General Dentistry

The primary goal of general dentistry is to maintain the health of the teeth, gums, and jaw. This includes regular check-ups and cleanings to detect and treat any potential problems. During a regular check-up, the dentist will examine the teeth and gums to look for signs of disease, decay, or damage. The dentist will also take x-rays to look for hidden problems and assess the condition of the teeth and jaw. If any problems are found, the dentist will recommend treatment.

General dentists use a variety of treatments to maintain oral health, including fillings and root canals. Fillings are used to repair cavities, while root canals are used to save teeth when the inner pulp has become damaged or infected. In some cases, the dentist may recommend a crown or bridge to replace missing or damaged teeth. Other treatments may include tooth extractions, implants, or gum surgery. In addition to providing preventive and restorative treatments, general dentists may also provide cosmetic treatments. These treatments can include teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding. These treatments can help improve the look of the teeth, while also protecting against further damage and decay.
