O2 Dental Group of Durham provides a full spectrum of family dentistry and preventive dental services, including:

Professional Teeth Cleanings

A professional, twice-yearly dental cleaning can help keep your mouth clean and free of plaque, tartar, harmful bacteria and tooth stains that may accumulate despite regular brushing and flossing. These teeth cleaning appointments are an important preventive measure that can help stop the progression of gingivitis and periodontal disease.

Oral Cancer Screening

Tobacco users aren’t the only ones who should be concerned about oral cancer. Oral cancer is a serious condition that may occur even in patients who don't smoke or chew tobacco. That’s why at O2 Dental Group of Durham, we provide oral cancer screenings as part of our regular checkups with all of our patients over the age of 18.

Digital X-Rays

Our practice uses digital x-ray imaging to produce enhanced computer images of our patient’s teeth, gums, and other oral structures and conditions. Digital x-rays are key to early detection and effective treatment of dental problems.

Cone Beam 3D Imaging

Our team uses this advanced dental technology for precise diagnosis and dental treatment planning. Our cone beam 3D imaging system is used for dental services like:

Dental Sealants

Seal off deep grooves in the molars that are vulnerable to tooth decay with this inexpensive and effective preventive treatment. Dental sealants can guard against cavities by forming a “shield” over the enamel of your teeth, keeping out bacteria and acids. Ask about pediatric dental sealants for your kids as well!

Teeth-Strengthening Mineral Application

This common teeth-strengthening mineral treatment is used to help support your healthy tooth enamel. This treatment can re-mineralize weak areas of your tooth enamel, keeping your teeth more resilient against bacteria.

Desensitizing Treatments for Sensitive Teeth

Are you suffering from overly sensitive teeth? Ask our team which treatment options are available to treat your tooth sensitivity during your next dental appointment!

Athletic Mouth Guards

If you or your child are involved in any type of sport or athletic activity, a custom-fitted mouthguard is one of your best pieces of health insurance. Not only does it protect teeth, it also reduces the risk of concussion.

Tooth Extractions

Extraction is a last resort at O2 Dental Group of Durham, but sometimes it is necessary. Badly infected or damaged teeth can jeopardize the health of your entire mouth. If you need a tooth extracted, our dentists will walk you through the entire process, ensuring the procedure is quick and relaxing.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

The best time to have your wisdom teeth removed is during your late teenage years or early twenties. Immature wisdom teeth are smaller, so surgery is less complicated and potentially less painful. If your wisdom teeth have not yet started to erupt, we will use x-ray imaging to locate them and determine if it’s time to have them removed.
