Preventive Dentistry
Our dentists prevent oral conditions by customizing preventive treatment plans for each patient based on their changing needs.
Preventive dentistry includes:
- Comprehensive dental exams
- Professional dental cleanings
- Diagnostic dental x-rays
- Fluoride treatments
- Dental sealants
- Athletic mouthguards
- Nightguards (for clenching and grinding)
For most patients, we recommend dental exams and teeth cleanings approximately every six months. This guideline, however, is for healthy patients with few dental conditions who do not have periodontal disease. To keep gum disease under control, we may recommend more frequent dental cleanings.
Patients with medical conditions such as diabetes and pregnancy or those who have issues with dexterity may also find dental cleanings every few months highly beneficial.
Keeping your preventive dentistry appointments is the best insurance policy when it comes to a comfortable and healthy smile.
Why Our Dentists Recommend Digital X-Rays
Sometimes patients perceive dental x-rays as an unnecessary expense. At Pallotto Dental Care, we want you to know that we take only the x-rays necessary to assist with an accurate diagnosis of dental conditions including decay, cysts, tumors, bone levels, infection, and fractured teeth. It is not a good idea to put off diagnostic x-rays because they provide our dentists with vital information about your oral health and how it changes over time.
Digital dental x-rays produce far less radiation than x-rays from the past. You can absorb more radiation walking outside on a sunny day than having yearly x-rays that may save your teeth.
Digital x-rays are easy to track and compare over time. With the click of a mouse, we can review your images and note changes in bone density and decay, determine how wisdom teeth will erupt, and identify many other dental conditions. We also rely on 3-D cone beam technology, which allows us to deliver more successful dental implant treatment and more precise extractions.
Call our office to learn more about digital x-rays or to schedule your dental cleaning today.
General Dentistry For Families
Patients are keeping their natural teeth longer than ever because of fluoride treatments and advanced knowledge about the importance of good oral health. With proper care, it is possible to avoid dentures.
Few patients, however, can avoid having at least one dental restoration throughout their lives. Fillings and dental crowns repair damaged teeth and extend their vitality.
Eliminate Tooth Decay With Dental Fillings
A dental filling is how we repair a tooth after removing decay. At Pallotto Dental Care, we use tooth-colored fillings so that smiles look completely natural. Tooth-colored fillings, or composites, allow us to treat decay more conservatively and only remove the damaged tooth structure. Our dentists will match the composite to the patient’s tooth shade, so the filling is virtually invisible.
If you have a cavity that you would like us to take a look at, please call us to schedule an appointment.
Dental Crowns Protect Damaged Teeth
Dental crowns, sometimes called “caps”, cover the tooth structure after deep decay, a cracked tooth, or a root canal. As with fillings, esthetic options are a popular choice. Crowns provide structural support by absorbing the force from chewing.
At Pallotto Dental Care, we design and customize beautiful, durable dental crowns that strengthen and protect your teeth and enhance the beauty of your smile.
State-Of-The-Art Tooth Replacement
Despite our best efforts, sometimes removing a tooth is the best approach to protect a patient’s smile. We offer fixed dental bridges, dental implants, partial dentures, complete dentures, and implant-retained dentures in Lansing to restore the appearance and function of a patient’s smile after an extraction.
If you would like to replace missing teeth, we have the solution you need. Please call us to schedule an appointment to learn more about your options.

Sometimes patients come to our dental office wishing to improve their smile. A full range of cosmetic dentistry options provide our patients with their dream smile:
- Teeth whitening
- Cosmetic dental bonding
- Porcelain veneers
- Invisible braces
- Full smile makeovers
