What Is General Dentistry?
General dentistry is the branch of dentistry focused on maintaining and improving overall oral health. It encompasses various preventive, diagnostic, and restorative services to keep your teeth, gums, and mouth in optimal condition. General dentists are often considered the primary care providers for oral health, serving as the first point of contact for routine dental care and addressing common concerns.
What Services Do We Offer?
At Honest Practices, we offer a full range of general dentistry services tailored to your needs:
Oral Exams
Regular oral exams are essential to maintaining good oral health. During your appointment, we thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and bite to detect any signs of cavities, gum disease, or other issues before they worsen.
Oral Cancer Screening
Early detection can save lives. That’s why we include oral cancer screenings as part of your routine visit. We use advanced techniques to check for abnormalities or early warning signs, giving you peace of mind.
Fillings
Cavities happen, but treating them shouldn’t disrupt your confidence. Our tooth-colored fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring their strength and function while maintaining a flawless appearance.
Crown and Bridge
Do you have damaged or missing teeth? Crowns and bridges offer durable, long-lasting solutions. Crowns restore individual teeth, while bridges fill gaps with natural-looking replacements, helping you chew, speak, and smile with ease.
Dentures
Whether you need partial or full dentures, we design them for comfort and functionality. We aim to help you enjoy life’s moments without worrying about your smile.
How Often Should I Schedule an Appointment?
The American Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist every six months for an oral exam and cleaning. These regular check-ups allow us to monitor your oral health, address any concerns early, and keep your smile in excellent condition.
If you have specific dental concerns, such as gum disease or a history of cavities, we may recommend more frequent visits to ensure your oral health remains on track.
