General Dentistry

Why General Dentistry Matters


General dentistry is the cornerstone of a healthy and beautiful smile. Even individuals with excellent dental habits are encouraged to see the dentist at least twice a year for a general and preventive checkup. In addition to a cleaning and full oral exam, patients can learn about procedures that may be right for their dental needs, such as dentures, dental implants, and cosmetic dentistry services.

Regular Cleanings

Removing Tartar and Plaque

Using special tools, we will scrape away plaque and tartar that's accumulated on your teeth, especially around the gums. This helps prevent gum disease as well as tooth decay along the gumline.

Professional Polishing

After scraping off the tartar and plaque, a hygienist uses a professional electric toothbrush to polish your teeth. Working gently yet thoroughly, every surface of a tooth is cleaned until it is pristine.

Flossing by a Hygienist

Finally, the hygienist will floss your teeth, getting those hard-to-reach places between your teeth and around the back molars. Professional cleanings get your mouth cleaner than you can at home.
