Total Dental Care: Toddlers to Seniors!

As a family dental practice, we enjoy building lifelong relationships that start early! Axiom Dentistry of Louisburg accepts patients of all ages. We believe that introducing your child to dental care at a young age will give them a positive feeling about the dentist that will last a lifetime. Set your entire family on the right path to good oral health with regular dental visits. At Axiom Dentistry, we strive to create a pleasant experience for all of our patients; especially the youngest ones.

As you get older, your dental needs may change. You may find that your smile is not as bright as it once was, or you may suffer from other dental conditions including tooth loss, periodontal disease, oral cancers, and higher rates of decay. Older adults can keep their teeth for a lifetime with proper care and regular dental checkups. The caring professionals at Axiom Dentistry of Louisburg understand the needs of our older patients.

Emergency Care

Prevention is the best way to avoid unexpected dental emergencies; however, dental emergencies do happen. Having a relationship with a local, family dentist will help you to deal with these unexpected issues. Knowing who to call in a dental crisis will help to ensure your chances of a full recovery.

Are You a Candidate for Implants?

The success of dental implants depends on the overall health of the patient. Some medical conditions, as well as lifestyle choices, could affect the overall success of your dental implant. Patients who have medical conditions that may interfere with the healing process such as diabetes, periodontal disease, or even cigarette smoking may not be good candidates. These patients must evaluate the potential risks of using dental implants. With careful planning and consideration, more than 98 percent of all dental implants are a success.

When it comes to your oral health, preventive dental care is essential. Dental disease is entirely preventable. Proper dental care with Axiom Dentistry Louisburg can help to prevent tooth decay, reduce the need for costly dental procedures, and improve your overall health.

The American Dental Association recommends the following steps to maintain good oral health:

• Brush your teeth two times per day with an ADA-approved fluoride toothpaste
• Replace your toothbrush every three to four months
• Use floss or an interdental cleaner to clean between teeth daily
• Eat a balanced diet and avoid soft drinks
• Visit a dental professional regularly for cleanings and checkups

Regular visits to your dentist can minimize the need for serious dental treatment such as root canals, periodontal treatments, and tooth replacement. Additionally, poor dental hygiene has been linked to serious illnesses such as strokes, heart disease, premature births and Alzheimer’s disease.

Axiom Dentistry of Louisburg offers the following preventive procedures:

Oral Exams

An oral exam consists of a visual examination by your dental provider and X-rays when necessary. Oral exams are used to address goals and expectations of the patient, identify concerns, and develop a customized treatment plan.

Intraoral Cameras

At Axiom Dentistry of Louisburg, we pride ourselves on offering the latest in technology including intraoral cameras. These dental cameras allow you to see exactly what we see. Images are captured by a tiny video camera and displayed on a television monitor. Intraoral cameras allow you to take an active role in your dental treatment by enabling you to better understand your dental conditions.

Digital Radiography

Dental X-rays are a diagnostic tool used to reveal areas of decay and concern that may be hidden to the naked eye. At Axiom Dentistry, we offer digital X-rays which reduce the amount of radiation by more than 80 percent and can be viewed instantly. Digital X-rays provide a better quality image and can be enlarged, cropped, and enhanced for better clarity.

Diagnodent Caries Detection System

Diagnodent is a cavity detection system that provides reliable and accurate early cavity detection; and therefore, the earliest possible care. This detection system allows even the smallest lesions to be detected, enabling early intervention designed to protect and preserve your healthy smile.

Prophylaxis

A prophylaxis is a professional dental cleaning. It is a preventive service designed to prevent gum disease, gingivitis, and periodontal disease and keep the oral cavity in overall good health. During a teeth cleaning, your dental hygienist will remove plaque and tartar with specialized instruments. Enjoy fresher breath and a confident smile with professional dental cleanings every six months.
