What Is General and Family Dentistry?
General dentistry includes the standard dental services that are necessary to maintain your dental and oral health. Family dentistry means that we see patients of all ages so that families can come to one location for dental care.
Benefits of General and Family Dentistry
There are many benefits of going to a general and family dental practice:
Prevent tooth decay. The primary goal of general dentistry is to maintain your dental health by preventing tooth decay. Professional teeth cleanings every 6 months can help keep your teeth healthy and in place, ideally for the rest of your life.
Improve oral health. Regular dental care improves your oral health by preventing gum disease and providing early detection of soft tissue abnormalities.
Improve overall health and wellness. Oral health directly affects your overall health and wellness. Better oral health reduces your risk of heart disease and diabetes.
Convenient dental care. Family dentistry is convenient because it allows the whole family to receive dental care in one location. Appointments can be scheduled at the same time for everyone so you can make one trip.
Visit one dental practice for life. A family dentist sees patients of all ages, meaning your child can continue with the same dental practice from their first appointment through adulthood.
Procedures Offered
We provide the following general and family dentistry services:
Teeth Cleanings
We provide thorough cleaning of the teeth to remove plaque and calculus (hardened plaque) to prevent tooth decay.
Oral Examinations
We perform an oral examination of the teeth and soft tissues of the mouth, face, and neck. Dental X-Rays may be taken to detect any hidden problems that may need to be addressed.
Oral Cancer Screening
We check for soft tissue abnormalities that could be an indication of oral cancer. Early detection greatly improves outcomes for oral cancer treatment.
Custom Oral Appliances
We can create mouthguards for sports and night guards for teeth grinding that are custom made to fit comfortably and protect your teeth.
Dental Fillings
We provide tooth-colored fillings to repair cavities in teeth for a natural appearance.
Dental Crowns
A tooth that is too decayed or damaged to be saved with a filling can be restored with a crown, a tooth-shaped cover placed over the existing tooth.
Invisalign® Treatment
We offer Invisalign, the latest technology in orthodontic treatment. Invisalign consists of clear, invisible aligners that fit over the teeth to shift them into proper alignment.
Dental Extractions
Teeth may need to be extracted for a variety of reasons from decay or damage to orthodontic purposes. We provide extractions of primary and permanent teeth when necessary.
Dental Implants
Teeth that are missing or too damaged to be saved can be replaced with dental implants. Implants are surgically placed in the jaw to provide a natural look and function.
