Meet our experienced dentists, Dr. Natalia Radzikowski and Dr. Alexander Yaldoo. They are redefining what a visit to the dentist can feel like. Picture a place where you feel like part of a large, extended family and not just a patient. Your comfort and confidence are their priorities.
Keeping your teeth and gums healthy goes far beyond a beautiful smile; it's crucial to your oral health and overall wellness. At
TLC Dentistry, we prioritize preventive care, where regular teeth cleanings and dental exams are a cornerstone of our approach.
Preventive care is all about minimizing your risk for dental disease and catching and treating problems as soon as possible. Oral health also affects your overall health; numerous studies link periodontal (gum) disease to diabetes, heart and lung disease, dementia, and many other conditions.
Comprehensive Dental Exams
A dental exam is a thorough evaluation of your oral health. The purpose is to identify potential issues before they become major problems. Early detection and treatment protect your oral health and save you time, money, and discomfort in the future.
During your exam, our dentists check your teeth, gums, soft tissues, and jaw for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns. They use intraoral cameras to get a clear, detailed view of your mouth and share the images with you so you better understand your oral health needs. Digital x-rays are an essential part of prevention because we use them to detect issues that are not visible to the naked eye, such as cavities in or between teeth.
If we spot a potential concern, our dentists will explain their findings and work with you to create a tailored treatment plan that suits your needs, preferences, and budget. We believe in a collaborative approach, ensuring you feel empowered and confident about your oral health decisions.
While oral cancer is extremely aggressive, survival rates are high if the disease is caught early enough. That is why every exam at TLC Dentistry includes an oral cancer screening. The process is simple, non-invasive, and nothing to worry about. We want to support your whole-body health, and spotting oral cancers early on is one way we help keep you safe.
At TLC Dentistry, our skilled dental hygienists perform thorough cleanings. The process involves removing plaque and tartar buildup that your daily brushing and flossing can't handle. They use special tools to scale off the tartar from around and beneath the gumline and then polish your teeth to leave them feeling smooth and shiny.
Even with our best efforts, gum disease can develop and often does so without your knowledge. The symptoms may be so subtle that you don't recognize them, but your dental hygienist will and can provide prompt treatment.
Gum disease has two main categories: gingivitis (the early, reversible stage) and periodontitis (the more severe stage). Left untreated, it can damage the structures that support your teeth and even lead to tooth loss.
If our hygienist identifies signs of gum disease, your treatment plan may include better oral hygiene, scaling and root planing ("deep cleaning"), or more advanced treatments in severe cases.
At TLC Dentistry, preventive dental care is a partnership. Regular dental exams and cleanings, combined with good at-home oral hygiene practices, can keep your teeth and gums healthy for life.
