Our General Dental Treatments and Services

General and family dentistry encompasses a number of dental treatments that are aimed at helping you achieve and maintain optimal oral health for a lifetime. Our experienced dentists and team are pleased to provide comprehensive general and family dentistry to meet all of your family’s dental needs and goals for a healthy, beautiful smile.

Dental Cleanings & Exams

Keep your smile fresh and healthy with routine check-ups and cleanings. Our dentists can detect issues early, or identify and treat already-present problems, like cavities, gum disease, and more.

Dental X-Rays

X-rays allow us to get a greater understanding of your oral health. We can find issues in hard-to-reach areas, in the jawbone, and other areas not seen by the naked eye.

Emergency Dental Care

We treat toothaches, pains, infections, broken or chipped teeth, and more. Our emergency dentists can free you from pain and discomfort through a variety of dental care options.

iTero® Digital Scanning

We use advanced scanning technology to create detailed and unique 3D images of your teeth. This allows us to more accurately diagnosis and treatment plan.

Periodontal Disease Treatment

Our techniques address inflamed or bleeding gums, restoring your oral health and placing you back on track for a lifetime of great smiles. Patients can help prevent serious complications such as tooth loss, bone deterioration, and even health issues like heart disease and diabetes.

Preventive Care

We create personalized treatment plans designed to prevent dental issues and support lifelong oral wellness. Preventive care includes routine checkups and professional cleanings every six months. During these visits, we check for early signs of gum recession, tooth decay, enamel wear, or changes in your bite, which help us catch issues before they become serious.

TMJ Treatment

TMJ disorders can lead to jaw pain, headaches, facial discomfort, and difficulty chewing or fully opening your mouth. Our TMJ treatments relieve pain, restore function, and prevent long-term complications. Addressing TMJ helps to avoid worsening joint damage, jaw locking, chronic migraines, ear pain, tooth grinding, enamel wear, and tooth loss.

Our dental doctors are constantly continuing their education and refining their skills. We use advanced, state-of-the-art dentistry techniques and technologies to create truly amazing smile outcomes.

The Importance of Preventive Care

We recommend all patients visit us once every six months.

During these routine appointments, we will provide a thorough dental cleaning and exam to make sure that your smile is in good health. Depending on your individual dental needs, you may need to come to our office more often.

There are plenty of benefits of being proactive with your dental health.

Preventative care is important because:

• It allows us to detect issues early before they become bigger problems
• Regular cleanings will keep your smile healthy and bright
• You’ll have a lower risk of cavities and gum disease

Preventive care is tied to your overall wellness, too.

A healthy mouth reduces the risk of heart disease and diabetes. During your twice-yearly cleanings, you’re addressing harmful bacteria and gum disease, which can cause inflammation and complications that make these conditions worse.

If you notice any type of dental pain or damage, or experience a dental emergency, we urge you to contact us as soon as possible to receive the high-quality dental care you need.

Insurance and Payment Options

Finances shouldn’t be what prevents you from having a healthy smile. That’s why we accept many insurance plans and financing options at our dental offices. We also offer an in-house dental savings plan for those without dental insurance.

Our team will work with you to find a solution that best fits your care and budget.
