Prevention is the foundation of excellent oral health. At Johns Creek Dental Associates, we provide comprehensive preventive dental care designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy, catch problems early when they’re easiest to treat, and help you avoid complex dental issues down the road. From routine cleanings to advanced diagnostic technology, our preventive approach protects your smile for life.
Preventive dentistry means more than just routine cleanings. It’s a long-term commitment to your oral health and overall well-being. Whether you’re here for regular checkups, diagnostic imaging, or protective treatments like fluoride and sealants, we provide personalized care in a calm, comfortable setting. Our comprehensive approach helps you maintain optimal oral health throughout your life while building lasting relationships with patients and their families.
Our practice features state-of-the-art diagnostic technology including digital X-rays that use significantly less radiation than traditional films. Our comfortable treatment rooms, friendly staff, and gentle techniques all contribute to stress-free visits. We also offer sedation options when needed to ensure even anxious patients can receive the preventive care they need.
We take time to explain what we’re doing during your preventive visits and why each step matters. Whether it’s your first cleaning or your fiftieth, you’ll always understand what’s happening, what we find during exams, and what steps you can take at home to maintain excellent oral health. We believe informed patients make better decisions about their dental care.
Our preventive dentistry program includes everything you need to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Regular professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing alone can’t eliminate, while thorough exams catch problems like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer in their earliest, most treatable stages.
For patients with gum disease or periodontal concerns, we offer advanced laser therapy treatment. This modern approach to periodontal care uses precise laser technology to remove bacteria and infected tissue while promoting healing and regeneration of healthy gum tissue. Laser therapy is minimally invasive, typically more comfortable than traditional methods, and can help restore your gum health with less discomfort and faster recovery times.
Cavities are one of the most common dental problems, but they’re also one of the easiest to treat when caught early. Regular preventive visits allow us to detect decay in its earliest stages, often before you experience any symptoms. When treatment is needed, we use modern tooth-colored composite fillings that blend naturally with your smile. These materials are durable, aesthetically pleasing, and mercury-free, making them a safer and more attractive choice compared to traditional metal fillings.

We use the latest digital diagnostic tools including intraoral cameras and digital X-rays to ensure precise diagnosis and early problem detection. Our technology allows us to catch issues other practices might miss, while minimizing radiation exposure and providing clear images you can see and understand.
Our skilled dental professionals are dedicated to providing thorough, gentle preventive care tailored to your individual needs. We take time to get to know you, understand your oral health history, and create personalized prevention plans that work with your lifestyle and goals.
From the moment you walk in, your long-term oral health becomes our priority.

Your comfort, time, and trust matter to us at every visit.

Preventive care is the foundation of maintaining healthy teeth and gums for life, but many patients have questions about what’s included, how often to schedule appointments, and why certain treatments are recommended. Understanding the purpose behind preventive dentistry helps you make informed decisions about your oral health. Here are answers to the most common questions we receive about preventive care and how it protects your smile for years to come.
Most patients benefit from preventive dental visits every six months. These regular checkups allow us to monitor your oral health, remove plaque and tartar buildup, and catch problems early when they’re easiest and least expensive to treat. However, some patients with gum disease, high cavity risk, or other oral health concerns may need more frequent visits. We’ll recommend a schedule based on your individual needs.
No, we don’t take X-rays at every preventive visit. For most patients, we recommend bitewing X-rays once a year and a full set of X-rays every three to five years. However, if you have active dental problems, a history of frequent cavities, or gum disease, we may recommend more frequent imaging. We use digital X-rays that emit significantly less radiation than traditional films—up to 90% less exposure—and we only take X-rays when diagnostically necessary to detect problems that can’t be seen during a visual exam.
A routine cleaning (prophylaxis) removes plaque and tartar from above the gum line and is typically recommended every six months for patients with healthy gums. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) treats gum disease by removing plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smoothing root surfaces to help gums reattach to teeth. If we detect gum disease during your preventive visit, we’ll explain whether you need deep cleaning and why it’s important for restoring gum health. Deep cleanings may require local anesthesia and are usually completed in two appointments.
