Preventative dentistry is the foundation of any great practice. We believe that preventative dentistry begins with you, at home. Practicing proper brushing and flossing techniques help avoid or deter the progression of tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth loss. We pride ourselves in providing and educating our patients on the importance of getting their teeth checked biannually to maintain optimal oral health. When patients neglect their teeth and don’t get checked regularly, complex dental issues like decay, infection, and gum disease can wreak havoc on your health. Avoiding complex problems is key to keeping you smile bright and healthy. Dr. Byron Desbordes and his dedicated team work with patients in a comfortable environment to ensure quality, personalized care.
