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.
