Comprehensive care focused on keeping your smile healthy and beautiful for life.
At Pauley Family Dentistry, we believe prevention is the cornerstone of excellent oral health. Our comprehensive preventive care approach combines thorough examinations, professional cleanings, and patient education to help you maintain a healthy, confident smile throughout your life. We focus on catching potential issues early, when they’re most manageable and cost-effective to treat.
Dr. Pauley takes a meticulous, personalized approach to preventive care, understanding that each patient has unique needs and risk factors. We partner with you to develop a customized prevention plan that fits your lifestyle and helps you achieve optimal oral health. Our goal is to make your dental visits comfortable, informative, and genuinely beneficial to your long-term well-being.
Regular preventive care helps maintain strong teeth and healthy gums, reducing your risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health complications that can impact your overall well-being.
Comprehensive examinations allow us to identify potential issues in their earliest stages, when treatment is typically simpler, more comfortable, and more affordable than waiting until problems become severe.
Investing in preventive care helps you avoid costly restorative treatments down the road, making it one of the smartest investments you can make in your oral health and financial well-being.
We believe every smile is unique. During your visit, we take time to understand your oral health history, lifestyle factors, and personal goals. This comprehensive approach allows us to develop a preventive care plan tailored specifically to your needs, focusing on the areas that matter most for your long-term dental health.
Knowledge empowers better oral health decisions. We prioritize clear communication about your dental health, explaining findings in easy-to-understand terms. You'll learn effective brushing and flossing techniques, understand the connection between oral and overall health, and receive practical tips for maintaining your smile between appointments.
Prevention works best when problems are caught early. Using modern diagnostic tools and thorough examination techniques, we identify potential issues before they become costly or painful. This proactive approach helps preserve your natural teeth and may reduce the need for more extensive treatments down the road.
Most patients benefit from preventive visits every six months, but Dr. Pauley may recommend a different schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and medical history. Some patients may need more frequent visits, while others with excellent oral health may be able to extend the time between appointments.
Your preventive appointment includes a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and oral tissues, professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup, oral cancer screening, and personalized recommendations for maintaining optimal oral health at home. We’ll also discuss any concerns you may have about your smile.
Most dental insurance plans provide excellent coverage for preventive services like routine cleanings and examinations, often covering these services at 100%. Our team will verify your benefits and help you understand your coverage before your appointment.
Dr. Pauley recommends brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, using an antimicrobial mouthwash, and maintaining a balanced diet low in sugary and acidic foods. We’ll provide personalized recommendations based on your specific needs and oral health status.
We understand dental anxiety is common, and Dr. Pauley takes extra time to ensure your comfort throughout every visit. We explain each step of your treatment, encourage questions, and work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Our goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience.
In addition to routine cleanings and examinations, we offer fluoride treatments, dental sealants, custom mouthguards for sports protection, and comprehensive oral health education. Dr. Pauley will recommend additional preventive measures based on your individual risk factors and lifestyle.
Just as Dr. Pauley approaches his hobbies with careful attention to detail and precision, he brings that same dedication to your dental care. Every procedure follows meticulous protocols to ensure optimal results, whether it’s crafting the perfect crown or achieving the ideal shade for your whitening treatment.
We believe in taking the time to do things right—no shortcuts, no rushed appointments. Dr. Pauley’s background as a Lincoln native who understands the community means that you’re not just another patient; you’re a neighbor and friend deserving of exceptional care.
