Diagnostic X-Rays

Diagnostic x-rays provide valuable insights for both clinician and patient. They can highlight bone loss, which can impact overall oral health. With advanced digital technology, I can utilize x-rays to guide me through your oral health assessment. The beauty and simplicity of digital x-rays are they are minimally invasive, especially when compared to other medical assessments. Another bonus is that x-rays offer an instant snapshot into your mouth. 

Oral Health Assessment

X-rays are only one aspect of your oral health assessment. As a Registered Dental Hygienist, I am trained in evaluating your current gum health, your homecare habits and how to improve those habits. I will also take the time to review and update your medical history as that ties into one's oral health. 

Guided Biofilm Therapy

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) utilizes a simple, time efficient, minimally invasive form of cleaning plaque (bio-film) from your teeth, gums and soft tissue. It is more gentle than traditional ultrasonics and hand scaling. It is ideal for natural teeth, orthodontics (braces), implants, etc. *It utilizes warmwater which is a big relief to those with cold sensitivities. See below for more information.

Comprehensive Referrals

In matters of health, incorporating multiple disciplines is ideal, hence implementing a referral system. Not everyone needs to be referred but for those that do, I will refer to dentists, periodontists, orthodontists, etc. We work together as a team.

from a Filipina client: “Well recommended po. She's very gentle, friendly, and accommodating. Its my first time to drowse to sleep while Alona is cleaning my teeth. That's relaxing."
from our Facebook: "Best Hygienist! I had one of the best cleaning I received. She was kind and extremely knowledgeable. It was amazing experience!"
from our Facebook: “I had an excellent experience with Alona. She deserves a solid 5/5 rating. I particularly appreciated her use of her EMS airflow equipment, will be recommending to the entire family.”
