Comprehensive Dental Exams: Full evaluations of your oral cavity to monitor dental health and personalize your care.“I’m a 42yr old who has gone to dentists a lot over the years and I have to say Dr. Rudnick was exceptional! His bedside manner was professional but not robotic. He explained everything in such detail that I can actually visualize it. I also want to mention the office staff was just as polite and informative. Thank you.”

Comprehensive Dental Health Exams for Early Detection
During your general visit, we perform a complete dental health evaluation, including a detailed inspection of your oral cavity. This thorough assessment allows us to monitor your dental health closely, identifying early signs of gum disease, cavities, and other concerns that may compromise your oral and systemic well-being.
We also screen for signs of oral cancer and check for structural changes that could indicate more serious issues. By addressing your oral health needs proactively, we can create a care plan that is personalized and preventive.
Our dental office is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools that allow our dental team to deliver efficient, accurate care in a comfortable setting. These comprehensive exams are a cornerstone of lifelong dental health, helping you stay ahead of problems and maintain confidence in your smile.
Preventive Dentistry: Regular Cleanings & Fluoride Treatments
Preventive dentistry plays a vital role in maintaining not only a bright smile but also your overall health. Routine cleanings help protect your teeth and gums from decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Research has shown a strong link between oral health and systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes, making consistent preventive care an essential part of your wellness routine.
During each preventive visit, our dental hygienists thoroughly clean your teeth and gums to remove plaque and tartar buildup. This helps reduce your risk of cavities and gum infections. Following your cleaning, Dr. Rudnick conducts a detailed examination to identify any signs of wear, decay, or other concerns early—ensuring your oral health needs are addressed before problems become serious.
Benefits of Preventive Dentistry:
- Early Detection of Issues: Identifies cavities, gum disease, and other concerns before they require more extensive treatments.
- Prevents Tooth Decay: Routine cleanings help remove plaque and tartar, reducing the risk of tooth decay and cavities.
- Maintains Gum Health: Prevents the development of gingivitis and periodontitis, which can impact your overall health if left untreated.
- Saves Time and Money: Addressing issues early helps avoid more costly and time-consuming procedures down the road.
- Protects Overall Health: Reduces the risk of systemic conditions linked to oral health, such as heart disease, stroke, and respiratory issues.
- Educates on Proper Oral Hygiene: Provides personalized advice on brushing, flossing, and diet to maintain a healthy smile at home.
With a focus on preventive care, Rudnick Dentistry helps you maintain optimal oral health and a radiant smile while supporting your overall well-being.
Root Planing & Scaling for Gum Disease
If you’re experiencing early signs of gum disease, root planing and scaling may be recommended to clean below the gumline. These deep-cleaning techniques remove harmful buildup and bacteria from below and around your gums to promote healthier gums. Treating periodontal disease early supports your long-term dental health and reduces the need for more invasive procedures.
Restorative Treatments: Inlays, Onlays, and Fillings
We offer fillings, inlays, and onlays. When decay or damage affects a tooth but is too extensive for a simple filling, inlays and onlays offer a reliable solution.
- Fillings: We use tooth-colored dental fillings to restore teeth affected by minor cavities or damage. Our materials are durable to give you long-lasting results.
- Inlays: An inlay is used when damage is confined to the top surfaces of a tooth. An inlay fills in the space between the cusps. It’s an excellent option for restoring a decayed or cracked tooth while maintaining its natural strength.
- Onlays: An onlay is used for larger areas of damage that extend beyond the top surface, covering one or more of the tooth’s cusps. Sometimes referred to as a partial crown, an onlay provides a stronger and more durable solution than a traditional filling.
Both inlays and onlays are crafted from composite resin, porcelain, or ceramic to match the natural color of your teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.
Protect Your Smile with Custom Mouth Guards
Whether you grind your teeth or play sports, protecting your smile is key to avoiding dental injuries and enamel wear.
- Sports Mouth Guards: If you play a contact sport, you are at risk of dental injuries, such as chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth. A custom sports mouth guard can prevent these injuries by providing a cushioning barrier between your teeth and any impact. Unlike over-the-counter options, our custom mouth guards are made to fit your unique bite, offering maximum comfort and protection.
- Nightguards for Bruxism: Teeth grinding (bruxism) is a common condition that can cause significant damage to your teeth over time. It often occurs while you sleep, leading to worn-down teeth, jaw pain, and headaches. A custom nightguard is designed to fit comfortably over your teeth while you sleep, providing a protective barrier that prevents grinding and clenching.
At Rudnick Dentistry, we use digital scanners and 3D printers to create precise and comfortable mouth guards. With this advanced technology, there’s no need for uncomfortable, messy impressions. Instead, the process is simple and leads to an accurate fit.

Advanced Technology
Why Are X-Rays Important?
X-rays play a vital role in preventive dentistry, allowing us to see beyond what is visible to the naked eye. They help detect issues such as:
- Cavities developing between teeth
- Bone loss from gum disease
- Impacted teeth or abnormal growths
- Structural issues with the jawbone
We use advanced CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) scanners for enhanced diagnostic capabilities when needed. This technology provides 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures, offering a precise and thorough evaluation.
Laser Dentistry for Comfort & Precision
Laser dentistry has transformed the way many dental procedures are performed, offering increased comfort, precision, and faster healing times. At Rudnick Dentistry, we use specialized lasers for a range of treatments, including:
- Cavity Removal: Lasers allow us to remove decayed tissue precisely, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
- Gum Contouring: If you have a “gummy” smile or uneven gum line, laser contouring can reshape the gums for a more balanced appearance.
- Soft Tissue Treatments: Lasers can treat cold sores, remove excess gum tissue, and help manage periodontal disease with minimal discomfort.
Laser treatments are often quicker and more comfortable than traditional methods, with less need for anesthesia and a shorter recovery time. It’s one of the many ways we make your dental experience as pleasant as possible.
