Enjoy Your Best Smile With Cleanings & Exams

Dental cleanings and exams are the cornerstone of general dental care and essential for maintaining lifelong oral health.

Our skilled hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing misses. We clean between teeth and along the gumline, then polish your teeth to a natural shine. This leaves your mouth feeling fresh and your smile looking its best.

Our detailed dental exams go beyond just looking for cavities. We check for early signs of gum disease, examine your jaw alignment, screen for oral cancer, and assess old dental work to ensure it's still protecting your teeth.

Digital X-rays help us spot potential problems hidden below the surface. This allows for early treatment that saves you time, money, and discomfort.

Get a Variety of General Dentistry Treatments

Our practice provides care for a wide range of common oral health concerns.

You can get gentle, nonsurgical gum disease treatment that removes infection and helps gums heal. If you grind your teeth or play sports, we provide custom-fitted mouthguards to protect your teeth from damage.

If you struggling with dry mouth, we offer effective help to restore comfort and prevent the increased cavity risk associated with reduced saliva. We can also help with halitosis (bad breath). Your dentist will identify and address the root causes rather than simply masking symptoms.

These targeted treatments help maintain your overall oral health and boost your confidence.

What is general dentistry?

Daily oral hygiene is essential to keeping your mouth clean and healthy. But as important as brushing and flossing are, they aren’t enough on their own to protect your teeth and gums. General dentistry covers a wide range of treatments designed to help you prevent and detect dental problems, so you can keep your oral health on track.

What foods are healthy for my teeth?

Nutritious foods that benefit your overall health also help you maintain healthy teeth. Adding fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and calcium-rich foods like cheese into your diet is a good start. Certain fruits and vegetables, with their high water and fiber content, function as a natural toothbrush and remove plaque from your teeth. Nuts make an excellent snack option as they contain minerals that strengthen tooth enamel, making it less vulnerable to cavities.

Is chewing gum bad for teeth?

Chewing sugar-free gum can actually be beneficial for your teeth. It stimulates saliva production, which helps wash away food particles and neutralize acids. However, gum with sugar can contribute to tooth decay. Look for gum sweetened with xylitol, a natural sugar substitute that can actually help prevent cavities. As always, moderation is key. So enjoy a piece of sugar-free gum after meals to freshen your breath and promote oral health, but be mindful of excessive chewing that can strain your jaw muscles.
