My teeth were stained and had a lot of plaque.
I had a clean and treatment with Vitor, the dental hygienist and I was thoroughly impressed with the finished results.
I didn’t even need to get them whitened.

Dentists are my phobia and I always get anxious. Dr Harrison and Vitor are very professional and clearly explain what they need to do. Great results from the dental exams, hygienist clean and polish, and the ceramic inlay filling that I have had.

Without a doubt I would recommend Dr Harrison and Vitor Diogo to my family and friends. You don't have enough room for me to say just how wonderful you all are. The practitioners and staff are always courteous and helpful.

I started coming to this practice over 40 years ago. The treatment in March 2008 by the dental hygienist is the most thorough treatment I have had. I am extremely satisfied with the dental treatment I receive here and I think that the practitioners and staff are very, very helpful and friendly.

Preventive Dentistry

The dental hygiene appointment has a key role in the prevention of oral disease and maintenance of oral health.

Dental Hygienists are specially trained to perform preventive treatment and maintenance of the mouth, teeth and gums.
In addition to the traditional cleaning, the hygiene appointment has an educational factor, adjusting daily habits and specific techniques for each patient to achieve optimal oral health.

Maintaining a healthy mouth is fundamental for a healthy life and dental disease can be prevented.
Studies confirm that there is a strong link between periodontal disease and heart disease
(for more information, view this website www.mdreferrals.net/science.php).

Our Active Maintenance Program is designed to focus on the patient’s individual needs in order to prevent oral disease and maintain oral health.

Bacteria under the gum line is sometimes impossible to remove with daily home care alone. Within a few months maturing bacteria can increasingly cause problems to the teeth, the structures that support them and even the rest of the body.
Maintenance appointments vary from every 3 to 6 months depending on the individual patient’s needs.

Vitor Diogo has a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene form the University of Washington. He was trained in Portugal and the USA. Since he graduated in 2002, Vitor has been continuously providing the best, up-to-date care in oral health.

Working together with Dr Harrison to provide fully integrated dental care, Vitor can assist you to maintain your oral health for the rest of your life.

Screening for Oral Cancer
Our practice has purchased a state-of-the-art device called the VELscope Screening System. Along with our conventional oral screening exam, which includes looking inside your mouth for any lesions that might be visible to the naked eye and feeling your neck for any suspicious bumps, we can use the VELscope to literally see beneath the surface to detect potentially dangerous growths we might have otherwise missed.

Oral Cancer is too often discovered in the late stages. If it is detected in the early stages there is a 70% survival rate in the first five years, compared to 30% if the cancer has spread.

The VELscope exam takes about two minutes as part of a regular hygiene check-up, involves no pain or inconvenience and is completely safe. There is no additional charge for this service. We think you'll appreciate the peace-of-mind this screening can provide.
