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.
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.
Cosmetic Dentistry. 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.
Family Dentistry. Dentists address oral health at every stage of life, from infancy through adulthood. From the earliest check-ups to orthodontic evaluations, your dentist listens to your concerns and guides you through every stage. They may recommend sealants to protect your teeth over time and prevent tooth decay.
