What is General Dentistry?
General dental procedures are specific to correcting the functioning of your teeth while helping improve cosmetic problems. General dentistry is ideal for both adult and pediatric patients. It is geared specifically to each individual patient, so your treatment will be different from another person coming in for care. We offer a wide range of different general dental procedures that can benefit your oral health.
Why is General Dentistry necessary?
General dentistry has many different purposes. For one, it helps to restore oral functioning so that it’s easier for you to eat and chew. Many procedures help to eliminate pain and problems associated with one or more teeth. Another reason for why general dentistry is so important is because it corrects cosmetic issues that you might be experiencing concerning your smile.
Who's a candidate for General Dentistry?
Everyone is a candidate for general dentistry procedures. Our goal is to provide you with the care that you and your family need in a relaxed and modern environment. We take the time to get to know each of our patients and specify care according to what they require. General dentistry can even help in providing preventative care approaches to protect your teeth.
What to expect with General Dentistry
We begin our time with patients with a cleaning and examination. This allows us to get to know the patient and create a treatment plan that is specific to them. Care is administered on an individual basis, and we always take your budgeting needs into consideration when planning out treatment for you. With the help of a complete consultation, we can get a feel for what your smile needs in order for it to look its absolute best. Some of the most common procedures you can expect with general dentistry include:
- Fillings
- Crowns and Bridge Work
- Dentures and Partials
- Root Canals
- Preventative Care
- Extractions
- Minor Oral Surgery

Dental Exams
Routine exams and cleanings at the dentist’s office are absolutely essential to maintaining optimal oral health and a functional smile.
Dental Fillings
A dental filling is a restoration that is specifically used to fill in an area of one or more teeth that have become decayed. Dental decay, known as a cavity, can infiltrate a tooth and cause it to become weak.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are thin, clear protective coverings that can be applied to the back teeth. They are meant to prevent cavities and deep staining that would otherwise occur if they weren't in place.
Root Canals
A root canal can help save your tooth, maintain the appearance of your smile, maintain chewing ability and limit the need for more dental work.
Same Day/Next Day Crowns
Tooth-colored dental crowns (or caps) are designed to completely enclose the natural teeth, building them up to an ideal size and shape.
