What are our general dental care services?

Although good oral health starts with you, it doesn’t end there. Daily brushing and flossing are good for oral health, but you need an experienced dentist as your partner and backup. We offer exceptional dental care services to ensure you enjoy all-rounded care.

Discover your beautiful, healthy smile with the following general dentistry services.

  • Family dentistry: The word family means a lot to us. We offer family-friendly services to give all your loved ones a reason to smile. From the youngest to the oldest, smiles of all ages are welcome in our office. As a family dentist, we care for your family’s dental care under one roof, saving you multiple trips to several dentists.
  • Teeth cleanings: We provide routine dental exams and cleanings to detect and treat oral issues before they progress and become significant headaches. Routine teeth cleanings remove troublesome plaque and tartar to prevent infections, decay, and other oral problems.
  • Dental X-rays: Our visual exams can only see so much. Digital radiographs visualize oral structures beneath the gum line as the next level of preventive dental care. Moreover, digital radiography helps with precise treatment planning for outstanding clinical outcomes.  
  • Sealants and fluoride treatments: Sometimes, you need more than routine preventive dental care to protect your smile from decay. Dental sealants create a protective barrier on your teeth to protect your teeth from cavities. Fluoride treatments reverse early signs of decay and strengthen your enamel against decay.
  • Fillings: We treat cavities and minor tooth decay with tooth-colored fillings. We prefer composite fillings because they are aesthetically appealing, durable, and safe. Besides, white fillings are minimally invasive, helping us to preserve much of your natural tooth.
  • Root canals: We repair infected or badly damaged teeth with root canal treatment. This procedure involves removing the infected pulp and restoring your tooth with biocompatible materials. A root canal-treated tooth looks and functions like other teeth and can last a lifetime with proper care.
  • Extractions: We try everything possible to preserve your teeth, but extractions are sometimes necessary. When you have extra, impacted, or severely damaged teeth, our team will offer gentle yet effective extractions to preserve oral health.
