What is General Dentistry?

General dentistry is the branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating oral health issues. This includes regular check-ups, cleanings, and other procedures for maintaining good oral hygiene. A general dentist is your primary dental care provider responsible for managing your oral health.

Our Services

We offer a wide range of general dentistry services to meet the needs of our patients. These include:

Regular Check-Ups

Regular dental check-ups are crucial for maintaining good oral health. Our experienced team will thoroughly examine your mouth, teeth, and gums during these appointments to identify potential issues. We may also take X-rays to detect any underlying problems that are invisible to the naked eye. By catching these issues early on, we can prevent them from becoming more severe and costly.

Cleanings

Regular cleanings are an essential part of general dentistry services. Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth, leading to tooth decay and gum disease. Our dental hygienists will use specialized tools to remove the buildup of plaque and tartar from your teeth, leaving them clean and polished.

Fillings

If you have a cavity or a chipped tooth, our skilled dentists can restore the damaged area with a filling. Depending on your preferences and needs, we offer both amalgam and composite fillings. Amalgam fillings are made from a combination of metals and can be more durable, while composite fillings are tooth-colored and blend in with natural teeth.

Root Canal Therapy

When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, it can cause severe pain and discomfort. In these cases, endodontics in Beaver, Pennsylvania, or root canal therapy is necessary to remove the infected pulp and save the tooth from extraction. Our gentle and experienced team will perform this procedure carefully, ensuring you are comfortable throughout.

Extractions

While we always strive to save damaged or infected teeth, there may be situations where an extraction is necessary. This could be due to severe decay, advanced gum disease, or a problematic wisdom tooth. Our dentists will carefully evaluate your situation and discuss all options before deciding on an extraction.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition that we can treat successfully if caught early on. As part of our general dentistry services, we perform oral cancer screenings during regular check-ups to detect any early signs of the disease. This allows us to take prompt action and improve your chances of successful treatment.
