General Dentistry Services Offered
Exams and Cleanings
Exams and cleanings are the cornerstone of our general dentistry practice. It is our goal to make sure every exam and cleaning is a positive and productive experience.
During your cleaning, our talented, friendly hygienists will use special instruments and techniques to thoroughly clean your teeth, the areas between your teeth and your gumline. Once your teeth are clean, our doctors will perform a comprehensive exam of your mouth. During an exam, they look for signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer and other problems that might threaten the health of your mouth. Our team may take X-rays to get a closer look at the areas of the mouth the naked eye cannot see.
If we discover anything during an exam that suggests a problem, we can begin treatment intervention right away. Early detection and treatment save you from pain and other symptoms; it also reduces the chances of needing costly or invasive care.
Fillings
Cavities are an extremely common dental problem — nearly everyone gets a cavity at some point. Luckily, our dentists can quickly and easily remove decay and fill the leftover space in the tooth with a beautiful filling. Today’s fillings are made from tooth-colored materials and restore teeth to their original, natural appearance. Filling teeth also restores complete biting and chewing ability and eliminates the pain of a cavity.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral known to strengthen tooth enamel and ward off cavities. In some cases, fluoride can even reverse early tooth decay. We offer professional fluoride treatments to make sure you get the maximum benefit from the mineral.
During a professional fluoride treatment, we apply topical fluoride to your teeth in the form of a varnish, gel or foam. We can also prescribe fluoridated mouth rinses or gels to use at home in between appointments.
Sealants
Sealants are another tool in our preventive dental care toolbox. A sealant is a resin coating that covers the tiny crevices in the chewing surface of the teeth. Sealants physically prevent food particles and bacteria from accumulating in these tiny spaces and causing cavities. They are frequently used on the molars.
Emergency Dental Services
Our team will always make ourselves available if you or a member of your family experiences an injury to your teeth or mouth. We frequently see patients who suffer fractured, cracked or knocked-out teeth due to sports injuries, motor vehicle collisions or other accidents.
Simply call our office and we will make an appointment with you as soon as possible.
