What is General Dentistry?

General dentistry entails the evaluation, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental conditions that affect the oral cavity, as well as the maxillofacial area and associated structure. General dentists provide a wide array of services that are vital to a patient's continued health.

Oral Health Concerns. Dentists address overall health concerns, as oral health is seen as the mirror of one’s general health. In fact, some dental problems may reflect issues in other parts of the body and vice versa. Dentists can help you prevent tooth decay and periodontal disease by performing oral cancer screenings. 

Cosmetic Services. They can perform a variety of cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, porcelain crowns, porcelain veneers, and onlays. Dentists can brighten stained or discolored teeth, reshape teeth, and fill gaps between teeth. Part of dentistry is having teeth with a symmetrical aesthetic appearance. 

Preventative Care. Dentists help to maintain good oral health by stopping disease before it takes hold in the mouth. A deep cleaning can remove plaque, tartar buildup, and check your gums for signs of periodontal disease. They also provide restorative services to treat a dental concern in a timely and effective manner.
