What to Expect
With general dentistry, we strive to provide preventative solutions to keep your teeth and gums healthy. In most cases, these treatments are not complex, but can be essential to protecting your health. Our treatments are also aided by the fact that we utilize modern dental technology like digital x-rays and 3D CT scans, which improves the end-result and the comfort of your care. Our forward-thinking approach to dentistry ensures that your smile gets the care it deserves in the most comfortable and successful way possible.
Common General Dentistry Procedures
For those who keep a healthy mouth, a simple exam and cleaning is often all that is necessary every six months. We evaluate your oral health, clean hard to reach areas, and protect your smile from future harm.
If you have experienced tooth decay, a composite filling can protect the tooth after the cavity has been treated. Composite fillings are also highly sought after from patients because the color of the material blends in with your natural tooth coloration.
If a tooth has a small chip, crack, or malformation, dental bonding can be used to reshape the structure of the tooth. We can design your tooth to have almost any appearance thanks to the flexibility of the bonding material.
For those who are missing a tooth, a bridge can be used to span the gap, filling in the empty area with a crown. This allows patients to return to healthy oral function and feel better about their smile.
If you or a loved one has been in an accident that hurt your oral health, emergency care is available to treat the problem as soon as possible. We strive to see most emergency cases the same day you call!
Similar to a filling, inlays and onlays protect a tooth structure from further decay. They either sit between the cusps of a tooth or cover one or more parts of a cusp.
If a tooth is beyond saving, a simple extraction can be performed to remove the problem and help get patients out of pain. Most basic extractions can be performed quickly and with minimal discomfort!
