General Dentistry

General dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health through regular checkups, cleanings, and preventative care. The main services offered in a general dentistry practice include routine exams, teeth cleanings, fillings, extractions, root canal therapy, and crowns or bridges. These procedures are aimed at preserving natural teeth, restoring function, and preventing oral health problems such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. Additionally, general dentists may also offer cosmetic dentistry services such as teeth whitening and veneers,  to enhance the appearance of a patient’s smile. Overall, general dentistry practices strive to provide comprehensive oral care for patients of all ages and maintain their oral health for a lifetime.

Dental implants   consist of a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as the root of the missing tooth, and a customized crown is attached to the post to replace the visible part of the tooth. Dental implants provide a permanent and stable replacement for missing teeth, as they integrate with the bone and act like a natural tooth. They can also improve oral function, such as biting and chewing and help preserve the jawbone and surrounding teeth. The process of getting dental implants typically involves several appointments with the dentist, including a consultation to assess candidacy, surgical placement of the implant post, and the placement of the crown after the implant has fused with the jawbone. Overall, dental implants offer a long-lasting and natural-looking solution for missing teeth, improving both the function and appearance of a patient’s smile.

Dental restoration refers to the process of repairing damaged or decayed teeth to restore their function, appearance, and oral health. The type of restoration used depends on the extent of the damage, but common procedures include fillings, inlays/onlays, crowns, bridges, and dental implants. Fillings are used to repair cavities, while inlays and onlays are used to repair larger areas of decay. Crowns are used to restore damaged teeth or to cover dental implants, and bridges are used to replace missing teeth by attaching artificial teeth to surrounding teeth. Restoration procedures are performed by a dentist and typically involve removing the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth, cleaning and shaping the area, and placing the restoration material. The goal of dental restoration is to restore the natural form and function of the damaged tooth, improve oral health, and prevent further damage or decay.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on enhancing the appearance of a person’s teeth, gums, and bite. Dentists who offer cosmetic dentistry services use a variety of techniques to improve the color, shape, size, alignment, and overall smile of their patients. This may include treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers, dental implants, crowns, bridges, and orthodontic procedures such as braces or clear aligners. The goal of cosmetic dentistry is to help patients achieve a confident, beautiful smile that improves their overall quality of life.
