Your oral health plays a major role in your overall well-being, and routine professional cleanings and hygiene visits are the foundation of maintaining a healthy smile. At Stony Creek Dentistry in Noblesville, IN, we offer thorough dental cleanings designed to remove plaque, tartar, and buildup that brushing and flossing simply can’t address alone.

Digital x-rays are safe, quick, and comfortable. Using the latest technology, we can create crisp, high-resolution images of your mouth’s structure, so we can make accurate diagnoses and treatment plans. Digital x-rays use only a fraction of the radiation as traditional film x-rays, so you can rest easy. Most patients receive one or two full sets of x-rays every year, but we may recommend additional imaging in the case of a dental emergency, or if we find an oral health issue that we need to investigate further.

Fluoride treatments are one of the best ways to keep dental decay at bay. A simple, non-invasive procedure, fluoride treatments help to keep your enamel strong. After your cleaning, we’ll apply a fluoride-rich varnish or gel; we may ask you to refrain from eating or drinking anything for 30 minutes or so following your visit. Fluoride helps strengthen the enamel, making it more resistant to acids from plaque, bacteria, and sugary foods that cause cavities.

While often associated with children's dentistry, adults can benefit just as much from this proven preventive treatment. Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the deep grooves of your back teeth where decay often starts. Even with diligent brushing, these microscopic crevices can trap food and bacteria. Dental sealants create a smooth, protective barrier that's nearly invisible and can last for years, significantly reducing your risk of cavities. It's a quick, painless procedure that can save you time and money by preventing more extensive dental work down the road. If you're cavity-prone or want to take a proactive approach to your dental health, ask us about whether sealants could be right for you.

We focus on keeping your gums healthy through personalized periodontal care designed to prevent, detect, and treat gum disease. From routine cleanings and thorough evaluations to advanced treatment options, we’re here to support every stage of your oral health. By combining patient education with a whole-health approach, we help you maintain not just a healthy smile—but overall wellness.

Oral cancer screenings are a part of every preventive visit, and are a quick way to fortify your peace of mind. Through consistent exams, we can catch oral cancer early on, which gives us a better chance at treating it before it spreads. A routine oral cancer screening can even save your life!

Unconscious teeth grinding and clenching, known as bruxism, is a common issue that tends to happen at night while patients are asleep. However, night guards can help patients alleviate symptoms of bruxism by creating a barrier between your teeth that protects them from grinding-related damage. Depending on the severity of the case, night guards can be made from several different materials with varying degrees of softness.

Airway appliance treatment uses a custom-fit oral device to gently reposition the jaw and tongue, helping keep the airway open and breathing smooth during sleep. It’s a comfortable, non-invasive option that can reduce snoring and support those with mild to moderate sleep apnea who are looking for an alternative to CPAP.

PerioProtect™ is a non-invasive, at-home treatment designed to help manage chronic gum disease between dental visits. Using custom-fit trays that deliver a professional-strength antimicrobial gel deep below the gumline, it targets the bacteria responsible for inflammation, infection, and bone loss. Patients typically wear the trays for just a few minutes each day, making it a simple and convenient way to support long-term oral health. In addition to reducing bleeding gums and bad breath, PerioProtect™ can minimize the need for frequent deep cleanings or more invasive procedures. By lowering oral bacteria levels, it may also contribute to better systemic health—particularly for patients with diabetes, heart disease, or other inflammatory conditions. When combined with professional care, PerioProtect™ offers an effective, easy-to-use solution for keeping gum disease in check.
