Preventive Dentistry

At Elyra Dental Center, preventive care focuses on protecting natural teeth through early, conservative treatment and personalized guidance. Services include fluoride therapy to strengthen enamel and reduce cavity risk; fissure sealants to shield deep grooves from decay; Curodont™ biomimetic treatment to help repair early enamel lesions without drilling; and preventive resin restorations (PRR) to treat very small cavities while preserving healthy structure. Custom sports guards protect teeth and jaws during athletic activities, while custom night or bite guards help prevent damage from clenching and grinding (bruxism), reducing wear, fractures, and jaw discomfort. Guided by Elyra’s Lifetime Care Philosophy, each recommendation is tailored to the patient’s age, risk factors, and goals—helping prevent disease, minimize future treatment, and maintain confident, healthy smiles for years to come.
