What is Included in General Dentistry?
Dental Exams and Cleanings
As general dentists, we recommend twice-a-year dental cleanings and exams. These procedures help prevent cavities and gum disease. Additionally, it helps us detect dental problems early and provide the treatment accordingly.
Dental X-Rays
We will take dental X-rays during your regular checkups as they give a complete picture of your oral health. You might have a fracture in your tooth or something happening beneath the tooth’s surface not visible during a physical exam. Dental X-rays are a significant part of any preventive dentistry routine.
Gum Disease Treatment
We prevent and treat gum disease at our dental office. We can eliminate the plaque and tartar that build up along the gum line to avert future gum disease with regular dental cleanings.
Dental Fillings
When your tooth develops a cavity, we perform a dental filling to remove the decay and restore the missing tooth structure. For the fillings, we use tooth-colored dental materials that are durable and look natural.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride applications done after dental cleanings can benefit children and adults alike. They help prevent the risk of cavities by up to thirty percent. We recommend fluoride treatments at least once a year to protect your teeth.
Root Canals
When a tooth’s pulp becomes infected, we perform a root canal procedure to reinstate the tooth back to health. The prominent signs of a root canal infection are a toothache or sensitivity.
Restorations
We also provide several restorative dentistry treatments to help restore the strength and functionality of an affected tooth. Our restorative procedures include dental bonding, dental crowns, veneers, implants, dentures, wisdom teeth and much more.
Bad Breath Treatment
There is an underlying problem if you have persistent foul breath that is not being helped by good oral hygiene. We will get to the root cause of your bad breath and treat it accordingly.
Oral Cancer Detection
We will look for any unusual spots, lumps, or bumps in your mouth that might indicate oral cancer during the regular exam. There are better chances of recovery with an early oral cancer diagnosis.
