Get Essential Care for 
Healthy Smiles

We welcome patients 6 years and older for routine dental care. Professional cleanings and exams remove harmful buildup and catch issues before they become big problems. Our digital X-rays show what's happening inside your teeth and gums.

Protective sealants can be placed on molars to stop cavities from forming. These clear barriers block out decay-causing germs. We also treat dry mouth conditions and freshen breath so you can smile with confidence.

Deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing help fight gum disease. These treatments can save your teeth and improve your overall mouth health.

Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry

What is general dentistry?
General dentistry includes several beneficial services that will help you maintain a beautiful smile and healthy mouth. These services include dental cleanings, dental exams, gum disease treatment, and custom-fit mouthguards. General dentistry forms the cornerstone of good oral health, so we recommend you visit us routinely for your preventive dental care.
Can I prevent cavities?
Maintaining good oral hygiene practices and seeking regular care from a dentist significantly reduce the risk of cavities. Make sure you brush at least twice daily using fluoride toothpaste and get a dental checkup every six months. Limit the intake of sugary or acidic foods and drinks. To boost your cavity prevention, ask our dental team about fluoride treatment and dental sealants.
Can general dentistry improve my daily comfort?
Yes. Treatments for conditions like dry mouth or bad breath can directly help your day-to-day comfort. Relief from dryness makes eating and speaking easier, while addressing the causes of halitosis gives you fresher breath. General dentistry focuses on both your health and your quality of life.
