McCreight Progressive Dentistry strives to deliver the best dental care possible in Northwest Colorado. Our dental practice focus is on preventive dentistry providing care for all ages. With all the modern advances in dental care we believe prevention of the disease is more comfortable, less costly and more enjoyable for all concerned. After learning how to be healthy dentally, problems can be kept to a minimum.
McCreight Progressive Dentistry Hygiene Department (Shelley Parsons and Debbie Sherman-Hurst) has a combined clinical experience of 41 years with an implemented Soft Tissue Program to help patients take better care of their teeth and gums.
Your first appointment will focus on what your goals and chief concerns of dental treatment are and to assess what needs you may have through a clinical and radiographic (x-rays) exam. This comprehensive exam will include an oral cancer screening of the conditions of you exam to check the mouth and throat. The teeth will be examined for cavities and "old fillings" will be evaluated for possible leakage or breakage. The gums and other soft tissues will be examined for color, texture, and bleeding to determine if periodontal disease or gum disease may be present. We will also evaluate how the teeth fit together (TMJ/jaw joint evaluation) and to see in adolescence if the permanent teeth have enough room to grow. We can accurately treatment plan each patient with this comprehensive exam.
At a separate appointment recommendations and needs will be discussed and reviewed so that you are aware of the conditions of your mouth and your general oral health.
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or oral sedation is available to patients who are extremely anxious about dentistry.
