All About General Dentistry
How Will A General Dentist Help Me?
What general dentistry services do we provide?
Our general dentist services include:
Why is General Dentistry important?
We see our role as a general dentist as one of the key services we offer. We focus on preventative dentistry and recommend six-monthly check-ups to monitor and maintain our patient’s dental health. This helps us stay ahead of any dental problems before they start to become more serious. We would rather help you avoid issues with your oral health than treat them.
Keep It Clean with Regular Teeth Cleaning!
One of the most important areas we can help you with is to clean your teeth and keep them healthy. Teeth that have been properly cleaned help to prevent more serious problems in the mouth like cavities and gum disease.
Dental Health And Overall Health
Good general dentist care is often the first step towards a healthy life and often includes oral and maxillofacial procedures to address jaw, mouth, and face abnormalities. There is a strong relationship between healthy teeth and other health factors. We can even detect different forms of mouth cancer while still in the early treatable stages. We can also detect some neurological disorders that manifest in the jaw.
There are even situations where the health of the teeth and gums can reduce the risk of a stroke. Catching these conditions early can only be done by a trained general dentist who knows what to look for.
Children’s Dentistry
General dentists are well-equipped to provide dental care for children, from routine checkups and cleanings to more complex procedures like fillings and extractions. While pediatric dentists specialise in children’s dental care, general dentists can also offer high-quality care for young patients.
Regular dental visits are crucial for children, helping to prevent tooth decay and gum disease and ensuring healthy development of their teeth and gums. General dentists also provide valuable guidance on good oral hygiene practices, helping children establish healthy habits that will last a lifetime.
Restorative Services
Restorative services are a vital component of general dentistry, aimed at restoring the function and appearance of teeth. General dentists offer a range of restorative services, including:
- Dental fillings: Used to fill cavities caused by tooth decay.
- Dental crowns: Employed to repair severely damaged teeth or cover dental implants.
- Dental bridges: Utilised to replace missing teeth.
- Root canal therapy: Administered to treat infected or damaged teeth.
- Dental implants: Used to replace missing teeth.
These restorative services are essential for maintaining the health and functionality of your teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Cosmetic Services
Cosmetic services are an integral part of general dentistry, designed to enhance the appearance of your smile. General dentists provide a variety of cosmetic procedures, including:
- Teeth whitening: A popular treatment to brighten and whiten your teeth.
- Porcelain veneers: Used to cover discoloured or chipped teeth.
- Cosmetic bonding: Employed to repair chipped or cracked teeth.
- Dental crowns: Used to cover dental implants or repair badly damaged teeth.
These cosmetic services are designed to improve the look of your teeth and boost your confidence and self-esteem.
Qualifications and Training
General dentists are highly trained professionals who undergo extensive education to provide top-notch dental care.
Many general dentists also pursue additional training in specialised areas like cosmetic dentistry or oral surgery. To practice, they must meet the stringent requirements of their state’s dental board, including passing written and clinical exams.
