The connection between oral health and overall health is a strong one.

Prevention is always the best course of action here, so our general dentistry services are designed to keep you ahead of the situation and on track for long-lasting dental health. From comprehensive exams to spot signs of trouble to hygiene visits, fluoride treatments, and more, you’ll be in good hands at Bedford Dental Care.
General Dentistry Options
This is where it all starts with regard to good oral health. Through the comprehensive exam process, the team at Bedford Dental Care will be able to identify what issues you might be facing and determine which treatments are going to make sense to meet those needs. Call today to schedule an exam and get started on the road to ideal dental health.
One of the most important things we do at Bedford Dental Care is to screen our patients for any signs of oral cancer. Although these cases are rare, a quick and comfortable screening is important to potentially catch concerning signs early on, so the issue can be treated successfully.
Modern X-ray technology allows dentists to get an excellent view of the patient’s teeth and jaw. With such clear pictures available, it will then be simple to determine a personalized treatment plan that will enable you to reach your oral health goals as soon as possible.
Specifically, our Guided Biofilm Therapy service is unlike any cleaning you’ve had before. First, a warm, gentle powerwash is used to successfully remove biofilm, a layer of bacteria that can harden into tartar and may also lead to gingivitis and periodontal disease. Then, the hardened tartar is removed with Piezo technology and heated water, leaving the teeth spotless.
Our bone and gums are the foundation for our smiles. When gingivitis progresses to periodontal disease we lose the health of our foundation. We offer customized periodontal treatments to improve your gum health and avoid more serious issues down the line.
Strong teeth are important if you are going to keep smiling and chewing happily for many years to come. Applying fluoride to the teeth can help to strengthen the tooth enamel and prevent decay. Have this treatment completed in our office for excellent results and an enjoyable overall experience.
There are two main uses for mouthguards – they are often used when playing sports to protect the teeth from damage, and many people wear them at night to address issues with bruxism (grinding the teeth). Have yours prepared in our dental office to ensure it meets your needs and fits perfectly.
Do you or your bedpartner snore? If so, this is a huge risk factor for sleep apnea. Just like smoking, there is secondhand sleep apnea, meaning even if you don’t snore, your health can still be affected.
The most well-known treatment for sleep apnea is the CPAP. Not everyone can tolerate it, though, and that is where a custom medical-grade oral appliance can be used as an alternative.
Oral sleep appliances have been successfully used to treat mild and moderate sleep apnea for years. In November 2023, the FDA approved them for use in treating even severe sleep apnea.
Get the rest you and your family deserve by considering an oral sleep appliance. Call Bedford Dental Care today to discuss your options and to schedule an appointment.
Comfort is a critical part of what we do for our patients at Bedford Dental Care. We want everyone to have a positive experience in our office from start to finish, and sometimes, that means using sedation strategically to make patients comfortable while receiving the treatment needed to solve any dental issue. Depending on the level of sedation you are looking for, we have a dental anesthesiologist in our office to make your experience a great one.
An oral health emergency can be particularly traumatic and often quite painful. We don’t want anyone to be in dental pain for any longer than necessary, so patients and non-patients alike are welcome to give us a call when an emergency situation arises. We’ll get you in to resolve your pain as soon as possible.
