Enhance Your Oral Health With General Dental Care
General dentistry includes a wide array of services. These treatments share a common goal of protecting your teeth and gums from disease and damage. Visiting our practice for regular checkups every six months will help you avoid dental problems that harm your smile. Plus, as our patient, you’ll find that we perform most of our procedures in-house.
Your dentists use advanced technology to streamline your appointments. Digital X-rays, 3-D scanners, and our CEREC machine for same-day restorations also ensure you receive the best results from treatment.
Your general dental care includes:
- Cleanings and Exams – Your hygienist will clean your teeth, getting rid of any plaque and tartar build-up. Our ultrasonic equipment is thorough yet gentle. Our team will also examine your mouth for signs of cavities, oral cancer, and gum disease.
- Gum Disease Treatment – If you show signs of a gum infection, your dentist can treat the disease with numerous treatment options. You may receive a deep cleaning procedure which includes scaling and root planing. It may be combined with other treatments, such as antibacterial irrigation or topical antibiotics.
- Mouthguards – Your dentist can give you a custom oral appliance that will fit you perfectly. It’s ideal to stop teeth grinding or prevent sports injuries. Our guards will last longer than anything you find in the store or purchase online.
- Sleep Apnea Appliances – If you show signs of sleep apnea, your dentist can arrange a sleep test. Once this condition has been confirmed, you can get a customized appliance that keeps your airways open while you sleep.
In addition, if you are dealing with a dental emergency, our team can help. Your dentist can see you on the same day whenever possible, and even after hours if you need immediate urgent care. There’s no need to worry or feel anxious.
Discuss Your Smile Goals During Your Visit
Your checkup is a fantastic time to bring up any goals you have for your smile. You may consider:
- Straightening Your Teeth – If you have misaligned teeth, you can begin your journey to a straighter smile with Invisalign.
- Brightening Your Smile – Eliminate stains with teeth whitening treatments. You can also opt for veneers or bonding for especially stubborn stains.
- Eliminating Imperfections – Get rid of chips, cracks, small gaps, and slightly overlapping teeth with veneers or bonding.

I wrote the following about a year ago and now I’m 89. I really can’t improve on what I wrote, unless I put it in BOLD, CAPS, AND UNDERLINED SCRIPT. This time, Dr. Irvine(I call her Dr Beauty!) actually driled through an implant to tighten it(then patched it flawlessly)and I didn’t even have novocane and felt nothing!!!! (now for last years’ post): She and her staff are the most friendly, knowledgeable, caring, and PAIN FREE of any dentists I’ve been to in my 88 years! I actually look forward to an enjoyable time when I go-HA!!! It’s like going to a party, with all the laughs and lovely faces around me!!! Joe Parascand

Dr. Irvine fixed a busted crown for me today and did her usual excellent job, i.e. no pain, well-explained, reasonable terms, with help from her courteous and always welcoming team (today it was Marciola; great job!). My wife and I feel lucky to have Dr. Irvine’s group available to us. Dr. Moran has to be one the best dentists in the area. She’s thorough, knowledgeable, technically savvy and friendly. My wife and I have relied on her for some 15 years now. She and Dr. Irvine (also very talented) have built a solid, customer-focused team. I would definitely recommend either dentist for your personal care.

Best practice in the area. The staff is well-educated and generous with their knowledge. Having an advocate for my teeth and gums was not on my bingo card for 2025, but here we are. Dr. Irvine is the absolute best dentist and Grace, the hygenist, is as amazing as the song says she is 😉. I couldn’t recommend a better office or group of people, from front desk to checkout, everyone is a rockstar!

Just returned from my first visit. It was great!! Highly professional and very friendly at every turn. Jeri, who cleaned my teeth, did an exceptional job. Really liked my previous dentist (of over 30 years), but he retired and prices had been going up quickly. Definitely recommend these folks. Just went today for my second cleaning. As before, it was a great experience. Jerilyn is amazing! Whatsherface the dentist too. The technology these folks have is amazing. If you don’t have a fantastic dentist, go to Providence Dentistry. 03/15/22 appointment. Again, a very pleasant experience at “The Dentist.” Sounds like an oxymoron, but it’s really true.

