At Uptown Family Dental, we believe that prevention is the key to optimal oral health. Our dedicated team of dental professionals, including Dr. Michael Moody and Dr. Brad Parker, is committed to providing comprehensive preventative dental care to our patients in a luxurious environment that invites relaxation and calm. Our top preventive dental services in Portland, OR include:
Preventive Exams and Dental Cleanings
Preventive dental check-ups allow us to monitor your oral health, detect potential issues early, and provide the best preventive treatments for your needs. When you visit us for your professional teeth cleaning, our hygienists will keep you feeling relaxed and comfortable while gently removing plaque and tartar buildup, targeting gum disease and cavities, and preserving your healthy smile.
Fluoride/Varnish Treatment
At Uptown Family Dental, Drs. Mike Moody and Brad Parker offer fluoride treatments to help strengthen your teeth and prevent decay. Fluoride is a mineral that helps remineralize tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars. Fluoride treatments contribute to enhanced enamel strength, reduced tooth sensitivity, and enhanced cavity protection.
Silver Diamine Treatment
Protect your teeth with silver diamine fluoride! At Uptown Family Dental, we offer Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) treatment, a non-invasive solution for preventing tooth decay. SDF is a liquid solution that can be applied to areas of the tooth susceptible to decay, such as cavities. Benefits of Silver Diamine fluoride include early cavity arrest, halting the progression of early stage cavities; plus a fast, easy application process and minerals that work to preserve your existing tooth structure and minimize the need for invasive treatments like dental fillings.
Desensitizing Treatments
Are you tired of experiencing pain when you eat or drink hot, cold, or sugary foods? Soothe sensitive teeth with desensitizing treatments at Uptown Dental! Sensitive teeth can significantly impact your quality of life. At Uptown Family Dental, we offer effective desensitizing treatments to alleviate your discomfort, reduce sensitivity to hot, cold, and sugary foods and drinks, strengthen tooth enamel and provide long-lasting relief.

Bruxism Mouthguards
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, can lead to a variety of dental problems, including tooth wear, jaw pain, and headaches. A custom-fitted nightguard can help protect your teeth and alleviate discomfort caused by bruxism. At Uptown Family Dental, we offer custom-made nightguards designed to fit your unique bite and jaw structure. Our nightguards are made from durable materials that can withstand the forces of teeth grinding, providing effective protection for your teeth and jaw. A nightguard can help prevent the wear and tear on your teeth caused by grinding, also helping to alleviate jaw pain and discomfort. As an added benefit, with your bruxism oral appliance, you can help reduce noise disturbances and improve sleep quality for both you and your partner.
