What Does General Dentistry Encompass?
General dentistry is the cornerstone of a beautiful smile, encompassing a wide array of essential services designed to maintain and improve oral health. It includes:
- Routine check-ups and cleanings to prevent cavities and gum disease.
- Restorative procedures like fillings, crowns, and bridges to repair damaged teeth.
- Patient education on oral hygiene practices to work as a team to keep you healthy.
- Early detection of potential issues through x-rays and exams.
- Cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening to enhance your smile.
At Fennel Yoxthimer and Associates, we believe in empowering our patients with knowledge and providing comprehensive care to ensure optimal oral health.
The Importance of Routine Exams
Regular check-ups allow dentists to detect and address problems early before they escalate into more severe and costly conditions. During these exams, dentists perform thorough cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup, conduct visual inspections for signs of decay or gum disease, and may take x-rays to identify hidden issues. Additionally, these visits provide an opportunity for:
- Oral cancer screening
- Assessment for orthodontic treatments
- Personalized advice on proper oral hygiene practices
By consistently attending routine dental exams, patients can significantly reduce their risk of developing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems, ultimately leading to better overall health and potentially saving both time and money in the long run.
Addressing Problems
At Fennel Yoxthimer and Associates, we are here to help when a minor toothache becomes a larger problem. Our essential treatments include:
- Cavities: Treated by removing decayed material and filling the tooth with composite material.
- Crowns: Used to cover and protect a severely damaged or weakened tooth.
- Bridges: Replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants.
These treatments not only alleviate pain and discomfort but also prevent further deterioration of oral health, maintain proper bite alignment, and restore the aesthetics of a patient’s smile.
Give Your Smile a Boost
Beyond essential general dentistry treatments, teeth whitening offers a huge boost to your smile, enhancing both its appearance and your confidence. This procedure effectively removes stains and discoloration caused by factors like coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and aging, revealing a brighter, more radiant smile. Professional teeth whitening, whether performed in-office at Fennel Yoxthimer and Associates or through custom take-home kits, ensures safe and effective results, often lightening teeth by several shades in a short period.
