Preventive Care Keeps Your Mouth in Top Shape

Establish Care & Create a Plan

We recommend visiting the dentist every six months for a routine checkup. At your first appointment, our team will review your oral health history and address any concerns you may have. We’ll take digital X-rays to get a full view of your mouth, followed by a cleaning if time allows.

In some cases, your cleaning may be scheduled for a later visit. This initial appointment is an opportunity for us to establish a relationship with you and develop a personalized treatment plan to maintain your oral health moving forward.

Get Comprehensive Care for a Healthy Smile

Regular checkups may include a variety of services based on your needs. Our thorough dental cleanings use air-polishing technology for a quicker, gentler experience. Exams detect gum disease, cavities, or oral cancer. If you suffer from dry mouth or bad breath, we’ll recommend effective products and investigate possible causes like infections or sleep apnea.

For gum disease, deep cleaning treatments are available to eliminate infection. Additionally, we offer custom mouthguards to address TMJ disorders, teeth grinding, or sleep apnea. Mouthguards improve both your rest and overall health.

Enhance Your Healthy Smile

Once your smile is in great health, we can help you achieve the look you’ve always wanted with cosmetic treatments. We offer teeth whitening to brighten your smile, dental veneers to cover imperfections, and Invisalign to discreetly straighten misaligned teeth.

Whether you’re looking to correct chipped, stained, or crooked teeth, our cosmetic services are designed to give you a confident, radiant smile.

We also offer smile makeovers that combine multiple treatments to achieve your ideal appearance. With your oral health in check, enhancing your smile’s aesthetics is the next step to feeling and looking your best!

Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry

What is general dentistry?

General dentistry covers basic dental services designed to keep your mouth healthy, your teeth clean, and your smile bright. It includes dental cleanings and exams, gum disease treatment, and preventive care like fluoride treatments and tooth sealants. Regular general dental care will help you avoid more extensive dental work in the future.

Why should I go to a general dentist?

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.

Can I prevent cavities?

Brushing with toothpaste that contains fluoride at least two times a day is essential in preventing cavities, as is daily flossing. Limiting the amount of sugary or highly acidic foods in your diet is also helpful. If you’re unable to brush after meals, rinsing out your mouth with water is a good way to help wash away the food debris and bacteria that cause cavities. Ask your dental team about fluoride and sealants, two treatments that can make your teeth less cavity-prone.
