      What is General Dentistry?

      General Dentistry is the primary dental care for patients of all ages. It focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of your overall oral health needs, including gum care, root canals, fillings, crowns, preventative education, and more. Think of us as your primary care providers for your mouth!

      Our Comprehensive General Dentistry Services Include:

      1. Preventative Care: Protecting Your Smile

      The best dental treatment is often the one you never need. Our preventative services are designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy and catch potential problems before they become serious.

        • Comprehensive Check-ups: Detailed assessment of your teeth, gums, and overall oral cavity.
        • Oral Cancer Screenings: Early detection of suspicious lesions in the mouth and throat.

      • Professional Dental Cleanings (Prophylaxis):
        • Removal of plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gum line.

        • Early Detection: Reveals cavities between teeth, bone loss, impacted teeth, and other issues not visible during a visual exam.
      • Fluoride Treatments:

        • Sports Guards: Protects teeth and jaws from injury during athletic activities.
        • Nightguards (Occlusal Guards): Alleviates symptoms of teeth grinding (bruxism) and clenching, preventing tooth wear and jaw pain.

      2. Restorative Dentistry: Repairing and Renewing Your Smile

      When issues arise, our restorative treatments are designed to repair damage, alleviate pain, and restore your teeth to their optimal health and function.

        • Anchored by crowns on adjacent natural teeth or implants, restoring bite function and preventing shifting.
      • Root Canal Therapy (Endodontics):
        • Treatment to remove infected or damaged pulp from within a tooth.
        • Relieves pain and saves a natural tooth from extraction.
      • Tooth Extractions:
        • Careful removal of severely damaged, decayed, or problematic teeth that cannot be saved.
        • Performed with utmost care and pain management.
