Preventive & Wellness Care
The visits that keep you out of the chair later
Gentle cleanings and thorough checkups, never rushed.
The best dentistry is the kind you end up not needing
Regular cleanings and exams are how we catch a small cavity before it becomes a root canal, or notice gum changes while they’re still easy to reverse.
At your checkup we take our time — clean thoroughly, look closely, and actually show you what we’re seeing instead of rattling off jargon. If everything’s healthy, we’ll tell you so and send you on your way. If something needs attention, you’ll understand exactly what and why before you decide anything.

- Comprehensive exams and digital X-rays (including 3D CBCT imaging when needed)

Who we see
We care for teenagers (14 and up) and adults, in English and Spanish.
Gum health isn’t optional
Periodontal (gum) disease is far more common than most people realize — research from the CDC shows nearly half of adults over 30 have some form of it, and the risk only climbs with age. Because it’s often painless in its early stages, it’s easy to miss until it’s already advanced.
So when we recommend periodontal treatment, it isn’t a preference or an upsell — it’s a protocol grounded in the standard of care, meant to protect your health. We’ll always show you what we’re seeing and explain why a step matters; the goal is never to do more than you need, only what keeps your gums — and the rest of you — healthy.
A note from Dr. Shantall
My goal as your dentist is, oddly enough, for you to need me less. The part of dentistry that fascinates me most is understanding why teeth break down in the first place — and helping you stop small problems before they ever turn into big ones.
So at your checkups I’ll take the time to show you what I’m seeing and explain what’s actually driving it. Healthy teeth aren’t luck; they come from catching things early and understanding your own oral health.
— Dr. Shantall Di Loreto, DDS
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How often should I get a cleaning?
It depends on your gum health, not a fixed schedule. Many healthy patients do well every six months, but if there are signs of gum disease, more frequent periodontal maintenance is often what keeps things stable. We base the interval on what your gums actually need — and we’ll always explain why.
What happens at a first checkup?
A thorough exam, any X-rays or 3D imaging we need, and a plain-language conversation about what we see — healthy or not.
Do you see teenagers?
Yes — we care for teens age 14 and up, and adults.
Due for a cleaning?
Now welcoming new patients — we’ll take our time and show you what we see.
