General dentistry encompasses diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of oral health issues. It includes routine services like dental exams, cleanings, fillings, and gum care to keep your teeth and gums healthy for a lifetime.

We recommend visiting every six months for checkups and cleanings. Regular visits help detect issues early and prevent serious problems. Some patients with gum disease may need visits every 3-4 months.

Children should have their first dental visit by age one or when their first tooth appears. Early visits prevent cavities, establish good habits, and help kids feel comfortable at the dentist.

General dentists offer preventive care (cleanings, exams, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), gum disease treatment, tooth extractions, and cosmetic services like whitening.

Not at all! Modern cleanings are gentle and comfortable. We use advanced tools and techniques to make your visit relaxing. If you have sensitivity, let us know—we can adjust our approach.
