General & Family Dentistry in Billerica

Teeth Cleanings

Teeth Cleanings are one of the most essential general and family dentistry services we provide to our Billerica families. While regular brushing and flossing are crucial for maintaining good oral health, they can’t always prevent plaque buildup entirely.

That’s where Future of Dentistry in Billerica excels. We use gentle, effective techniques to clean plaque from your teeth, preventing serious oral health issues and helping preserve your overall health.

Don’t worry! We see both adults and children of all ages. As a family dentistry practice, we offer teeth cleanings for every member of your household. We even provide “Happy Visits” for your one-year-old, introducing them to the fun side of dentistry and establishing a positive foundation for their oral health.

Bring your family to Future of Dentistry in Billerica for top-quality teeth cleanings today! Call (978-663-4303) to schedule your family’s first appointment with our Billerica Dentists, and rest assured knowing your family’s oral health will always be safeguarded.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer claims a life every hour in the United States, yet it is 80 to 90 percent curable when diagnosed and treated early. This cancer can develop on the floor of the mouth, cheeks, tongue, gums, lips, and throat.

Tragically, nearly half of those diagnosed with oral cancer succumb to the disease within five years, largely because only 35 percent of cases are identified in the early stages.

At Future of Dentistry in Billerica, we are committed to preventing you or your loved ones from becoming part of these statistics. This is why we offer thorough oral cancer screenings to all of our patients as part of our comprehensive dental care.

Our dentists and hygienists are highly trained and equipped with advanced technology to conduct thorough oral cancer screenings. In addition to a detailed visual examination, we utilize the VELscope Oral Assessment System, an FDA-approved device that enhances our ability to detect oral cancer accurately.

Prioritize your family’s health with regular oral cancer screenings at Future of Dentistry in Billerica. Your family’s well-being is our top priority.

VELscope

VELscope is a cutting-edge, handheld device that uses black-light technology to highlight potential problem areas in your mouth that might otherwise go unnoticed. This advanced tool allows our dentists and hygienists to identify and evaluate abnormalities with greater accuracy.

During the screening, if any lesions or signs of oral cancer are detected, our dental team will determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

The VELscope exam is quick, simple, and comfortable, taking less than one minute. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment, and we are here to help you stay healthy.

Saliva Testing

Saliva testing is another advanced diagnostic tool we use at Future of Dentistry in Billerica to enhance your oral health care. Through salivary testing, we can assess your risk for periodontal disease and certain HPV-related oral cancers.

Additionally, this test helps us pinpoint the cause of periodontal infections.

Our dentists utilize this discreet and effective tool to diagnose issues accurately and provide targeted treatments, improving the health and smiles of our patients and community members one step at a time.

Take advantage of these advanced screening options to protect your family’s oral and overall health. Call (978-663-4303) or visit Future of Dentistry in Billerica for comprehensive care and early detection of potential issues.
