Why Choose The
Plaque Panther for your General & Preventative
Dentistry and Mouth Guard Needs
Daily brushing and flossing isn’t enough to ensure the best condition of your teeth. Professional cleaning removes stubborn plaque that leads to decay. Inadequate removal of plaque can also lead to gum inflammation and disease. Also at each visit, Dr. Harris can evaluate your bite and alignment of teeth. As a certified Invisalign practitioner, he’s undergone special training and can evaluate when it may be best to straighten or move teeth.

Preventative Dentistry
At each six-month check-up, our dental hygienist will professionally clean and polish your teeth with specialized equipment. Then the doctor will examine your teeth, gums, soft palate, throat and neck for abnormalities. He’ll perform digital x-rays and a cancer screening.

For routine check-ups, call the office to make an appointment or the practice accepts walk-ins, too. Please bring your ID and a copy of your insurance for our records.
Cleanings & Checkups
Cleanings and Check-ups
At Plaque Panther Dentistry, the focus is on protecting and preserving your teeth through preventive measures. Not having your teeth professionally cleaned is detrimental to your long-term health and wellness. It’s important to be seen by a dentist every six months to correct problems before they become harder to fix.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral Cancer Screenings
The sooner oral cancer or precancerous lesions are detected, the better the treatment outcomes. Dr. Harris includes this screening with all check-ups as a preventive benefit to patients.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-Rays
Dr. Harris believes in the power of advanced diagnostics. He’s invested in the iTero intraoral scanner. This breakthrough equipment pushes the boundaries of obtaining the best picture of the teeth, gums, jaw and mouth. He uses the high-tech wand to capture the images, which can mean more precise outcomes.
Emergency Checkup
Emergency Checkup
Dr. Harris can diagnose a chronic or sudden toothache during an emergency check-up. Or if you have a cracked, chipped or broken tooth from an accident, or loose crown, he will see you right away. Walk-ins are welcome and you can put your trust in him to identify create a plan to address your unplanned problem.
What Qualifies as an Emergency?
Dr. Harris can fix emergency situations by bonding or tooth replacement or addressing infection. If you’ve cracked a tooth by biting on something hard, lost a tooth by getting hit in a game or falling, or have experienced a sudden and painful toothache, he will see you right away. You shouldn’t wait to address these issues.
Cavity Control & Fillings
Cavity Control & Fillings
Prevention is key at Plaque Panther Dentistry. Dr. Harris and his staff educate people about best brushing and flossing practices to avoid plaque and decay. When a tooth does become decayed, when detected by digital x-rays, he uses composite filling to ensure the longest life and function of the tooth.
Dental Bridges
Dental Bridge
To replace missing teeth, dental bridges fill in the space between existing teeth. This restores chewing function as well as esthetics. A bridge of one or more missing teeth is attached to the other teeth to bridge the gap.
Crowns
Crowns
When a tooth is broken, cracked, chipped, or compromised by decay, Dr. Harris performs a crown procedure. During the first visit, he makes and impression, conservatively reduces the tooth, and places a temporary crown on. At the second visit, he places the permanent crown. Crowns are necessary to support the bite as well as the look of your smile. If a tooth is lost and not replaced, that could cause teeth to shift, bone loss and chance of infection.
Custom Night/ Sports Guards
Custom Night Guards
and Sports Guards
As a lifelong athlete, and former college football player, Dr. Harris appreciates the importance of a perfectly fitting mouthguard, whether for sports or to prevent damage from grinding. There’s a significant difference in a custom fit he creates compared to a generic one you’d get off the shelf from a sporting goods store. The best guards can prevent injury. According to the ADA, more than 200,000 mouth injuries are prevented each year through mouthguards.
