At Tamara Levit, DDS, we offer a range of preventative dental services tailored to meet your specific needs:

  • Regular Checkups and Cleanings: Our comprehensive dental checkups and professional cleanings help maintain optimal oral hygiene and detect any potential issues early on.
  • Fluoride Treatments: Strengthen your tooth enamel and reduce sensitivity with fluoride treatments, available both in-office and for at-home use.

  • Addressing Oral Concerns: Whether you're experiencing tooth sensitivity, bleeding gums, or teeth discoloration, our team is equipped to address these issues effectively.

Effective Treatments for Tooth Sensitivity

Tooth sensitivity can be debilitating, but our dental experts offer various treatments to alleviate discomfort, including:

  • Desensitizing Toothpaste: Choose from over-the-counter, prescription, or professional-grade desensitizing toothpaste to reduce tooth sensitivity and oral discomfort.
  • Fluoride Applications: Strengthen enamel and alleviate pain by applying fluoride to affected areas, either in-office or at home.
  • Dental Bonding: Protect exposed tooth roots and reduce sensitivity through dental bonding, which involves the application of composite resin.
  • Gum Graft Surgery: For severe cases, gum graft surgery can restore gum tissue and alleviate sensitivity caused by exposed tooth roots.

Addressing Discolorations and Decay

Combat tooth discolorations and early signs of decay with innovative treatments such as:

  • ICON Treatment: Experience a revolutionary approach to cavity treatment with ICON, a drill-free and anesthesia-free procedure that remineralizes enamel and restores tooth structure.
  • Personalized Recommendations: Based on your unique dental needs, our team may recommend additional treatments to reverse demineralization and preserve enamel health.

Gum disease can lead to serious oral health issues, but early detection and intervention are key. Our team specializes in diagnosing and treating various stages of gum disease, from gingivitis to periodontitis.
