What is General Dentistry?

General dentistry focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of common dental issues to ensure long-lasting oral health. It includes a wide range of services, such as routine check-ups, professional cleanings, and restorative treatments, to address concerns like cavities and tooth loss. General dentists also provide early detection of oral health issues, helping to prevent serious complications by treating them at an early stage.

Our General Dentistry Services

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Cavities and minor tooth damage can compromise oral health. Our tooth-colored composite fillings restore the function and aesthetics of your teeth without the noticeable appearance of metal fillings. These durable biocompatible materials blend seamlessly with natural teeth for long-lasting results.

Tooth Extractions

In cases where a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or impacted, extraction may be necessary to protect overall oral health. We ensure a comfortable experience with sedation options and post-extraction care to promote healing. Our team also provides tooth replacement options, such as dental implants or bridges, to restore function and aesthetics.

Root Canals

If you have an infected or severely damaged tooth, our root canal treatments can help relieve pain and save your natural tooth. Root canal therapy removes infected pulp, disinfects the tooth, and restores its function with a durable crown. This procedure helps prevent the need for tooth extraction and preserves your natural smile.

Dental Crowns & Bridges

When a tooth is severely damaged or missing, crowns and bridges provide durable and aesthetically pleasing solutions. Dental crowns restore strength and appearance to weakened teeth, while dental bridges fill the gaps left by missing teeth, improving function and preventing shifting of surrounding teeth.

Dentures & Partial Dentures

For patients with multiple missing teeth, we offer full and partial dentures that restore function and aesthetics. Our customized dentures provide a comfortable fit and a natural-looking smile, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

TMJ Therapy

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty chewing. We offer personalized TMJ treatments, including oral appliances and lifestyle recommendations, to relieve discomfort and improve jaw function.

The Importance of General Dentistry

Regular visits to the dentist are essential for maintaining a healthy smile. General dentistry not only addresses existing dental problems but also helps prevent future complications. By detecting issues early, we can provide conservative treatments that preserve your natural teeth and overall oral health.

Benefits of General Dentistry

Regular dental check-ups allow for early diagnosis of issues like cavities and oral infections. Early treatment prevents complications, reducing the need for more invasive and expensive procedures.

Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, significantly reducing the chances of developing cavities. Fluoride treatments also strengthen enamel, making teeth more resistant to decay.

Routine exams and periodontal care help prevent gum disease, which if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and other severe health issues like cardiovascular disease.

Good oral hygiene is linked to better overall health. Poor oral health has been associated with systemic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory infections. By maintaining oral health, you contribute to your overall well-being.

Preventive care minimizes the risk of requiring major dental treatments such as root canals, extractions, and implants. By addressing issues early you save on costly procedures and maintain better oral health in the long run.
