General Dentistry

General dentistry is the overall maintenance of your oral hygiene and the health of your teeth. General dentists prevent, evaluate, diagnose, and treat diseases of the oral cavity, as well as maintain the function and appearance of the teeth. Many oral diseases and abnormalities can indicate other diseases. A general dentist may refer patients to their physician or a specialist for further evaluation, or vice versa for treatment.

General dentists provide services including but not limited to the following:

Oral Prophylaxis

This is also called professional teeth cleaning. Oral prophylaxis is the basic step to making your teeth healthy. This procedure removes stuck elements in between your teeth that can’t be accomplished by normal tooth brushing. To keep your teeth healthy and avoid deterioration, you must undergo oral prophylaxis twice a year or every six months. For further protection and maintenance, we will also recommend at-home oral hygiene ways and preventive treatments as needed.

Wisdom Tooth/Teeth

Having a wisdom tooth doesn’t automatically mean that you should go to your dentist and have it removed. We at Dental Care Centre, always make it a point to study your case first, before recommending any extraction.

Oral Surgery Or Extraction

Unrestorable teeth are usually the ones being extracted. These teeth couldn’t be restored because of a number of causes like tooth decay, periodontal disease, dental trauma or because they are impacted. Some are extracted to create space when teeth become too crowded.

Root Canal Treatment

This procedure treats infection formed at the root canal system of the mouth. This usually involves two or more visits to your dentist where the infected pulp is removed and the root canal cleaned and filled.

White Fillings

A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be cleaned and then filled with a composite filling.
