General & Preventive
What General & Preventive Dentistry Includes
General and preventive care covers the everyday visits that keep small problems from turning into big ones. This includes routine cleanings, checkups, digital X-rays, fillings, extractions, and screenings for gum disease and oral cancer. Think of it as the foundation of your dental health. When you keep up with these visits, you lower your risk of cavities, gum disease, and other issues that can be harder, and more costly, to treat later.
Our team also handles fillings, extractions, and dental emergencies, so you have one place to turn for the care your smile needs, from a six-month cleaning to an unexpected toothache.

Our General & Preventive Services
Call to Book a VisitHere's a closer look at what we offer under our general and preventive care.
Cleanings, Exams & Digital X-Rays
Routine cleanings and exams are the backbone of preventive care. During these visits, our hygienists remove plaque and tartar buildup, and our doctors check for early signs of decay or other concerns. We also use digital X-rays to spot issues you can't see or feel yet, using less radiation than older film X-ray methods.

Fillings, Extractions & Emergency Care
When a cavity does develop, we treat it with a filling to stop decay and restore the tooth. If a tooth is too damaged to save, or if crowding calls for it, we can perform an extraction. And when pain or an injury can't wait, our emergency dentistry team is ready to see you and get you comfortable again.

Gum Health & Screenings
Healthy gums are just as important as healthy teeth. We check for early signs of gum disease at every exam and provide oral cancer screenings as part of routine care. Catching these issues early makes treatment simpler and helps protect your overall health, not just your smile.
