General Dentistry
General dentistry for families: checkups, scaling & polishing, tooth-colored fillings, extractions, and preventive care to keep your smile healthy.
General Dentistry
General dentistry is the foundation of lifelong oral health. Our focus is prevention first—so small issues are treated early, before they become painful or expensive.
What this service includes
- Scaling & polishing to remove plaque/tartar and freshen breath
- Tooth-colored fillings to restore decay with a natural look
- Extractions when a tooth cannot be saved
- Teeth whitening for safe, clinically guided brightening
When to visit
- Routine checkups (every 6 months for many patients)
- Sensitivity, toothache, bleeding gums, bad breath
- Food trapping, chipped tooth, or old fillings that feel rough
Why prevention matters
Early diagnosis helps avoid emergency pain, advanced infections, and major procedures. A planned, calm approach is often faster and more affordable than crisis treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I do scaling & polishing?
Many patients benefit every 6 months. If you have gum issues, orthodontic braces, or high tartar buildup, we may recommend more frequent visits.
Are tooth-colored fillings strong?
Yes. Modern composite fillings bond to tooth structure and work well for many cavities. We’ll recommend alternatives if a tooth needs greater reinforcement.
Does whitening damage teeth?
Professional whitening is designed to be enamel-safe when done correctly. We’ll assess sensitivity and choose the safest protocol for you.
