Preventive Dentistry in Scottsdale, AZ

Preventive dentistry in Scottsdale starts with finding a practice that goes beyond the basics. At DMD Dental & Wellness, Dr. Erika Du Mond combines comprehensive exams, advanced diagnostics, and an integrative oral-systemic philosophy to protect your health before problems develop.

What We Offer

What Is Preventive Dentistry?

Preventive dentistry is the foundation of lasting oral health. Rather than waiting for decay, gum disease, or structural damage to develop, a proactive approach focuses on early detection, routine maintenance, and personalized treatment to keep your mouth healthy and your body protected.

At DMD Dental & Wellness, we take prevention further — connecting oral health to systemic wellness through advanced diagnostics and integrative care.

Our preventive approach goes beyond standard cleanings and exams. Dr. Du Mond incorporates bacterial pathogen testing, genetic screening, cone beam 3D imaging, ozone therapy, and oral cancer screenings into her protocols. Combined with laser dentistry capabilities and wellness therapies, this comprehensive methodology identifies risks that traditional dental offices often miss — giving you the information and treatment you need before small concerns become costly problems.

Every preventive visit at our North Scottsdale office is personalized. We take the time to understand your health history, evaluate your current condition in detail, and build a care plan that supports your long-term wellness goals. If an issue does require treatment, we offer the full spectrum of care from restorative dentistry to cosmetic solutions — all under one roof.

Benefits & Outcomes

Why Preventive Dentistry Matters

Investing in prevention today protects your health, your smile, and your wallet for years to come.

01

Catch Problems Early

Comprehensive exams and advanced imaging detect cavities, gum disease, bone loss, and oral pathology before they progress into painful, complex conditions requiring invasive treatment.

02

Protect Systemic Health

Oral bacteria and chronic gum inflammation are linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes complications, and cognitive decline. Preventive care at DMD addresses these systemic connections directly.

03

Reduce Long-Term Costs

A preventive exam and cleaning costs a fraction of a root canal, crown, or implant procedure. Consistent preventive care is the most cost-effective approach to dental health over a lifetime.

04

Personalized Monitoring

With genetic testing and bacterial pathogen analysis, we monitor your unique risk factors over time — adjusting your plan as your health evolves instead of applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

How It Works

Your Preventive Visit at DMD

1

Comprehensive Assessment

We begin with a detailed health history review, digital x-rays, and a thorough oral examination. For new patients, cone beam 3D imaging provides a complete diagnostic picture.

2

Advanced Diagnostics

Based on your assessment, Dr. Du Mond may recommend bacterial pathogen testing, genetic screening, or oral cancer screening to identify risks standard exams cannot detect.

3

Professional Cleaning

Our hygiene team performs a thorough cleaning, removing plaque and calculus buildup. Ozone therapy may be incorporated to reduce harmful bacteria and support tissue healing.

4

Personalized Care Plan

You leave with a clear understanding of your oral health status and a customized plan — including recommended treatments, recall schedule, and at-home care guidance.

Common Questions

Preventive Dentistry FAQs

Most patients benefit from preventive visits every six months. However, Dr. Du Mond may recommend a different recall schedule based on your individual health profile. Patients with active gum disease, elevated pathogen levels, or certain systemic health conditions may benefit from more frequent visits to maintain optimal oral health.
Our preventive approach incorporates advanced diagnostics that most dental offices don't utilize — including bacterial pathogen testing, genetic screening for inflammatory risk, cone beam 3D imaging, and ozone therapy. We also evaluate the connection between your oral health and systemic conditions, providing a level of care that goes well beyond a standard cleaning and exam.
Bacterial pathogen testing identifies specific harmful bacteria present in your mouth that are linked to gum disease and systemic health conditions. By knowing exactly which pathogens are present, Dr. Du Mond can create targeted treatment protocols rather than relying on a generalized approach. This is particularly valuable for patients with persistent gum issues or those concerned about the oral-systemic health connection.
Yes, we accept most major dental insurance plans and handle the claims filing process for you. For patients without insurance, we offer an in-house membership plan that covers preventive services including exams, cleanings, and x-rays at an affordable annual rate. Financing options through Cherry and Proceed are also available.
Ozone therapy is a safe, natural treatment that uses medical-grade ozone to eliminate harmful bacteria, reduce inflammation, and support the body's natural healing processes. In preventive dentistry, it is used during cleanings and periodontal treatments to create a healthier oral environment without the use of antibiotics or harsh chemicals.