Trusted Providence Dentistry for over 5 years and have the utmost confidence in their professionalism and competence. Today Mauri did a great and thorough cleaning with a few X-rays. Dr. Irvine came in, checked me out and except for one problem tooth all is well. We trust and appreciate Providence Dentistry and the entire staff.

Visited just a few days ago to launch an Implant, and benefitted from a concise, yet thorough, explanation of what the process involves from Dr. Irvine’s personable and clearly competent Assistant, Jackie. I am impressed by the innovative utilization of technology and engineering in the preparation for, construction of and manner of firmly securing the implant. The amount of thought, time and planning involved in this important procedure, plus the obvious skill and caring of Dr. Irvine and her Team have, once again, occasioned my “Thank You” to the source of my initial referral to the practice!

Oh My Gosh! Dr. Tori Irvine and her assistant Jackie, as well as the administrative staff…and everyone there are fantastic! I had a cavity in a wisdom tooth that was taken care of…that could have lead to an eventual root canal. No pain, sensation…or any kind of uncomfortableness. Dr. Irvine’s professional expertise is beyond description! How’s this: I walked out feeling my tooth was the same as before I walked in! Regardless of one’s stage in life, you could not go to a better dental practice!!!

2025 update: Hygienist Emily performed a thorough cleaning, and I truly enjoyed interacting with her, as well as doctors Huh and Scott. 2024- Today, a beautiful in-house created porcelain crown was placed at the same visit as my tooth prep. Dr. Patel and assistant Sam couldn’t have been more kind and attentive!! I was also VERY comfortable with the neck pillow they gave to me. I am grateful to the entire Providence Dentistry staff. The front desk staff are also wonderful.

I don’t mind having a temporary crown, in fact that’s what I’m used too; and then getting regular crown later. Now a days crowns are done in the office with new technology, but with the new software I think Dr Irwin did the best she could. I’m glad if she wasn’t satisfied she wasn’t going to make it work. I’m OK waiting for new crown to be fixed off site. But; it was a long 3 hours with the whole ordeal. Mouth is sore; but I’m fine. I would recommend Providence Dentistry to my friends. Thanks We completed the crown today and it went well; with little or no problems. I feel good so far and Dr. Irwin did a good job. Tay her dental assistant also did a good job. I have a cleaning coming up on Nov1st. LETS DO IT!!!! My cleaning on the 9th was great with Emily. She does a great job!!! 12-3-24 I had a cleaning today with Emily and she was great. She is really the only one that cleans my teeth and I’m very satisfied with her expertise. She is also very personal and a nice person. 4/11/24 Had cleaning today and Emily was fantastic. She is personable, professional and kind. She knows her patients and remembers things about them, which always makes me feel good. I would recommend her to anyone, thanks Emily!!! Cleaning was good; Emily did good job. She observed an area that needs a filing. It will done in December at my next cleaning.
Common Questions About General Dentistry
What is general dentistry?
Maintaining a beautiful smile and optimal oral health is the primary goal of general dentistry. We offer several services to achieve this, including dental cleanings and exams, gum disease treatment, preventive treatments like fluoride application and dental sealants, and custom-made mouthguards for athletes or teeth grinders. Regular dental care is crucial in preserving the health and beauty of your smile.
Why should I go to a general dentist?
General dentistry focuses on preventive care designed to keep your smile as healthy as possible by stopping issues like cavities and gum disease. So if you want your smile to look and feel good, general dentistry is essential. Regular exams and cleanings are the cornerstone of preventive care. They allow our team to find potential problems in their earliest stages when they are easiest to treat.
What is the difference between a general dentist and a specialist?
A general dentist has completed four years of dental school in addition to their undergraduate work. After dental school, a dental specialist has gone on to complete additional training in a specific area such as periodontics, endodontics, orthodontics, or another specialty. Unless you need the services of a specialist for a particular problem, a general dentist is the best choice for routine dental care.
