Protect Your Overall Health 

Your oral health has an impact on your whole body, making regular care essential. We offer comprehensive preventive treatments to keep your smile healthy and address concerns before they become serious problems:

Visit us twice a year for regular checkups, with thorough cleanings and examinations. After we clean your teeth, we'll examine your mouth for any areas of concern, including signs of oral cancer.

Sometimes your smile needs extra protection against harmful bacteria and tooth decay. We can apply dental sealants and fluoride treatments to your teeth, if necessary.

If you show signs of a periodontal infection, you can get gum disease treatment with a procedure known as scaling and root planing. We use Oraqix® to numb the area we are treating so you won't feel a thin.

Address Specific Dental Concerns

Cavities and gum disease can cause more serious problems, and we can treat those, too.

For chronic dry mouth, we'll recommend products to alleviate this problem and make you more comfortable. To handle halitosis, we'll examine your mouth for any underlying issues causing this problem, then do a deep cleaning that will freshen your breath.

We can create a custom-fit mouthguard If you grind your teeth at night or struggle with a TMJ disorder. This will act as a barrier between your teeth and relieve pressure on your jaw.

As a new patient, we'll spend about an hour with you during your first appointment. We'll review your medical and dental histories, address any areas of concern, and take digital X-rays if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry

What is general dentistry?
General dentistry includes many services, such as exams and cleanings, that prevent dental problems from ever happening. Our team will help you avoid dental decay, gum disease, and even injuries to your mouth from teeth grinding. It also addresses a wide range of repair and enhancement needs. As a bonus, our general dental care helps keep your mouth looking and feeling great!
How can I prevent cavities?

Your mouth naturally creates a film over your teeth that becomes plaque. Plaque can harden into tartar, and tartar leads to tooth decay and gum disease. By brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing once a day, you break the film before it can become tartar. When you visit us for regular teeth cleanings, we'll remove tartar from any spots you missed. We can also coat your teeth in fluoride to toughen your enamel and fight tooth decay.

Why do I need general dentistry?
While any dentist would be able to perform general dental services, most specialists focus their treatment on just one area. If you visit a general dentist for your smile care, you'll receive better treatment because they perform basic dental care on a daily basis. If necessary, a general dentist can always refer you to a specialist.
