What does a general dentist do?

Our doctors are general dentists and have the skills to offer comprehensive services to help maintain the health of your teeth, gums, and bone. We are your family dentists.

What type of training and educational programs do general dentists complete?

General dentists complete a four-year undergraduate program, followed by four years of dental school. Our doctors also enroll in continuing education programs to ensure that you receive the finest dental care possible.

What can I expect from my consultation?

During your consultation, you will meet with the doctor and discuss your concerns. The doctor will review your medical and dental history with you, perform an evaluation, and answer any of your dental questions. A consultation is the ideal time to ask the dentist about risks, benefits, and costs of treatment.

How often do I need to visit your office?

If your teeth are otherwise healthy and you are happy with the appearance of your smile, we recommend routine checkups and cleanings every six months to ensure your oral health. However, if you have had previous treatment for gum disease, more frequent intervals for periodontal maintenance may be suggested. Ask the dentist whether this is necessary for you.

Why do I need to see the dentist when my teeth are healthy?

Maintaining the health of your teeth is essential and our experts are equipped to help you preserve your beautiful smile for many years to come. Annual cancer screenings, bi-annual cleanings for plaque removal, and regular periodontal monitoring are critical to your oral and overall health. Regular checkups also allow you the opportunity to ask the dentist any cosmetic or general dental questions you may have.
