General Dentistry
Why See a General Dentist?
Visiting your dentist is an essential part of your mouth’s overall health. Your teeth can last a lifetime if you take care of them properly, and regular visits to see our general dentists can help you maintain and enhance your natural smile.
Our dentists concern themselves with preventing, diagnosing, and treating your teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues. We ensure proper oral hygiene and functionality of these structures, so you have a healthy and good-looking smile. These appointments start with an in-depth examination that informs your dental care needs.
We are experts in oral healthcare and are happy to share our knowledge with advice and in-practice tutorials on proper brushing and flossing techniques. These foundational skills can help you prevent future oral health problems, and regular visits allow us to stop, uncover and treat dental issues in the early stages.
Common Conditions Our General Dentists Treat
Our dentists address and resolve many different types of dental problems. From routine examinations to more complex treatments, dentists can maintain natural teeth, repair broken teeth, and eliminate sources of dental pain.
If you have tooth decay, gum disease, bruxism, toothache, or want a dental professional to evaluate your oral health, our team is here to help.
Signs That You’re Due for an Examination
Ask any dentist, and they will recommend a dental examination every six months or more frequently, depending on your unique needs.
However, you cannot schedule a convenient time for dental problems, so take the following signs as an indication that you should come to see us before your next regularly-scheduled appointment:
- Tooth pain or sensitivity
- Gum inflammation or bleeding
- Issues with your bite
- Persistent bad breath
- Mouth sores
If you experience any of the above symptoms, please get in touch with the practice.

Why Preventative Care is Good for You and Your Wallet
We care greatly for our patients, which is why we want you to stay on top of your oral health with preventative care. These routine visits allow us to clean your teeth professionally, offer treatments that can strengthen your enamel, and prevent or resolve gum disease and tooth decay.
Ensuring your oral health is maintained will always be our priority. Missing your regular routine appointments or ignoring a dental issue is not recommended. Overall, we want to save you time, money, and pain down the road.
Preventative care allows us to diagnose and treat issues in the early stages — before they become big problems that require extensive treatment. We can help you get back on track with timely and appropriate treatment instead of a significant and complex repair.
