GENERAL DENTISTRY
For many, the healthcare provider they visit most is their general dentist, and for good reason—general dentistry focuses on disease prevention. Around 65% of dental treatments are either diagnostic or preventative. By emphasizing dental wellness and hygiene, general dentists help prevent oral health issues that can lead to pain, missed work or school, and costly treatments.
General dentists provide care for all ages. During a typical visit, you'll receive a thorough exam, professional cleaning, and a discussion about your oral and overall health. If needed, cavities are treated with fillings, but these are just a few of the many services your general dentist offers.
