General dentistry covers the everyday care that keeps your teeth and gums healthy — examinations, professional cleaning, fillings, and the early detection of problems before they become painful or expensive.
Most serious dental work exists because something small was left alone. A regular check-up is the cheapest and least invasive dentistry there is.
What treatment involves
- 01
Examination
We check your teeth, gums, bite, and soft tissues, and take X-rays where they are needed to see what an examination alone cannot.
- 02
Cleaning
Professional scaling removes hardened plaque that brushing cannot reach, particularly along and below the gumline.
- 03
Treatment plan
If anything needs attention, we explain what we found, what your options are, and what each involves — in writing, before any work begins.
Good to know
- Bring a list of any medications you take and any medical conditions you are being treated for.
- Tell us if you are anxious about dental treatment. It is common, and it changes how we approach your visit.
- If something hurts, do not wait for your next scheduled check-up.
