Dental Checkups in Naperville, IL

  The American Dental Association recommends you see your dentist at least twice each year for a checkup. At your checkup, we will inspect your soft tissues for oral cancer, periodontal disease, and other problems. Dr. Caputo will also look at each tooth in your mouth to assess problems like tooth decay or cracks, as well as old dental work. Sometimes old dental work wears out and needs to be replaced. We will be happy to replace metal fillings, inlays, onlays, and crowns with tooth-colored alternatives.
 
By looking for trouble every six months, we can often reduce your potential for large dental problems. For instance, left untreated, a small cavity can grow to destroy an entire tooth and spread to surrounding teeth. A cracked tooth can cause pain or break off and create additional problems. Furthermore, advanced gum disease is the primary cause of tooth loss for American adults, and oral cancer causes more than 7,500 deaths each year. Caught and treated early, these diseases can be controlled.
 
If you have not scheduled a checkup lately, be sure to call our Naperville dental office now to make your appointment! Children as young as two should visit the dentist, and by age four or five, a child should attend regular checkups.

Liz, Dental Assistant



 

Hi! My name is Liz. As a Patient Care Coordinator, I take pride in making sure every visit is as smooth as possible for our guests.  With over 13 years of experience in the dental field I began my career in dentistry as a chair side dental assistant. Today I am the warm smile you see when arriving here at Dr. Caputo's.  I facilitate patient - office interactions such as scheduling appointments, making financial arrangements, and assisting guests with insurance.
 

My husband Aaron and I have a little girl named Ava.  We love to travel, and spend time with family and friends.  On the weekend you will see us at the farmers market or taking a stroll downtown Naperville.
