Professional Dental Cleanings
A ROUTINE ESSENTIAL FOR ORAL HEALTH
Regular dental cleanings are the cornerstone of oral health. At Allred Family Dentistry, our professional cleanings go beyond freshening your breath—they’re essential for removing plaque, reducing your risk of decay, and keeping your gums healthy. Cleanings help to reach areas regular brushing and flossing can miss, leaving your mouth feeling refreshed and ensuring a solid foundation for your teeth and gums.

Oral Cancer Screenings
VITAL SCREENINGS FOR EARLY DETECTION
Early detection of oral cancer can be life-saving, and that’s why we perform thorough oral cancer screenings for our patients. Using visualization and palpation techniques, we check for unusual tissue changes, lumps, or abnormalities that might indicate disease. These screenings are quick, noninvasive, and included in our comprehensive evaluations to protect your long-term health.
Fluoride Varnish
STRENGTHENS ENAMEL FOR CAVITY PROTECTION
Our fluoride varnish treatments are designed to strengthen tooth enamel and offer extra protection against cavities, especially for those more prone to decay. Safe and effective for all ages, fluoride varnish is a quick, painless way to give your smile added defense against decay. It encourages the remineralization of your teeth to resist acid attacks from food and drink.
Dental Sealants
EXTRA PROTECTION FOR HARD-TO-REACH AREAS
Dental sealants provide an added layer of defense on the surfaces of your back teeth, where deep grooves can trap food particles and bacteria, leading to cavities. By sealing these grooves, this treatment minimizes the risk of decay. Sealants are especially valuable for children with newly erupted molars, but they can benefit adults, too, offering long-term protection with minimal upkeep.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
NATURAL-LOOKING CAVITY REPAIR
To treat cavities without compromising your smile, we offer tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Made of durable composite material, these fillings not only restore the tooth’s function, but are also aesthetically pleasing. Tooth-colored fillings are a popular choice at Allred Family Dentistry because they’re mercury-free and adhere securely, ensuring both function and form.
Root Canal Treatments
FOCUSING ON COMFORT AND RELIEF
Root canal treatments are essential when an infection reaches the tooth’s pulp, causing pain and risking further infection. At Allred Family Dentistry, we perform root canal treatments on anterior and premolar teeth and we have a gentle and thorough approach to saving your natural tooth. With local anesthesia and careful techniques, we ensure comfort and relief, allowing you to resume daily activities pain-free.
Dental Crowns
QUALITY CROWNS FOR LONG-LASTING RESULTS
Crowns restore the strength and appearance of teeth that are too damaged for fillings. Crafted from quality materials like porcelain, e.max, zirconia, porcelain fused to metal, and occasionally gold, our crowns are built to last and designed to blend naturally with surrounding teeth. To ensure a perfect fit, we use traditional impressions—capturing every contour of your tooth for a result that feels comfortable and natural.
Periodontal Therapy
TARGETED CARE FOR GUM HEALTH
Gum disease, if left untreated, can lead to serious health issues, such as jawbone loss and tooth decay. Our periodontal therapy focuses on controlling infection, reducing inflammation, and preventing further damage to the gums and supporting bone. Whether you need a deep cleaning or ongoing periodontal maintenance, Allred Family Dentistry is dedicated to improving your gum health and overall well-being.
Tooth Extraction
SAFE REMOVAL FOR A HEALTHY MOUTH
When a tooth can’t be restored, extraction becomes necessary to protect the surrounding teeth and gums. At Allred Family Dentistry, we make the process as comfortable as possible, providing detailed post-care instructions to support your healing. Our team is here to answer any questions you may have, helping you feel confident and prepared about treatment.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
RELIEF FOR IMPACTED OR CROWDED TEETH
Wisdom teeth often cause crowding or become impacted, leading to pain or infection. When these issues arise, removal is often the best solution. Our skilled team at Allred Family Dentistry offers gentle wisdom tooth extractions, reducing your risk of future complications and helping you recover comfortably.
Nightguards and Mouth Guards
CUSTOM-FITTED FOR ULTIMATE PROTECTION
We offer custom-made nightguards and mouth guards to protect the teeth from damage. Nightguards can prevent long-term damage to teeth caused by grinding, while mouth guards protect teeth from impact during athletic activities. We take detailed impressions to tailor your guard so that it fits comfortably and securely, protecting your teeth without feeling bulky or intrusive.
Sedation
OPTIONS TO HELP YOU RELAX
We understand dental visits can be stressful for some patients. At Allred Family Dentistry, we offer sedation options to help you feel at ease during your appointment. Choose from nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or oral sedation, depending on your comfort level and treatment needs. These options make it easier to relax and experience a calm, comfortable visit.
