Choose a Modern Practice for Your Preventive Care
Too often, a patient will go to the dentist for an appointment and only see their actual dentist for a few minutes. That’s not the case when you visit Dr. William E. Hay. With over 30 years of experience, he is engaged throughout your entire treatment process and loves getting to know his patients personally.
You also benefit from our cutting-edge technology, such as intraoral cameras, digital X-rays, and 3-D scanners. This captures the information we need about your teeth smoothly and precisely. We even use AI (artificial intelligence) to detect cavities!
Our preventive services include:
- Cleanings and Exams – We’ll remove plaque and tartar build-up from your teeth. We’ll also do a thorough exam, to detect any signs of cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer. If it’s your first appointment, this may take up to two hours.
- Dry Mouth Treatment – If you struggle with dry mouth, we can recommend products you can use at home. Since it may also be a sign of sleep apnea, we’ll explore other symptoms you are noticing.
- Bad Breath Solutions – If you have chronic bad breath, we’ll do a thorough exam to determine if it’s an underlying problem, like infected teeth or gum disease. We can recommend products you can use at home or provide the necessary treatment to give you back your fresh breath.
- Gum Disease Treatment – We’ll put a stop to gum disease with thorough treatments including deep cleanings, laser treatments, topical antibiotics, and antibacterial irrigation. You may need to return more frequently to prevent further infection.
- Mouthguards – Protect your teeth from sports injuries or grinding and clenching with a custom mouthguard. We’ll use our digital scanning technology to get the information needed to create your customized guard.

I had a great experience on my visit. Dr. Hay was very caring and gave me valuable information, in addition to a comprehensive check up. They come highly recommended! Thank you again, and see you next time!
I would highly recommend Dr. Hay and his staff, I hadn’t been to the dentist in 15 years because of past bad experiences and I was a nervous wreck going to the dentist. When I walked in I was met by Alisha who is so sweet and calming, then I met Nikki and together they got me calmed down, took my X-rays and then Dr. Hay came in explained everything I needed done and what options I had, I was so happy to hear they offered sedation. I needed lots of work and I was put under sedation, woke up and had a beautiful smile! If you want a dentist office that makes you honestly feel comfortable and relaxed go see Dr. Hay and his staff you will feel completely different about going to the dentist. I no longer have a fear and enjoy going to get a teeth cleaning.
Everyone is so nice!!! If you want to be treated with respect and have someone care about you. Go see Dr. Bay and his staff !!!
A great team of people gave me my smile back. Dr Hay did an amazing job!
General dentistry is what we do here. We feature general dentistry solutions that will keep your mouth healthy and your smile looking its best all through your life. This includes thorough examinations to screen for problems and to assess your teeth, gums, and mouth in general. General dentistry also includes protective measures like dental sealants and teeth cleanings to prevent dangerous plaque, tartar, and bacteria from causing disease, decay, and worse.
Nutritious foods that benefit your overall health also help you maintain healthy teeth. Adding fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and calcium-rich foods like cheese into your diet is a good start. Certain fruits and vegetables, with their high water and fiber content, function as a natural toothbrush and remove plaque from your teeth. Nuts make an excellent snack option as they contain minerals that help strengthen tooth enamel and make it more resistant to cavities.
Brushing with a toothpaste that contains fluoride at least two times a day is essential in preventing cavities, as is daily flossing. Limiting the amount of sugary or highly acidic foods in your diet is also helpful. If you’re unable to brush after meals, rinsing out your mouth with water is a good way to help wash away the food debris and bacteria that cause cavities. Ask your dental team about fluoride and sealants, two treatments that can make your teeth less cavity-prone.
