At Midtown Dental, we believe the best dental care is preventive care. Our comprehensive approach focuses on catching issues early, maintaining strong oral hygiene, and helping you avoid unnecessary discomfort or costly procedures later on. With the right tools, technology, and personalized guidance, we’re here to keep your smile healthy and strong for life.
From advanced digital imaging and routine cleanings to targeted treatments that address sensitivity or gum health, we offer some of Lakeland’s most trusted preventive services.
Dental Exams
Routine dental exams are the foundation of lasting oral health. During your visit, our team checks for cavities, gum disease, bite alignment, and even early signs of oral cancer. We’ll talk through any concerns, answer questions, and help you stay ahead of potential issues.
Professional Cleanings
Even with great brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar can still build up. Our dental hygienists use specialized tools to clean those hard-to-reach areas, helping prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
Beyond the fresh, clean feeling, professional cleanings support your overall health by reducing inflammation and bacterial load. You’ll leave our office with a brighter smile—and peace of mind.
Fluoride & Varnish Treatments
Fluoride varnish strengthens your enamel and protects against decay. This quick, painless treatment is brushed onto your teeth and slowly releases fluoride over time, helping remineralize weak spots. It’s effective for patients of all ages and can also reduce tooth sensitivity.
Desensitizing Treatments
If hot or cold foods make you wince, we can help. From professional-strength fluoride applications to specialized bonding agents that seal off exposed root surfaces, our dentists will assess the cause of your sensitivity and recommend the most effective solution to provide lasting relief.
Athletic Mouth Guards
If you or your child play sports, a custom-fitted mouth guard is essential. Mouth guards act as a crucial shock absorber, safeguarding your teeth, gums, lips, and even helping to reduce the risk of concussions by cushioning impacts to the jaw. Unlike store-bought options, our athletic guards are tailored to your bite for better comfort, protection, and breathability.
Halitosis (Bad Breath) Treatment
Experiencing persistent bad breath, also known as halitosis, can be uncomfortable and may indicate an underlying oral health concern. At Midtown Dental in Lakeland, FL, we offer effective solutions to help you achieve fresher breath and renewed confidence. Once we identify the root cause of the halitosis, we'll provide targeted treatments, ranging from professional deep cleanings to antimicrobial rinses or advanced therapies. We'll also provide personalized advice on at-home oral hygiene practices to help you maintain lasting fresh breath.
Mouth Guards for Bruxism
Waking up with jaw pain or headaches? You might be grinding your teeth at night—a condition called bruxism. Our custom night guards create a soft barrier between teeth to prevent damage, reduce tension, and help you sleep more comfortably. They’re clear, easy to wear, and tailored to your mouth.
Family Dentistry
We proudly care for smiles of all ages, offering a full range of services for children, teens, adults, and seniors, all in one welcoming location. From your child's first checkup to preventive care for older adults, we make it easy for families in Lakeland to get the consistent, compassionate care they deserve.
