General Dentistry
Preventative check-ups keep you ‘in the know’ about your dental health and are suggested for most patients twice a year. During your general dentistry check-ups, our Dental Hygienists provide a thorough teeth cleaning and assist the Dentist in identifying any possible issues you may be experiencing. If X-Rays are suggested or needed, the Hygienist providing care will collect the digital X-Rays using our state-of-the-art technology, which emits much less radiation than traditional X-Ray machines. After the Dentist reviews the X-Rays and consults with the Hygienist, an oral cancer screening, mouth, and teeth check is completed by the Dentist. At this time, any needed consultation about your oral health will be discussed.
During your dental cleaning and check-up we check for oral cancers, signs of abnormal wear on tooth enamel, gingivitis and gum disease, cavities or cracks in teeth, changes in your oral health since the last visit, and we are open for consultation about specialty services, oral health care techniques, and also general or unique questions.
Having a check-up and cleaning every 6 months is the best way you can stay ‘in the know’ about your oral health and keep a healthy mouth and smile. Our ‘Healthy Mouth Dental Savings Plan’ provides the perfect plan for your oral health!

Pediatric Dentistry
Cleanings and check-ups for children are a great way to ensure a lifetime of good habits and oral health. We like to keep our parents ‘in the know’ about their child’s dental health. Just as with adults, preventative cleanings with a Dentist check-up are suggested twice a year. If your child has teeth, they can begin to establish a positive experience with the Dentist (roughly age 3 and up)!
Our caring Dental Hygienists talk with our young patients about the importance of oral healthcare as they clean their teeth. Parents are welcome to sit in the room. Assisting the Dentist in identifying any possible issues or areas of worry, our Hygienists take the time to make our young patients comfortable. If X-Rays are needed, the Hygienist providing care will collect the easy to take and very “non-scary” digital X-Rays using our state-of-the-art technology, which emits much less radiation than traditional X-Ray machines and are taken right in the chair. After the Dentist reviews the X-Rays, a mouth, teeth, and gums check is completed by the Dentist. At this time, any needed consultation about our pediatric patient’s oral health will be discussed with the parent.
We love our pediatric patients! By establishing great, positive experiences at a young age, parents can help their children to have lifelong healthy mouths and smiles!
Having check-ups every 6 months is the best way you can stay ‘in the know’ about your child’s oral health. Building good dental habits when young ensures a healthy mouth and smile. Our ‘Healthy Mouth Dental Savings Plan’ provides the perfect plan for your whole family’s oral health!
Periodontal Deep Cleaning
Periodontics Deep Cleaning; Scaling and Root Planing: If you have an advanced case of gum disease, you may need special cleaning procedures called periodontal scaling and root planing. These procedures will remove more plaque and tartar from your teeth and under your gum line to help your gums regain and maintain good health.
During the teeth scaling process, specialized tools are used to remove the hardened deposits of plaque buildup (tartar) from the teeth both above and below the gum line. This scaling process is usually done in conjunction with a procedure known as root planing. Root planing involves smoothing rough spots on the roots of the teeth that can promote gum disease by trapping and holding bacteria.
After periodontal scaling and planing procedures, you may expect your gums to be numb from the anesthetic and then possibly tender. But if you maintain a consistent oral health routine of twice-daily tooth brushing, daily flossing, and rinsing after sugary or starchy drinks and snacks, your gums should respond with health.
Root planing and scaling procedures are the most effective ways to treat gum disease before it becomes severe. Ask your dentist about the health of your gums today and do your best to maintain your healthy smile at home. We’ll do our best to keep you informed and aware of any changes we see!
Implant Dentistry
Implant Dentistry provides a patient with a replica tooth, which feels like a real tooth, permanently in place. Implants are sought after for their natural look and feel. An implant may be installed for a single or for multiple teeth, depending on the unique details of each patient’s jaw, mouth, and gum-health.
While implants fall under dental prosthodontics (or dental prostheses), the multi-step process also includes the removal of the tooth, the placement of the implant, placing the abutment, and finally the fabrication and installation of the new replica tooth. While the entire implant process can be expected to take place over a few months, our implant procedures are all in-house, from start to finish. This allows us to set clear expectations of desired outcomes, timelines to complete the implant(s), manage the comfort, care, and total costs of the process to ensure peace of mind for our patients.
Implants can be an exciting change, sometimes long-awaited for. At Hibiscus Dental we put thoughtful care and planning into each appointment for our treasured patients on their implant journey. We can’t wait to work with you for the outcome you desire!
Give us a call to set your initial consultation to review and discuss your specific options. Let’s start planning your custom implants to improve your smile in a way that’s just right for you.
