What to expect during your wellness exam
At Quartz Dentistry, your wellness exam is designed to be as informative as it is comfortable. Dr. Carr takes a comprehensive, whole-health approach—examining your teeth, gums, bite and jaw using advanced tools like 3D imaging and our iTero scanner.
You’ll also receive a personalized oral cancer screening, gentle gum evaluation, and a clear explanation of anything we find. Whether it’s been six months or several years, you’ll never be rushed or judged—just guided with honesty and care. It’s all part of our mission to help you feel confident in every aspect of your oral health.

Explore our treatments
Your exam is a personalized deep dive into your oral and overall wellness. Dr. Carr uses 3D imaging, digital scans, and a comprehensive evaluation to check for decay, gum health, jaw alignment, and even signs of airway issues. You'll leave with a clear understanding of your oral health and a plan that fits your goals. It’s judgment-free, educational, and always focused on prevention—not pressure.
Cleanings at Quartz Dentistry aren’t just about polish—they’re about prevention. Our gentle, thorough approach removes plaque and tartar buildup while protecting your enamel and gums. Whether it’s your biannual cleaning or periodontal maintenance, we tailor each visit to your comfort and needs, leaving you feeling fresh, cared for, and confident.
We use ultra-low-radiation digital x-rays and CBCT 3D imaging to get a crystal-clear view of what’s happening beneath the surface. These tools help us spot potential issues early and create precise, personalized care plans. No more guesswork—just clarity, comfort, and confidence in your care.
Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent cavities—especially if you're prone to sensitivity or decay. Our treatments are quick, effective, and tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re an adult with enamel erosion or a child building healthy habits, it’s a simple step with powerful benefits.
Sealants offer invisible protection in the areas most prone to decay—especially molars and grooves. We often recommend them for kids, teens, or adults with deep chewing surfaces. The process is painless, fast, and can dramatically reduce your risk of cavities over time.
If you wake up with jaw pain, tension headaches, or worn teeth, a custom night guard might be the solution. Designed in-office using 3D scans and printed for a precise fit, our guards help protect your smile while you sleep—reducing clenching, grinding, and damage to enamel or restorations.
Gum health is foundational to your overall wellness. If you’re showing signs of gum disease—like bleeding, swelling, or deep pockets—we offer gentle, targeted therapy to stop progression and restore balance. We’ll walk you through every step and support your long-term gum health with tailored maintenance plans.
This quick, painless screening is a powerful way to protect your health. Dr. Carr performs a thorough soft tissue exam at every wellness visit, using both visual and tactile techniques to identify any abnormal changes early. It’s a small step that can make a big difference in your health journey.
