Keep Your Smile Healthy with Preventative Dentistry

At Cross County Dentistry, we believe prevention is the best form of dental care. Our preventative services are designed to prevent oral health issues before they start—saving you time, discomfort, and expense down the road. Whether it’s your child’s first dental visit or your biannual checkup, our goal is to help your entire family maintain healthy teeth and gums for life.

What’s Included in Preventative Dental Care?

Professional Cleanings: Our hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar that can’t be reached with brushing alone.
Comprehensive Exams: Dr. DuRant performs a detailed assessment of your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw.
Digital X-Rays: We use low-radiation digital imaging to spot decay, infections, and bone loss early.
Intraoral Photographs: High-resolution photos help monitor problem areas and educate you on your oral health.
Dental Sealants: A protective coating applied to molars to prevent cavities—especially helpful for kids.
Fluoride Treatments: Strengthen enamel and prevent decay, especially in cavity-prone areas.

How Often Should You Visit?

We recommend hygiene appointments every six months for most patients. Regular cleanings and exams allow us to detect issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer early—when treatment is easiest and most effective.

I am always well cared for during my visits. The hygienist, Sharma Marrs is the “best” in the world and that’s coming from someone who has travelled the world. The dentist, Dr. DuRant is knowledgeable and attentive, and Allie always makes you feel like your “family”.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Outstanding Dental Experience at Cross County Dental I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Dr. John Durant and his exceptional team at Cross County Dental. From the moment I walked through the door, I was treated with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. Dr. Durant is not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but also takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident about your treatment. His calm demeanor and attention to detail immediately put me at ease. The entire staff—from the front desk to the hygienists and assistants—exemplify what it means to provide excellent patient care. They are friendly, efficient, and clearly work as a cohesive team. The office itself is clean, modern, and welcoming, which only adds to the positive experience. It’s rare to find a dental office where you truly feel like more than just another appointment on the calendar. Cross County Dental is that kind of place. I’m grateful to have found them and would recommend Dr. Durant and his team without hesitation to anyone looking for outstanding dental care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently visited Dr. DuRant's dental office, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I called to schedule my appointment, the assistant over the phone was incredibly helpful and friendly. She answered all my questions and found a convenient time for my visit. When I arrived, the hygienist (Shawndra) greeted me warmly and made me feel comfortable throughout the cleaning. She was gentle, thorough, and explained what she was doing at each step, which helped ease my nerves. Dr. DuRant was exceptional. He took the time to listen to my concerns, provided clear explanations, and offered thoughtful recommendations for my dental care. His expertise and calm demeanor made me feel confident I was in good hands. Overall, the entire team was professional, kind, and efficient. I highly recommend this office for anyone seeking top-notch dental care!
