Family Block Scheduling

Life can be busy, which is why we make it easy to prioritize your family’s dental health. Our family block scheduling lets you book appointments for your entire family at the same time. Our convenient location, right across from Pendleton Heights High School, makes it even easier to fit dental care into your busy schedule.

Preventive Exams and Dental Cleanings

Regular check-ups are key to catching potential problems early on. Preventive exams at Pendleton Smiles include a thorough check of your teeth, gums, and mouth to screen for issues like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. Paired with a professional dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup, these visits are your first line of defense against future dental health concerns.

Teeth Desensitizing Treatments

If you experience tooth sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks, our desensitizing treatments can help reduce discomfort and make eating and drinking enjoyable again.

Halitosis Treatment

Bad breath can be a sign of underlying oral health issues. We can identify the cause and provide effective treatments to help you achieve fresh breath and renewed confidence.

Athletic Mouthguards

Protect your teeth and jaw from injury while you enjoy your favorite sports with a custom-fitted athletic mouthguard. Custom-fitted mouthguards provide a higher level of protection than over-the-counter options, helping to safeguard your smile against injury, concussions, and more.

Bruxism Mouth Guards

If you grind or clench your teeth (a condition known as bruxism), a custom mouthguard worn at night can protect your teeth from wear and damage while relieving jaw pain and reducing headaches.

Sleep Apnea Assessments

Sleep apnea can impact your overall health. Our dentists can perform a preliminary assessment and provide options for oral appliance therapy to help manage mild to moderate cases.

Healthy Smiles Start with Quality Prevention

Taking a proactive approach to your dental health not only keeps your smile looking great but also saves you time and money by preventing the need for more complex treatments down the road. Regular visits allow us to partner with you to achieve and maintain a lifetime of healthy smiles.
