What’s Included in General Dentistry

We offer a full range of services to help prevent, detect, and treat common oral health concerns. Every visit is designed to protect your health and make you feel fully informed and in control of your care.

Dental Cleanings

Professional cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that brushing alone can't eliminate. Our hygienists are gentle, thorough, and committed to helping you maintain a bright, healthy smile.

Comprehensive Oral Exams

We assess the health of your teeth, gums, jaw, and bite — using advanced diagnostics to catch issues before they become painful or costly to treat.

Digital X-Rays

Safe, low-radiation imaging helps us see what’s happening below the surface — from cavities between teeth to bone health and impacted teeth.

Fluoride Treatments

This mineral-based treatment strengthens enamel and helps prevent decay, especially for children, teens, and those prone to cavities.

Dental Sealants

A quick, painless way to protect molars from cavities. Ideal for children and teens, sealants create a barrier against decay in hard-to-brush areas.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Early detection saves lives. During your exam, we check for abnormal tissue, lesions, or discoloration that could indicate early signs of oral cancer.

Oral Hygiene Education

We empower you with the tools and knowledge to care for your teeth between visits — including brushing and flossing techniques, diet tips, and preventive strategies.

What to Expect at Your Visit

If it’s your first time with us — or your first dental visit in years — don’t worry. We’re here to meet you where you are, not where you think you “should” be.

Our goal is simple: to make it easy and comfortable for you to get the care you need and deserve.

General dentistry encompasses a wide range of treatments aimed at maintaining overall oral health. It includes preventive care like cleanings and exams, as well as treatments for common dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay. 

By focusing on regular check-ups and early detection, general dentistry helps prevent minor issues from becoming major problems, saving you time, discomfort, and money in the long run.

Our General Dentistry Services

  • Routine Dental Exams: Routine exams are essential. Our experienced dentists examine your teeth and gums, checking for any signs of trouble.

  • Sealants for Added Protection: Sealants provide an extra layer of protection against decay, especially for your back teeth.
