Leave A ReviewBeyond the Traditional Cleaning: The Power of Laser Hygiene
At our Anchorage dental office, we elevate the standard of preventative care by integrating advanced laser technology into every hygiene visit. Our team uses the Picasso Diode Laser to achieve a level of cleanliness that traditional tools cannot on their own. By incorporating laser hygiene into our routine dental cleanings, Anchorage patients receive a deeper and more effective level of care. The benefits of this advanced approach include:
- Significant reduction of harmful bacteria in the periodontal pockets.
- Minimization of inflammation in the gum tissues.
- Reduction in the risk of bacteria entering the bloodstream during the cleaning process.
- Increased comfort for patients with sensitive gums.
- A more proactive approach to helping prevent gum disease before it becomes a major issue.
This laser technology allows our hygienists to target bacteria at a microscopic level. It is a gentle yet powerful addition to our preventative protocols that supports both your oral health and overall wellness.
Comprehensive Dental Exams for Long-Term Health
Our preventative dental approach relies on early detection and a holistic understanding of how your oral health affects your entire body. We do not just look at your teeth; we evaluate the health of your gums, jaw, and soft tissues to ensure everything is functioning in harmony.
During your comprehensive dental exam, Dr. Skinner and Dr. Fox use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to get a complete picture of your oral health. We prioritize accuracy and patient education through the following methods:
- Digital X-rays that produce up to 90 percent less radiation than traditional film.
- Intraoral cameras that allow you to see high-definition images of your teeth on a screen.
- Thorough oral cancer screenings to detect early signs of abnormalities.
- Evaluations of your bite and jaw function to ensure your dental arches are properly aligned.
- Periodontal charting to monitor the health of your gum attachments over time.
By identifying potential issues in their earliest stages, we can provide conservative treatments that save you time, money, and discomfort in the future.

Why Routine Cleanings Are Essential for Your Wellness
Regular visits do more than just brighten your smile; they are a critical component of your overall physical health and vitality. Research has shown a strong connection between oral health and systemic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory issues.
When you stay consistent with your six-month cleanings, you are doing more than just removing surface stains. You are investing in your wellness by:
- Removing hardened plaque and tartar that cannot be brushed away at home.
- Preventing the onset of gingivitis and more serious periodontal disease.
- Reducing chronic inflammation that can tax your immune system.
- Ensuring your breath stays fresh and your gums remain healthy and pink.
- Updating your medical and dental history to catch changes in your health profile.
We view our role as your partners in health. By keeping your mouth healthy, you help support the health of your entire body.
