General dentistry
The everyday work: the cavity that needs filling, the tooth that needs a crown, the molar that can no longer be saved, the check-up that confirms all is well. It has no glamorous name, but it is what keeps a mouth working for decades.
When to come in
- You feel a hole, a sharp edge, or a change in the shape of a tooth.
- A tooth fractured or a filling came out.
- Sensitivity to cold or sweet in one specific spot.
- It has simply been a long time since your last check-up.
What you should know
When several things need attention, not all of them are urgent and they do not all have to be done in the same month. An honest plan sorts them by priority and tells you what can wait. Be wary of a quote that treats everything as urgent.
How the visit goes
Full examination
The whole mouth is examined and any necessary X-rays are taken.
What we see and your options
Shown on screen, with the alternatives explained — including waiting, when that is reasonable.
Plan and quote
In writing, in the order that makes sense. You decide without pressure.
Common questions
Do white fillings last less than silver ones?
Modern composites perform well in most cases. Durability depends more on the size of the restoration, your bite and your hygiene than on the material itself.
When is a crown needed instead of a filling?
When little healthy tooth remains. A large restoration on a weakened tooth tends to fracture; a crown wraps it and spreads the force of the bite.
Will my wisdom teeth be removed?
Not necessarily. They are extracted when they cause problems, not as a matter of routine. The X-ray and their position decide.
Other treatments
Dental cleaning
Scaling and polishing. The routine visit — and the one that catches what doesn't hurt yet.
Root canal
Saves a tooth with a damaged nerve instead of extracting it.
Dental implants
Replaces a missing tooth with its own root, so nothing moves when you chew.
Smile design
Whitening, veneers and composite work — planned before any tooth is touched.
