guards. These oral appliances gently open your airway, helping you breathe freely throughout the night. Untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health issues like heart disease and high blood pressure. If you experience snoring, daytime fatigue, or mood swings, schedule a consultation to see if nightguards are right for you.
