If you value your smile, taking good care of your teeth and gums is a must. Brushing and flossing regularly will help, but to ensure optimal dental health, you need to see your general or family dentist regularly.
Your general dentist acts as your primary dental care provider throughout your life. General dentists provide many types of dental services to meet the needs of both individual patients and families. By diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions that affect your teeth and gums, your dentist helps you maintain proper dental health at every age.
In general family dentistry, the focus is on lifelong dental health. Your dentist will keep your smile looking great by performing periodic exams, filling cavities, cleaning your teeth, treating dental diseases and injuries, and helping you perfect your home dental care routine. If you experience unexpected symptoms, your dentist will determine the underlying cause and resolve it before serious damage occurs.
Our skilled general dentists provide a wide range of services to meet your dental needs, including tests, treatments and preventative care. Here is a list of the general dentistry services that we offer.
If your teeth and gums are healthy, you should visit your general dental office every six months for a checkup. Your dentist may want to see you more often if you have a chronic dental health problem or a medical condition that could affect your teeth and gums.
The cost of your visit depends on your insurance coverage and what your dentist needs to do to ensure your overall dental health. For specific details about treatments and office fees, contact us directly.
We can help you make a dental appointment at a convenient time and date. Contact our office today so that we can connect you with a knowledablge and experienced dental provider in your area.
Dentist general practice appointments can take as little as 30 minutes for routine checkups. If advanced dental procedures are required, you may need to reserve several hours for your visit. Contact us to determine how long you can expect your next visit to last.
To ensure your appointment goes smoothly, be sure to arrive on time and bring along helpful documents such as your dental insurance information and a list of your current medications. If you suffer from dental anxiety or panic symptoms, inform our staff so that we can better meet your needs during your visit.
Unfortunately, many people skip their dental checkups, and this can have serious consequences. If tooth decay or gum disease progresses unnoticed, treating it becomes more difficult and costly. Untreated dental disease also greatly increases the risk of eventual tooth loss, and it can also be detrimental to your general health. To ensure that your smile stays healthy and intact, see your dentist every six months for an exam and professional cleaning. Call us today to schedule your next appointment.
