What general dentistry solutions are available for patients?
A general dentist is a dental professional who focuses on oral health with a variety of procedures. These procedures may include:
- Dental fillings for areas of tooth decay
- Cleanings to remove plaque, tartar, and calcium buildup
- Examinations to monitor for periodontal disease and cavities
- X-rays to check the health of the smile below the gum line
- Dental education to teach patients how to properly brush and floss
- Periodontal treatments including scaling and root planing for gum disease
- The placement of dental crowns for added protection to a weak tooth
- Restorative procedures including dentures, dental bridges, and dental implants
What procedures might I need to keep my smile healthy?
For patients who take good care of their smile each and every day, and visit their dentist twice a year for cleanings and examinations, they may not need additional services. However, when problems arise, it is important for patients to visit their dentist as soon as possible to get a proper diagnosis and evaluation to seek the appropriate treatments. Whether you need restorative services or just a good treatment for periodontal disease, we encourage you to take pride in your oral health and consider preventative services year-round. We want our patients to have a smile they can be proud to share, and one that will last them for many years!
