General Dental Services & Treatments

The right treatment depends on your dental health, symptoms, and individual goals. During your visit, we'll evaluate your teeth and gums and explain which treatment options may be appropriate for you.

Comfortable, Personalized & Affordable Dental Care

Many general dental treatments are common procedures that may be covered in part by dental insurance plans. Coverage varies depending on your individual plan, so we recommend reviewing your benefits or speaking with your insurance provider to understand your coverage.

 

Addressing dental problems early may also help prevent them from becoming more extensive. A small cavity, for example, may be easier to treat before it develops into a larger problem that requires more involved dental treatment.

Our goal is to make general dental care comfortable, straightforward, and personalized to your needs.

General Dentistry Often Overlaps With Other Types of Dental Care

General dentistry doesn't always exist separately from cosmetic, restorative, or preventive dentistry. In many cases, different types of dental treatment can be part of the same overall treatment plan.

For example, repairing a damaged tooth with a dental crown may restore its function while also improving its appearance. A patient may also receive general dental treatment as part of a larger plan involving cosmetic dentistry or other restorative procedures

Every patient has different dental needs and goals. That's why we take the time to evaluate your individual situation before recommending treatment.

The Connection Between Your Oral Health & Overall Health

Your oral health is connected to your overall health, which is one reason regular dental examinations are important.

 

During a dental visit, your dentist evaluates more than just individual teeth. We may also assess your gums, bite, jaw joints, and other structures in and around your mouth.

 

For example, dental examinations can identify signs of gum disease, tooth wear, jaw-joint problems, or other oral health concerns that may affect your comfort and quality of life.

If you are experiencing jaw pain, headaches, tooth sensitivity, bad breath, or another persistent oral health concern, let our dental team know so we can evaluate the problem and discuss your options.

General Dentistry Includes Diagnostic & Preventive Care

General dentistry isn’t limited to procedures such as fillings and crowns. It also includes the examinations, diagnostic services, and preventive measures that help keep your mouth healthy.

 

Depending on your needs, your dental care may include:

 

  • Comprehensive dental examinations
  • Digital dental X-rays and other imaging
  • Bite and occlusion evaluation
  • Oral cancer screenings
  • Gum health assessments
  • Professional teeth cleanings
  • Fluoride treatments
  • Dental sealants
  • Nightguards
  • Sports mouthguards

Local anesthesia may also be used when appropriate to help make certain dental procedures more comfortable.

Preventing Dental Problems

Preventive dentistry focuses on identifying and addressing dental problems before they become more complicated, painful, or costly to treat.

An important part of preventive care is helping patients understand how to care for their teeth and gums between dental visits.

We recommend:

  • Brushing your teeth twice a day
  • Cleaning between your teeth every day
  • Maintaining regular dental examinations and cleanings
  • Following a balanced diet
  • Limiting excessive sugar and acidic foods and drinks
  • Using mouthguards when appropriate
  • Following your dentist’s recommendations for maintaining your oral health

Regular preventive dental care gives your dentist an opportunity to identify potential problems early and help you maintain a healthy smile.
