Preventive Dentistry
The best way to maintain dental and oral health is to be sure to take care of your smile each and every day. Our team strives to prevent dental issues from occurring, which can ultimately help save our patients time, money, and pain. From routine cleanings and digital x-rays to fluoride treatments, dental sealants, mouthguards, and more, we provide services that can keep your smile healthy and refreshed. We recommend that patients visit the dentist at least twice a year in order to best protect their smiles!
Family Dental Care
Dr. Bell and our team provide dental care for patients of all ages, including the youngest members of the family! We understand that children may get nervous visiting the dentist for the first time. Our goal is to help children achieve the foundations that will lead to a healthy adult smile while providing an environment that is both fun and comfortable. Our family dental care services include routine cleanings and exams, fillings, sealants, and more for children and adults alike.
Our goal is to supply gentle, comprehensive family dental care in a welcoming environment where patients of all ages feel at home. Whether it’s your child’s first dental visit or if it’s a routine exam for an adult, we tailor our care to meet your family’s unique needs. Preventive appointments help children develop healthy habits early on, while adults can benefit from personalized treatment plans designed to preserve long-term oral health. Dr. Bell and our team focus on building relationships, encouraging preventive habits, and making sure every member of your family looks forward to their next visit.
Check-Ups and Cleanings
These visits are the foundation of a healthy smile. During your check-up, we’ll take a close look at your teeth, gums, and jaw to spot any early signs of issues like cavities or gum disease. Our cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can’t reach—leaving your mouth feeling refreshed.
It’s also a great time to ask questions and get tips on how to take care of your smile at home. A little prevention goes a long way!
“I have always been picky with my dental care from a very young age due to having so many teeth issues growing up. Moving here it took me a couple years to find a good fit for me. The first time I stepped into Bell Dental I knew this was the place for me. They have met and exceeded our expectations from scheduling, to customer care, follow up, and scheduling. They take such good care oft two boys and they love coming to visit every 6 months! This is what you would expect from a local dental office and you can’t beat the customer service they provide. They will have our business for as long as we are here in the area. Thank you all for being the best dental team in NWA… (I may be biased)”
Scaling and Root Planing
If we catch signs of gum disease, scaling and root planing (also known as a ‘deep cleaning”) can help get things back on track. This non-surgical treatment removes plaque and bacteria below the gum line and smooths the roots of your teeth, helping your gums heal and reattach.
It’s one of the most effective ways to slow the progression of gum disease in its tracks and keep your mouth healthy and strong.
Bone & Gum Care for Periodontal Disease
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common but serious condition that affects the tissues and bone supporting your teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss. Advanced bone and gum care options can help manage and treat all stages of periodontal disease. Using thorough diagnostic tools, we will assess your gum health and create a treatment plan that may include scaling and root planing, antimicrobial therapies, and ongoing maintenance to keep your gums—and your smile—healthy.
