Find a Dental Care Service for You

The primary purpose of general dentistry services is to reduce the possibility of situations that cause discomfort or lead to restorative services, such as a root canal or treatment for tooth decay. Due to contributing factors such as genetics, health history, and diet, sometimes those instances are unavoidable. However, everyone can stay ahead of most health concerns with proactive dental visits, and we offer everything you need right here.

Bi-Annual Cleanings

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends all patients have their teeth cleaned twice a year for a thorough polish and an opportunity to inspect for decay, gum disease, signs of infection, and other concerns.

Digital X-Rays

As thorough as our dental inspections are, uncovering every potential problem without help is challenging. Digital X-rays can reveal signs of cavities between teeth and decay inside them.

Limited / Comprehensive Exams

We offer patients different levels of oral exams. Limited exams are perfect for patients who see the dentist regularly but are experiencing a specific pain symptom. Comprehensive exams will more thoroughly evaluate overall health and how it relates to the teeth, gums, tongue, jaw, and neck.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Early detection of any health issues offers the best outcome when it’s time for treatment. Scheduling periodic oral cancer exams with our team should be part of your dental routine. Exams should be done more frequently as patients age.

Fillings

Cavities are the most common tooth issue patients face, and while they’re less frequent as people age, everyone is at risk of developing them at any point. We remove decaying portions of teeth and repair the damage with quality, durable fillings that last.

Periodontal Gum Therapy

You should take a diagnosis of periodontal gum disease seriously. We’ll suggest at-home remedies and perform gum therapy in the office to treat the issue.

Make Regular Visits Part of Your Dental Plan

While the ADA recommends bi-annual cleanings for every patient, you’ll find that dental insurance providers support this too, and include bi-annual cleanings in coverage. Starting with this plan, you can stay ahead of dental complications and receive the general services you need regularly for a healthy set of teeth. Of course, if you should experience any discomfort, redness, or an accident that affects your mouth in between your cleanings, we urge you to contact us as soon as possible for an appointment to address any issues.
