General Dentistry
General dentistry is a branch of dental care that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases, disorders, and conditions that affect the teeth, gums, and jaw. A general dentist's primary focus is to prevent and treat tooth decay and gum disease. However, general dentists also treat and manage other conditions affecting the oral cavity, including the tongue, lips, cheeks, jaws, salivary glands, etc.
Our general dentist provides routine care such as cleanings and exams as well as restorative procedures like fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, and more. They also perform cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or veneers.
Did you know that general dentists are often the first line of defense in diagnosing and treating oral health issues?

GENERAL DENTISTRY PROCEDURES
Regular dental cleanings, also known as prophylaxis, involve the removal of plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth by a dental hygienist. These cleanings are essential for preventing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Comprehensive oral exams are conducted by the dentist to assess the overall health of the teeth, gums, and mouth, including screening for oral cancer and other abnormalities.
