What is General Dentistry?
General dentistry includes a variety of treatments aimed at maintaining and improving oral health. It focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating common dental issues to keep smiles healthy at every stage of life.
Preventive dental care, including routine exams and professional cleanings, helps identify potential problems before they develop into more serious concerns like decay, gum disease, or infections. Restorative treatments, including fillings and crowns, repair damaged teeth and restore function.
At Smile by Design Dental Group, we provide comprehensive general dentistry services to support your long-term oral health.
Preventive Dentistry
The best way to avoid serious dental problems is through preventive care. Our preventive dentistry services include:
- Dental Cleanings and Checkups: Routine cleanings maintain oral hygiene by removing plaque and tartar, while exams play a crucial role in identifying cavities, gum disease, and other dental concerns at an early stage.
- Fluoride Treatments: Strengthens enamel and helps prevent tooth decay, especially for children and those at higher risk of cavities.
- Dental Sealants: A thin, protective layer applied to molars to shield against cavities and decay.
- Gum Disease Treatment:Â Diagnosis and care to stop gum disease from advancing and causing further oral health issues.
Restorative Dentistry
When teeth are affected by decay or damage, restorative dentistry helps restore their strength, function, and appearance. Our restorative dentistry services include:
- Tooth-Colored Fillings: Aesthetic composite fillings blend with natural teeth while repairing cavities.
- Crowns and Bridges: Custom restorations to strengthen damaged teeth or replace missing teeth.
- Root Canal Therapy: A treatment that removes infection from a damaged tooth while preserving its structure.
- Dentures and Partial Dentures: Custom-designed removable prosthetics that replace missing teeth while restoring function and aesthetics.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Improving your smile can boost self-esteem and refine your appearance. In addition to restorative services, we offer cosmetic treatments such as:
- Porcelain Veneers: Thin shells that cover imperfections like chips, gaps, and stains.
- Dental Bonding: A quick and effective way to repair minor flaws in teeth.
- Invisalign: A discreet alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth.
