Enjoy Your Best Smile With Our General Dentistry Treatments
Your comfort and dental health are our first priorities. Our commitment to quality guides every aspect of our work here and ensures that we always exceed your expectations. We believe in giving you technically advanced dentistry with personalized attention.
When you visit us for your first appointment as a new patient, you can expect a comprehensive evaluation that includes:
- A full set of digital X-rays to detect any potential concerns
- A state-of-the-art cavity detector to identify areas of early tooth decay
- An intraoral camera to capture detailed images of your teeth and gums
- A visual exam performed by our skilled dentist to assess your overall oral health
In addition to our thorough evaluations and cleanings, we also offer general dentistry services to address specific oral health concerns such as:
- Dry Mouth Treatment – If you suffer from chronic dry mouth, your dentist can help identify the underlying causes and recommend appropriate treatments to help reduce symptoms and protect your oral health. Your options may include saliva substitutes, moisturizing rinses, or lifestyle modifications.
- Nonsurgical Gum Disease Treatment – When gum disease threatens your oral health, we offer effective, non-invasive treatments to restore your gums and prevent further damage. These may include scaling and root planing to remove harmful bacteria below the gumline, topical antibiotics to fight infection, and antibacterial irrigation to promote healing.
Your dentist can also improve your overall health and well-being by providing a custom mouthguard to help relieve jaw pain from a dysfunctional TMJ or to enable you to breathe easily and get better rest at night. Ask if you could benefit from:
- TMJ Mouthguard – Your dentist can perform a computerized bite analysis to help identify the source of your TMJ issues. You may find relief with a custom-made night guard. You’ll wear it at night. It prevents teeth grinding, a problem often associated with TMJ disorders. This lessens jaw pain, headaches, and other TMJ symptoms. It also protects teeth from damage caused by grinding.
- Sleep Apnea Mouthguard – A sleep disorder like apnea can cause breathing difficulties during the night. This leads to loud snoring and disrupts your rest. Your overall health is often affected too. Problems like high blood pressure and heart disease have been linked to sleep apnea. If you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea, we can provide you with a mouthguard that keeps your airway open while you sleep. A mouthguard works well for mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea. Many patients prefer a mouthguard to a CPAP. Our team is also happy to work with medical companies to collect payment for your mouthguard.

Common Questions About General Dentistry
Maintaining a beautiful smile and optimal oral health is the primary goal of general dentistry. We offer several services to achieve this, including dental cleanings and exams, gum disease treatment, and custom-made mouthguards for TMJ treatment or sleep apnea symptoms. Regular dental care is crucial in preserving the health and beauty of your smile.
Your mouth naturally creates a film over your teeth that becomes plaque. Plaque can harden into tartar, and tartar can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. By brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing once a day, you break the film before it can become tartar. When you visit us for regular teeth cleanings, we’ll remove tartar from any spots you missed. We can also coat your teeth with fluoride to toughen your enamel and fight tooth decay.
The need for dental X-rays depends on your individual oral health and treatment requirements. X-rays provide valuable information that helps us detect cavities, assess bone health, and identify potential issues that may not be visible to the naked eye. We will evaluate your specific situation and recommend X-rays if necessary, ensuring that they are used judiciously and with your safety in mind.
