What is General Dentistry?
General dentistry focuses on maintaining and improving oral health through regular checkups, cleanings, and basic dental treatments. It plays a key role in preventing cavities, gum disease, and other common dental issues before they become serious. People need general dentistry to keep their teeth and gums healthy, ensuring a confident smile and long-term oral wellness. Regular visits also help detect early signs of more complex problems, allowing for timely and effective treatment. Whether it's a routine cleaning or a filling, general dentistry is the foundation of lifelong dental care.
What to expect with General Dentistry
We begin our time with patients with a cleaning and examination. This allows us to get to know the patient and create a treatment plan that is specific to them. Care is administered on an individual basis, and we always take your budgeting needs into consideration when planning out treatment for you. With the help of a complete consultation, we can get a feel for what your smile needs in order for it to look its absolute best. Some of the most common procedures you can expect with general dentistry include:
- Fillings
- Crowns and Bridge Work
- Dentures and Partials
- Root Canals
- Preventative Care
- Extractions
- Minor Oral Surgery
