Routine Dental Checkups and Teeth Cleanings
At Williamsburg Dental, we recommend twice-annual checkups and cleanings for patients of all ages for a big reason. Removing plaque and tartar are crucial steps for preventing decay, but you’re getting more than that sparkling-mouth feeling we all love after we’ve visited the dentist. You’re also giving our team the opportunity to really get to know and understand your unique teeth and gums -- helping us spot, diagnose and treat future problems as soon as they occur.

Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is incredibly easy to reverse in its earliest stages, and it’s even easier to prevent. But because the warning signs of the condition are very subtle, they often go unnoticed until they’ve reached advanced stages. The good news is you can prevent the condition by practicing excellent oral hygiene at home: brushing for two minutes, twice a day, flossing daily and visiting the dentist every six months.
Or maybe it’s too late for prevention. If you or a loved one are already suffering from the condition, you’ll be relieved to know our team excels in gum disease treatment with effective solutions like scaling and root planing, antibiotic therapy and more.

Nightguards for TMJ/Bruxism
If you suffer from nighttime teeth grinding, a condition we also call bruxism, your teeth will slowly start to show signs of wear -- and left untreated, they may become loose and eventually fall out as a result of the condition. Fortunately, you can find the solution for your nighttime teeth grinding right here at Williamsburg Dental. Dr. Reichenbach can set you up with a custom-fit night guard you wear only while you sleep to protect your teeth and jaw joints -- so you can enjoy an uninterrupted night’s sleep once again.

Digital X-Rays
The key to providing superior dental care is diagnosing and treating oral health concerns in their earliest stages. That means being able to take a closer look at smiles, and see signs of damage on the microscopic level. We are able to do this using digital x-rays to capture high-definition, crystal clear images of smiles. Better yet, digital x-rays reduce patients’ exposure to radiation up to 90% making it the safer alternative to traditional radiography.
