Our preventive dental services in Suwanee, GA cover everything your smile needs to stay healthy long-term. At BYou Dentistry, a comprehensive preventive visit includes a professional teeth cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup, a full dental exam, X-rays when needed, an oral cancer screening, gum health evaluation, fluoride treatment when recommended, and dental sealants for patients who benefit from them. We also provide custom nightguards for patients who grind their teeth and clear aligners as part of our preventive approach to bite and alignment issues. Every visit ends with personalized home care guidance tailored to what we observe in your mouth.

For most patients, a preventive dental visit every six months is the standard recommendation — and it’s the schedule most dental insurance plans are built around. However, the right frequency depends on your individual oral health. Patients with a history of gum disease, significant tartar buildup, diabetes, or other conditions that affect oral health may benefit from visits every three to four months. At BYou Dentistry, Dr. Bui evaluates your specific situation at each appointment and recommends a schedule based on what your mouth actually needs, not a generic one-size-fits-all policy.

Yes, we offer dental sealants at BYou Dentistry in Suwanee, GA. Dental sealants are a thin protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth — the molars and premolars — where cavities most commonly develop. The deep grooves and pits on these surfaces trap food and bacteria that a toothbrush can’t fully reach. Sealants fill in those grooves, creating a smooth surface that’s much easier to keep clean and significantly more resistant to decay. They are applied in a single visit, are completely painless, and are especially beneficial for children when their permanent back teeth come in, though adults at higher risk for cavities can also benefit.

Yes. Fluoride treatments are part of our preventive dental services in Suwanee, GA. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and makes it significantly more resistant to the acid produced by bacteria that causes decay. During your visit at BYou Dentistry, Dr. Bui evaluates whether a fluoride treatment is appropriate based on your cavity risk, age, diet, and the fluoride content of your drinking water. Fluoride treatments are commonly recommended for children, but adults at higher risk for cavities — including those with dry mouth, a history of frequent decay, or certain medications — also benefit meaningfully from professional fluoride application.

Yes — at BYou Dentistry in Suwanee, GA, an oral cancer screening is included as part of every comprehensive preventive exam. During the screening, Dr. Bui carefully examines your lips, tongue, gums, cheeks, the floor and roof of the mouth, and the throat for any unusual tissue changes, lesions, or suspicious areas that may require further evaluation. Oral cancer is most treatable when caught in its earliest stages, and many patients who are diagnosed early show no symptoms beforehand. The screening takes only a few minutes and is completely painless — making it one of the most valuable parts of your routine dental visit.

Absolutely. Preventive care is especially important for patients who have been diagnosed with gum disease. At BYou Dentistry in Suwanee, GA, patients with a history of gum disease are placed on a periodontal maintenance schedule — typically visits every three to four months — that includes specialized cleaning to manage bacterial levels below the gumline, monitoring of gum pocket depths, and evaluation of healing progress. While advanced gum disease cannot be fully reversed, it can be very effectively managed with consistent preventive care, preventing further bone and tissue loss and keeping the condition stable long-term. Staying current with your periodontal maintenance visits is one of the most important things you can do to protect your remaining teeth.

Yes. BYou Dentistry works with most major dental insurance plans, including Aetna, MetLife, Humana, Guardian, United Healthcare, and many others. Most insurance plans cover preventive services — including routine cleanings, exams, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants — at little or no out-of-pocket cost, because insurers recognize that preventive care reduces the need for more expensive treatment down the line. Our team verifies your specific benefits before your appointment so there are no surprises. For patients without dental insurance, we offer flexible payment options to make preventive care accessible to every patient we see.
