What should I expect during my dental appointment?
We welcome both new and returning patients to our office. Every time you visit us, you can expect a positive dental experience, which starts right from the reception area. Our dentist takes the time to get to know you, including your dental and medical history, concerns, and needs, to develop personalized treatment.
Your treatment involves a comprehensive dental exam to assess your teeth, gums, and other structures. During the exam, the dentist uses an intraoral camera to visually identify signs of decay, gum disease, overcrowding, faulty dental work, and more. Sometimes, we may use dental X-rays to understand your oral health beneath the gum line.
Following your exam, we will discuss treatment options tailored to your dental needs, budget, and availability. We believe in a collaborative approach, valuing your input and preferences. Involving you in treatment personalizes your treatment and improves your comfort and satisfaction.
What general dentistry services are available to me?
Each patient has unique dental needs. That’s why we offer comprehensive general dentistry to provide a solution for every smile. Refresh, rebuild, and rejuvenate your smile with the following general dental care services.
- Dental exams: Routine dental check-ups allow us to detect and treat dental issues before they progress and become hard to treat. The standard is that patients should visit us twice annually to keep their smiles healthy. However, patients at risk of gum disease and decay should increase this frequency to 3-4 times yearly.
- Routine cleanings: Do you brush and floss your teeth diligently at home? Congratulations! These oral hygiene practices are vital for keeping your teeth clean and healthy. However, it is essential to visit a dentist twice a year for professional cleanings.” Dental cleanings remove built-in plaque and tartar from hard-to-clean surfaces in the mouth.
- Dental fillings: We repair tooth decay with tooth-colored fillings. White fillings are preferable to age-old amalgams because of their aesthetics and safety record.
- Periodontal care: We maintain healthy gums with periodontics, which involves prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. We aim to ensure you maintain healthy gums to create a stable foundation for your teeth.
- Root canals: We will refer you to specialists to treat infected or severely damaged teeth with root canal treatments. Root canals help manage oral pain, prevent infections, and save teeth from extraction. When root canals are necessary, you have nothing to worry about. Thanks to modern dental technologies, our specialists execute painless and safe root canals.
- Extractions: We try to preserve your natural teeth because nothing compares to having your own teeth. However, sometimes saving a tooth isn’t possible. In such cases, our dentist recommends dental extraction to maintain optimal oral health.
