General Dentistry

Neglecting your oral health isn’t just a harmful to your smile, but it also impacts your overall health. For example, infection in your gums increases your risk for systemic health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. That’s why it’s so important to visit us every six months for a checkup. We can recognize issues when they are small and easier to treat. This helps you avoid complicated restorative treatments or dental emergencies.

Some of the general dentistry services we provide are:

• Dental Cleanings and Exams – We’ll thoroughly clean your teeth and remove bacteria, tartar, and plaque. We’ll also examine your mouth for any oral health issues such as cavities, gum disease, and even oral cancer.
• Preventive Treatments – Preventive treatments like fluoride varnish and dental sealants offer extra protection against harmful bacteria.
• Gum Disease Treatment – If you are dealing with an infection in your gums, we’ll do a deep cleaning procedure called scaling and root planing. If deep periodontal pockets have formed, putting you at risk for advanced gum disease, we can treat them with antibiotics.
• Mouthguards – We create custom-made mouthguards that offer protection for your teeth, gums, lips, and tongue while playing sports. We can also provide mouthguards to prevent teeth grinding and its damaging effects like headaches and jaw strain. Depending on your needs, we can use an outside lab or make them in-house.
• Dry Mouth – If you have dry mouth, we can offer products to use at home to relieve your symptoms.
• Bad Breath Treatment – We’ll examine your mouth for signs of gum disease or tooth decay. Both of those problems can trigger an unpleasant smell in your mouth. We can also recommend products to help.
