What Is General Dentistry?

Every new patient visit includes a comprehensive oral health evaluation, utilizing the most advanced imaging and assessment tools available.

Our General Dentistry Services

We offer a full range of general dental services to support your long-term oral health:

Preventive care is the foundation of dental health. Our cleanings and checkups include a full oral health screening, professional plaque removal, and a personalized at-home care plan.

Our Sirona Axeos CBCT scanner produces high-resolution, low-radiation 3D images that allow us to evaluate bone, tooth structure, nerves, and sinuses with exceptional accuracy. This is essential for implant planning, root canal therapy, and TMJ evaluation.

We use NIRI technology to detect cavities between teeth and within enamel layers, without radiation. This safe, non-invasive imaging tool helps identify decay before it appears on X-rays, allowing for proactive, conservative treatment.

We use tooth-colored composite fillings to restore teeth affected by cavities, and dental sealants to prevent decay in hard-to-reach grooves, especially in children and teens.

From early-stage gingivitis to advanced periodontal care, we offer non-surgical deep cleanings, scaling and root planing, and customized home care strategies.

This gentle cosmetic procedure removes superficial white or brown stains caused by excess fluoride, revealing a smoother, more even enamel surface.

We perform gentle extractions for teeth that are damaged, infected, or causing crowding, always focusing on comfort and healing.

Protect your smile from grinding, clenching, and sports injuries with professionally made oral appliances customized to your bite.
