General Dentistry

Maintaining your oral health takes a dedicated effort and fortunately, you’re not in it alone. To keep your smile healthy on top of at-home care, our Greater Kalamazoo dentists invite you to come in for regular teeth cleanings, fluoride treatments, oral cancer screenings, and more to detect any early signs of concern. Our goal with everything is to help you prevent issues before they start or worsen, ensuring your teeth and gums stay in optimal condition.

Teeth Cleanings

An essential part of preventive dental care, professional teeth cleanings help make a healthy, beautiful smile possible at every stage of life. During your 6-month check-up, our experienced hygienists will carefully and thoroughly clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar that can lead to cavities and gum disease.

In addition to the cleaning, we include an oral cancer screening as part of your visit. Early detection is crucial, and this quick and painless screening helps identify any signs of concern that might otherwise go unnoticed. We also cap off appointments like these with optional fluoride treatment to further strengthen tooth enamel and guard against decay.

For patients who show signs of bruxism (teeth grinding) or jaw issues, our dentists can discuss the benefits of a custom night guard to protect your teeth while you sleep. This comprehensive approach ensures your smile stays healthy and vibrant for years to come.

Sedation Dentistry

A comfortable and stress-free experience is attainable for patients who feel anxious or highly fearful about dental visits. At Sharp Smile Center, we have 3 options available depending on preference and anxiety severity: laughing gas, oral conscious (pill) sedation, and IV sedation. Our dentists have received specialized training to safely administer sedation, ensuring comfort and peace of mind so whether you’re here for a routine cleaning, a lengthy procedure, or struggle with a strong gag reflex, sedation can make your visit more pleasant and worry-free.

Sleep Apnea & Airway Obstruction

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is not to be taken lightly. Not only can it lead to poor sleep quality, but it can result in serious health concerns as well. Our dentists offer multi-faceted evaluations and treatments, including custom oral appliances and facial injections. Typically viewed as more cosmetic, these injections also work to relax the muscles around the airway, helping to reduce blockages and improve breathing.
