General Dentistry
Our main goal in general dentistry is to help you keep your mouth and smile healthy. We focus on preventive care to catch small issues before they become bigger problems that need more intensive treatments. We want to make sure your oral health is in the best shape possible and that it supports your overall health. We’re here to brighten your smile and help you live a healthier, happier life.
Cleanings And Exams
Regular exams help identify problems like cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, or even bite issues before they become more serious and require more complicated treatments. Early detection often means less discomfort and lower treatment costs. During a cleaning, your dentist or hygienist removes plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) that regular brushing and flossing can’t get rid of. Plaque buildup can lead to cavities and gum disease if not addressed.

Fillings
A composite dental filling is used to restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay, wear, or a small fracture. It’s a tooth-colored material, usually made from a resin and finely ground glass, that blends well with the natural color of your teeth.

Night Guards
A dental nightguard is a custom-fitted appliance worn over the teeth during sleep. Its primary purpose is to protect the teeth and jaw from damage caused by bruxism (teeth grinding) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, among other issues.
Oral Cancer Screenings
An oral cancer screening is a quick, routine check performed by your dentist to look for any early signs of oral cancer or precancerous changes in your mouth, throat, or surrounding areas. The main goal of this screening is to catch potential issues early, when they are easier to treat.
Preventative Dentistry
Preventative dentistry maintains and improves oral health through regular checkups and care with your dentist AND the things you do at home to help prevent common dental problems, such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay. The goal is to avoid the need for extensive dental treatments by catching issues early and practicing good oral hygiene habits on a daily basis.
Brushing your teeth at least twice a day is absolutely key, and don’t forget your tongue to help keep your breath fresh. Flossing is the only way to clean between your teeth, and a Waterpik effectively cleans plaque trapped beneath your gumlines. A healthy diet, low in sugar, supports your teeth and gums, while fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent cavities.

Sealants
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied inside the grooves of the chewing surfaces of healthy back teeth (molars and premolars) to help prevent cavities. The main purpose of dental sealants is to create a barrier that shields these teeth from food particles, plaque, and bacteria that can lead to decay.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is the ultimate way to enhance your smile and boost your confidence! Over time, our teeth can become stained from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, or just the natural aging process. Whitening treatments help restore the brightness of your teeth, giving you a fresh, youthful look and a radiant smile that’s sure to turn heads.
