General and Preventive Care in Lincoln, NE

At Roots Dental in Lincoln, NE, great dentistry starts with a strong foundation. Our general and preventive care services are designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy, catch problems early, and support whatever smile goals you have for the future. Whether you are coming in for a routine checkup or working toward a smile transformation, preventive care is where it all begins.

Regular dental exams and professional cleanings are the cornerstone of a healthy smile. At each visit, our hygiene team performs a thorough cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing cannot address on their own. Dr. Amy conducts a comprehensive exam to evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues for any signs of concern.

We also perform oral cancer screenings and take digital X-rays as needed to monitor what is happening below the surface. Catching a small cavity or early gum disease today saves significantly more time, money, and discomfort than treating a larger problem down the road.

A Team That Genuinely Knows You

Our hygiene team at Roots Dental is exceptional at what they do, and they bring something to every appointment that is just as important as clinical skill: they genuinely care about the people in their chairs. They remember your family, ask about your life, and take the time to make sure you feel comfortable and informed at every visit. For many of our patients, their hygiene appointments are one of the highlights of their healthcare routine. That is not something you find everywhere, and we are proud of it.

Meet Our Doctor:

Dr. Amy Wenninghoff

I am originally from Minot, North Dakota, and I met my husband, Garin—a Wahoo, NE, native—when completing my undergraduate studies at the University of North Dakota. I graduated from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry in 2012, and we were married a week later. We then moved to Omaha, where I completed a one-year general practice residency at UNMC and the VA, focusing on dentistry for adult patients with special needs, comprehensive dental rehabilitation for our veterans, and care for patients with complex medical problems. 

Next, we moved to Lincoln and ...
