Tulip Tree Dental Care provides a full variety of general dentistry and preventive family dental services, including:

Professional Teeth Cleanings (Prophylaxis)

Dental prophylaxis is a cleaning procedure that thoroughly cleans the teeth. It is an important preventive measure to help stop the progression of gingivitis and periodontal disease. We recommend our orally healthy patients receive this type of procedure twice a year.

Nomad® Handheld Digital X-Rays

Our practice uses safe, convenient digital x-rays using a handheld x-ray system to produce enhanced computer images of your teeth, gums, and other oral structures and conditions. Digital x-rays are key to early detection of tooth decay and damage and the effective treatment of dental problems.

iTero® Intraoral Digital Scanner

Dr. Hurcomb uses the iTero digital scanner with patients undergoing orthodontic or other restorative dental treatments. Dr. Hurcomb can use the iTero scans to take a closer look at your smile and show you how your possible smile outcome side-by-side with your current smile! iTero scans are fast, comfortable, and accurate, which makes the entire process more efficient.

This advanced dental technology also features a touch-screen tool that lets Dr. Hurcomb make real-time adjustments to the possible smile outcome for each patient!

Oral Cancer ScreeningPatient getting digital x rays which are a standard part of family dentistry services at Tulip Dental Care in South Bend, IN.

Tobacco users aren’t the only ones who should be concerned about oral cancer. Oral cancer is a serious condition that may occur even in patients who don't smoke or chew tobacco. That’s why at Tulip Tree Dental Care, we provide oral cancer screenings as part of our regular checkups with all of our patients over the age of 18.

CariVu™ Cavity Detection

Traditional bite-wing x-rays can be uncomfortable and don't show early caries and lesions in detail. The CariVu device allows Dr. Hurcomb to use patented transillumination technology to comfortably and easily detect cavities and cracks with higher accuracy.

Dental Sealants

Seal off deep grooves in the molars that are vulnerable to tooth decay with this inexpensive and effective preventive treatment. Dental sealants guard against cavities by forming a “shield” over the enamel of your teeth, keeping out bacteria and acids. Be sure to ask about pediatric dental sealants too!

Teeth-Strengthening Mineral Application

This safe and easy-to-apply mineral treatment is used to help support healthy tooth enamel. This treatment can re-mineralize weak areas of tooth enamel, keeping your teeth more resilient against bacteria.

Teethmate™ Desensitizer Treatment for Sensitive Teeth

Sensitive teeth can make eating, drinking, and even speaking painful. If you're tired of suffering with tooth sensitivity, ask Dr. Hurcomb if Teethmate Desensitizer treatment could give you the relief you need!
