General Dentistry

What is General Dentistry?

As general dentists, our primary focus is the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of various dental conditions. General dentistry encompasses numerous aspects of oral care, including regular check-ups, cleanings, fillings, and guidance on maintaining good oral hygiene. We aim to prevent dental issues before they become serious problems, ensuring you and your family achieve optimal oral health.

Importance of General Dental Care

Regular general dental care is essential to keeping your teeth and gums healthy. You can help prevent common issues such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay by scheduling routine check-ups and cleanings. Early detection and treatment of dental problems can save you time, effort, and discomfort in the long run. Our friendly and knowledgeable team is here to support you in maintaining a beautiful, healthy smile.

Services We Offer

At Drs. Harrison, Tucker, & Teel Family Dentistry, we provide a full spectrum of general dental services to meet all your oral health needs. Here are just a few of the services we offer:

Routine Check-Ups

Regular dental checkups are the cornerstone of preventive care. During your visit, our general dentists will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and mouth. We’ll identify potential issues and create a personalized treatment plan to address your needs.

Professional Cleanings

Even with excellent at-home oral hygiene, professional cleanings are crucial for maintaining a healthy mouth. Our dental hygienists will remove plaque and tartar build-up that brushing and flossing alone can’t reach. You’ll leave our office with a fresh, clean feeling and a brighter smile.

Fillings

Cavities are one of the most common dental issues, but our general dentists are skilled at providing painless and effective fillings. We use high-quality materials to restore the appearance and function of your tooth, ensuring a seamless and long-lasting result.

Sealants and Fluoride Treatments

Preventive measures like sealants and fluoride treatments are especially beneficial for children. Sealants provide a protective barrier on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, preventing decay. Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to cavities. These treatments are quick and painless and can significantly reduce the risk of dental problems down the road.

Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, can lead to serious oral health issues if left untreated. Our general dental care includes expert treatment for gum disease, ranging from deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) to more advanced procedures. We work closely with you to manage and treat gum disease, preserving the health of your gums and teeth.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Early detection is crucial when it comes to oral cancer. Our general dentists will perform a comprehensive oral cancer screening during your routine check-up to identify any suspicious lesions or abnormalities. If any issues are found, we will guide you through the next steps for further evaluation and treatment.

Patient Education and Support

At Drs. Harrison, Tucker, & Teel Family Dentistry, we believe in empowering our patients through education. We take the time to explain your dental condition and treatment options clearly, so you can make informed decisions about your oral health. Our team is always available to answer any questions and provide guidance on proper oral hygiene practices.
