General and Family Dentistry

What Is General & Family Dentistry?

General and family dentistry is the foundation of oral health care, encompassing preventive, restorative, and basic therapeutic treatments for patients of all ages. General dentists serve as your family’s primary dental care provider, focusing on maintaining optimal oral health through regular examinations, cleanings, and early intervention.

Our General & Family Dentistry Services

Dental Cleaning & Exams

Routine dental checkups and teeth cleanings are a vital part of preventive dental care. Upon these visits, we will thoroughly analyze your oral health and address potential risk factors. We will also perform dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar deposits, revealing a healthy, white smile. 

Dental Sealants

The chewing surfaces of the teeth are more susceptible to cavities, but we can prevent this risk with dental sealants. It is a simple and painless procedure that can benefit children and adults in the long run by preventing the formation of cavities.

Fluoride Treatments & Silver Diamine Fluoride

As a part of preventive dental care, we offer fluoride treatments to strengthen the tooth enamel and reduce the risk of tooth decay. We also use silver diamine fluoride, which provides antimicrobial protection against caries-causing bacteria. It is an excellent option for those at high risk of dental cavities.

Scaling & Root Planing

Periodontal or gum disease can compromise the health and stability of your teeth. With scaling and root planing, we deeply clean the tooth surfaces, even beneath the gum line, to remove plaque deposits and harmful bacteria. It helps restore optimal gum health.

Crown Lengthening

Are you bothered by the appearance of a ‘gummy smile’? Or dentists can reshape and contour your gums with crown lengthening treatment. By removing the excess gum tissue, we can make your teeth appear longer. This minimally invasive procedure can also enhance your eligibility for dental crowns.

Night Guards

If you have the habit of grinding or clenching your teeth at night, we can help prevent it with custom-made night guards. This appliance creates a cushioning effect and limits your teeth from grinding against each other during sleep.

Sports Mouth Guards

For those who engage in athletic activities or high-impact sports, we offer personalized mouthguards to protect their teeth and oral tissues. They are designed to fit comfortably in your mouth and offer protection against dental injuries.
