What Is General Dentistry and What Can It Address?
General dentistry includes all the care you need to keep your mouth healthy every day. It includes:
Dental Exam
A dental exam is the first step in caring for your oral health. Our dentist will examine your teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding oral tissues to identify any problems at an early stage, before they develop into something more serious. We also use digital X-rays to check for concerns that cannot be seen during a regular exam.
Dental Cleanings
Brushing and flossing at home go a long way, but there are spots in your mouth that are just hard to reach, no matter how thorough you are. Plaque builds up in those areas and eventually hardens into tartar, which only a professional cleaning can remove.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride helps make tooth enamel stronger and more resistant to cavities. The treatment is quick, painless, and applied right to your teeth as a gel or varnish. It is often recommended for children, but adults who get cavities easily or have dry mouth can benefit as well.
Cosmetic Dental Fillings
We treat cavities with tooth-colored composite fillings instead of metal ones. These fillings match your natural tooth color and bond directly to the tooth structure, so less of your healthy tooth needs to be removed. The result looks clean and is barely noticeable.
Dental Bridges
If you have a missing tooth, nearby teeth can shift, and the jawbone in that spot may weaken over time. A dental bridge fills the gap with a replacement tooth that is anchored to the teeth on either side, bringing back both function and appearance.
Dental Crowns
When a tooth gets cracked, worn down by decay, or has an old filling that has seen better days, a crown is usually the best way to save it. It fits right over the damaged tooth and gives it back its full shape and strength.
TMJ
Your jaw does a lot of work every single day, and the joint responsible for all that movement can wear down over time. When it does, you might notice soreness in your jaw, tension headaches, or a popping sound when you open your mouth.
These are all signs that something is off with the temporomandibular joint, and it is worth getting checked out sooner rather than later.
Sleep Appliances
Obstructive sleep apnea causes you to stop breathing several times during sleep, which puts stress on your heart and leaves you tired during the day. A custom oral sleep appliance gently moves your lower jaw forward to keep your airway open at night.
This is a good alternative to a CPAP machine for people with mild to moderate sleep apnea.
Dental Emergency
Dental emergencies can happen at any time, and waiting too long to get help can make the problem worse. Whether you have a knocked-out tooth, a sudden break, or severe pain that started unexpectedly, we set aside time for urgent cases.
Call our office right away, and we’ll do our best to prioritize your visit and guide you on what to do until you get here.
