General Dentistry Is The Foundation For Keeping Our Patients in Great Health
Good dental hygiene and preventive care are essential for good oral health. Our care focuses on preventing gum disease, tooth decay, and cavities through regular check-ups, cleanings, and other preventive measures. General dentistry can also include the placement of tooth-colored fillings to restore teeth with cavities or decay. We can also identify oral health conditions requiring focused care from a specialist.
Checkups and Early Detection
Good home hygiene habits, such as brushing and flossing twice daily and avoiding sugary foods, are essential for preventing tooth decay and gum disease. Regular check-ups will ensure that any problems can be identified early and treated quickly if necessary.
At our practice, we pride ourselves on providing comprehensive general dentistry services to help you maintain optimal oral health. Our team of highly trained and experienced dental professionals can provide preventive care, fillings, and other treatments to keep your teeth healthy and strong. We also work with specialists in the event that you require more in-depth care.
We understand that prevention is key to good oral health, so we strive to ensure our patients have access to all the information they need about maintaining a healthy mouth and teeth. Contact us today to learn more about our general dentistry services and how we can help you achieve a beautiful, healthy smile!
What Happens at a Routine Visit?
Your visit starts with a conversation. We review your medical history, medications, and any concerns you have noticed, such as sensitivity, bleeding gums, or a chipped tooth. Next, we take any needed digital X-rays, which use far less radiation than traditional film, and Dr. Bartusiak or Dr. Whitfield performs a careful exam of your teeth, gums, bite, and soft tissues, including an oral cancer screening.
One of our hygienists then removes plaque and tartar, polishes your teeth, and shares tips for brushing and flossing based on what we see. If we find a problem, we explain your options in plain language, show you photos when helpful, and give you a clear estimate before any treatment begins. Many issues can be handled the same day, so you spend less time away from work or school.
Caring for Every Age
Our patients range from toddlers getting their first checkup to seniors maintaining dentures and implants. Having the whole family seen in one office makes scheduling easier, keeps everyone's records in one place, and lets us spot patterns, such as a family tendency toward cavities or gum problems, earlier.
