Prevention is the heartbeat of every patient experience at New Hampshire Smile Co. here in Nashua, NH — and the warmth, integrity, and personal touch of our care philosophy are woven into every preventative visit. Dr. Neveu is convinced that when patients truly comprehend their oral health, they become active partners in caring for it. That is why every check-up here focuses on clarity, without confusion, pressure, or judgment. Our goal is simply to have open, honest conversations, provide thorough care, and for our team to truly care about how you’re doing long after you’ve left our office.
Cleanings & Exams
Our dental cleanings and exams go much further than a polish and a quick glance in the mirror. Each visit includes a meticulous scaling of plaque and tartar that just brushing and flossing at home won’t reach, a comprehensive review of gum health and pocket depth, and a check of all your existing dental work. Most importantly, every appointment concludes with an oral health review that puts you in the driver’s seat of your dental care. We provide you with a clear picture of your overall oral health and exactly what you need to maintain that good health.
Digital X-Rays & AI-Assisted Diagnostics
We use digital x-rays in Nashua, NH along with an AI-based x-ray reading system that detects issues before they become problems in ways that traditional x-rays cannot reliably achieve. We walk patients through what we see using their own x-rays, too. Patients are empowered to make informed, confident treatment decisions when they know exactly what their dentists are seeing. Because we use digital technology, you’re also exposed to much less radiation with our modern diagnostic tools, meaning digital x-rays have an easy threshold for being a great long-term oral health option.

Oral Cancer Screenings
During each exam visit at New Hampshire Smile Co., we screen patients for oral cancer. Every surface of soft tissue in your mouth and face gets the systematic attention required for an effective screening, ensuring we catch anything we can when it is most treatable. Since early detection is one of the most important factors in the successful treatment of oral cancer, Dr. Neveu performs this test on every patient at every exam, no exceptions.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride therapy is offered based on your individual risk of decay. This procedure applies concentrated fluoride to your teeth and restores the minerals in tooth enamel at levels that daily oral hygiene simply can’t achieve. Those who need fluoride the most are patients in high-risk categories, such as people who don’t produce enough saliva due to certain prescription medications and those with a history of dental cavities. Fluoride is a valuable tool to incorporate into our oral care plan.

Dental Sealants
Our practice applies dental sealants to the deep grooves of molars. This is because these areas are the sites where dental decay is the most likely to develop due to the trapping of bacteria and acids. Sealants cover and isolate these surfaces, preventing bacteria from accumulating in deep crevices and leading to cavities. This procedure is painless and requires no removal of any tooth structure. In addition, the treatment is fast and provides significant cavity protection during the time when cavities are most prevalent in both adults and children.
Nightguards
New Hampshire Smile Co. in Nashua, NH, fabricates custom nightguards in the office to protect your teeth, TMJ, and dental work from the effects of grinding and clenching. When your bruxism is not addressed, the forces involved exceed the forces you’re normally accustomed to exerting during your chewing process, leading to progressive wear and tear over time. Eventually, the cost and complexity of treating problems related to your bruxism become much greater. Every nightguard we provide in Nashua is fabricated from a digital impression of your unique dental anatomy to ensure that it fits you for consistent, every-night use.

The Link Between Oral Health & Overall Health
Dr. Neveu knows that an oral-focused approach to dental care alone is inadequate, as it fails to account for how oral health is related to the rest of the body, impacting quality of life, confidence, comfort, nutrition, sleep, and overall wellness. It is a fact that periodontal disease, for example, is highly correlated with a variety of serious medical conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and inflammatory disorders. It is, therefore, highly important to consider your overall health at New Hampshire Smile Co. in Nashua, NH when scheduling your preventative visits.
