Preventative Dentistry
At the core of our Preventative Dentistry services is a commitment to proactive oral care. We focus on comprehensive examinations and a range of preventive measures to keep your smile radiant and healthy.
Comprehensive Examinations
All of our new patients receive a thorough examination of their overall oral health.
This includes an in-depth review of current/past medical and dental history, evaluation of the TMJ, oral cancer screening, and a focused evaluation of both the teeth and periodontium.
This also often includes a radiographic evaluation (x-rays) and may also include intra-oral scanning to track surface changes on the teeth over time.
Oral Prophylaxis
(“Routine Dental Cleanings”)
Our routine dental cleanings are recommended in 6-month, 4-month, or 3-month intervals based on customized recommendations to prevent oral disease and maintain oral health.
Our Hygienist re-evaluate the current status of your oral health at each visit, makes patient specific home care recommendations, and offers specialized products to help with self management of oral health between professional visits.
Scaling and Root Planing
(“Deep Cleanings”)
For our patients who have significant tartar/calculus that is attached to the roots below the gums, a professional deep cleaning is often necessary. This type of cleaning is focused on a particular area of the mouth and performed to treat deep gum pockets.
Once these problem areas are meticulously cleaned, and followed by proper home care, we are able to shrink the deep pockets to reduced gingivitis and return the gums to their healthy state.
Night Guards
Our custom-made night guards are designed to both protect our patients from nighttime grinding (“Buxism”) and stabilize the jaw joints (TMJ).
These appliances are made using an evidence based approach to maintaining long term jaw comfort with protection against tooth wear.
Sports Guards
Popularized by NBA star Stephen Curry, we offer customized sports guards in various colors and designs for protection of the teeth during contact sports or heavy clenching during exercise.
In-Office Fluoride Treatments
Our in-office topical fluoride treatments are placed on the teeth after a routine dental cleaning for patients who are at risk for developing tooth decay.
These topical treatments have proven to significantly reduce the risk of developing future decay and help to remineralize softened enamel to develop harder and more decay resistant teeth.
Custom Home Care Packages
Our recommended home care products are customized based on the specific needs of our patients. This may include specific types of toothpaste, floss, mouth rinse, toothbrushes, water picks, chewing gum, mints, interdental brushes, chapstick, etc.
Our entire team is trained to provide the best recommendations for the specific needs of our patients
Sealants
Dental Sealants are often recommended for teeth that have very deep grooves that trap food and lead to cavities.
With this pain-less numbing-free procedure, we are able to clean out the grooves with a process called microparticle air-abrasion and then the grooves are sealed over with a composite resin to allow food to slip off the tooth and reduce the risk for decay.
De-Sensitization
For patients that come to us with teeth that are sensitive to cold, hot, touch, biting, etc., we start by evaluating the cause of the sensitivity and then offer a variety of different solutions.
We often can reduce sensitivity in one or more different ways with both treatments and/or topical medicaments.
What our patients say
I've been going to the same dentist since I was around 5 years old. At the time, Piedmont Advanced Dentistry was ran by the late Dr. Cobb who was an exceptional Dentist. When Dr. Sabo took over the business, that prior excellency was perfectly matched. And I'd even go as far to say that he's surpassed the legacy. On behalf of Dr. Cobb's prior patients, I'd like to say we all welcomed Dr. Sabo with open arms and have not once felt dissatisfied. Dr. Sabo and his facility are top drawer, and I'd recommend him to anybody!
Dr. Sabo is the best dentist ever! He has the best chair side manner I have ever experienced. He is warm and really cares about his patients. Not only is he amazing, but the entire staff from the receptionist to the hygienists, to the assistants are all warm and friendly. Don’t let his youthful good looks fool you, he has many, many years of experience and is a very skilled dentist. Check him out! 😊👍🏽
Dr. Sabo & the team at Piedmont Advanced Dentistry work hard to take the best care of their patients. The energy in the office is upbeat, cheerful & customer focused from scheduling to the actual appointment. Even if you don’t like going to the Dentist’s office you will appreciate and enjoy working with Dr. Sabo & the staff at Piedmont Advanced Dentistry.
Great experience from the moment I walked in. Staff is friendly. The Dr. is thorough and explains what he sees. It is important to me to be able to communicate my needs as well as understand what the Dr. sees and wants to do. They are gentle, thorough and nice.
I've had the great good fortune to have Dr. Sabo as my new dentist. I've had two procedures performed by the doctor, both times I felt I was in gentle, competent hands. The second procedure was more involved, filling in recession areas on several teeth - I could not be happier with the results! My teeth look beautiful, very natural - I can smile again with confidence. Dr. Sabo is a true artist at his craft.
I saw Dr. Sabo at Piedmont Advanced Dentistry. I really like the experience. It was really welcoming. I had some tea, and looked around. I liked the looks of the clinic and everyone seemed really happy that was working while I was in there. Dr. Sabo does an awesome job. He is always 100 % there for me. He is one of the best dentists around. Advanced Dentistry is an understatement, it should be called Phenomenal Dentistry!!! You’re in good hands with Dr. Sabo. I’d personally get in now before some television stars swoops him up and he’s too famous to get into. (Just saying) This place is 5 stars!
I had a great experience with Dr. Sabo and his team. They are professional, attentive and friendly. I have problems with my Teeth, which i was told would cost me a lot (over $10000) to fix. So I went to Dr. Sabo for a consultation. Dr. Sabo was thorough in his checking of my list of problems and addressed my concerns with a sequence of needed affordable solutions. I am very pleased.
Dr. Sabo has excellent skills, performs detailed work carefully, efficiently and my teeth look great! And he explains problems so that I understand them - an excellent communicator. And kind. Lucky to have him as my dentist.
I really like Dr Sabo. He gives a really thorough exam and carefully explains your oral health and treatment plan. He works well with older adults. Highly recommend.
Dr. Sabo was phenomenal, friendly, patient, extremely knowledgeable, kind, and I found he listened to my needs and concerns. Tia, Daisy and Olivia are absolutely amazing people on his staff!!! I highly recommend!!
My 93 year old father went to Piedmont Advanced Dentistry for a cleaning and to have a crown repaired. The staff was wonderful, kind and helpful. My father can be difficult, and they were very good with him. We were very pleased and look forward to going back.
I’m always happy with the service here. Just two years ago the previous owner passed away and I had been a patient for 20 years. The new leadership is fantastic! He’s friendly, competent, and is young. I just had Olivia as a dental hygienist and she was great. She gave me pointers on how I can improve my dental care. The office got a needed upgrade and they use technology in a useful way. I highly recommend them.
Dr. Sabo is an excellent dentist with wonderful staff! I highly recommend his practice for general dentistry.
I have been going to this practice for close to 40 years. Dr. Sabo recently bought the practice after my dentist passed away. I was a bit nervous about seeing a new dentist and whether or not he would be as personable, and more importantly, do the same caliber of work as Dr Cobb. I spent 2.5 hours in the chair today and was very pleased with how it went. I’ve also been in a time or two for cleanings and found the staff to be pleasant and professional. As well, the office has been updated and it is a nice environment. Dr. S also has very excellent credentials. I highly recommend him and the practice.
