General dentistry refers to common procedures used to address oral health issues and improve the overall health, function, and beauty of a patient’s smile. We often use our general dentistry procedures to correct smile issues in the early stages and in some cases, prevent the onset of health complications completely.

- Fillings: Do you have a cavity? If so we can now place a metal-free filling. Made from composite, the material can be shaded to better blend with the remaining tooth structure. The procedure can be completed in a single visit and can help prevent the decay from becoming an infection.
- Crowns: We may place a crown for a variety of reasons, including repairing damaged teeth, restoring decayed teeth, anchoring a dental bridge in place, correcting cosmetic issues, and completing a dental implant. We make them from a variety of materials; we will choose one based on where the restoration will need to be placed.
- Root Canals: If you have an infected tooth, which may the result of a chip, fracture, or decay in the tooth, then we can correct the issue with a root canal procedure. This general procedure involves removing decay and filling the tooth before capping it with a custom-made dental crown.
- Dental Sealants and Fluoride Treatments: We may use either one of these to prevent the onset of cavities in children. Sealants coat the rear teeth, preventing food from becoming stuck between them. Fluoride is applied in a varnish, strengthening the outer enamel.
- Orthodontics: If you have misalignment then we may suggest orthodontic treatment. As part of our general treatments, orthodontics address misalignment to improve the health and beauty of a patient’s smile. If you have any questions, please contact our office today.
