General Dentistry

Nearly 65% of all dental procedures are diagnostic or preventative, and general dentistry focuses on oral disease prevention by emphasizing oral health and hygiene. General dentists provide dental care to patients of all ages.

Unlike dental specialists, who focus on a specific aspect of dentistry, general dentists offer numerous services vital to your continued dental health. Some of these services are preventative, such as regular exams and professional teeth cleanings

a>, while other services restore dental health and appearance. These include removing tooth decay and addressing dental trauma, such as a broken tooth.

However, many general dentists can also help you get the sparkling smile you’ve always wanted with various cosmetic procedures.

At a routine general dentistry visit, you will likely experience the following:

  • A thorough examination of your mouth (including teeth, gums, and other structures)
  • A professional cleaning
  • A discussion about your dental and overall health
  • If your exam reveals tooth decay, you will probably also have a filling in the affected tooth

Composite Fillings

If your teeth are suffering from minor fissures, cracks or pockets of decay, composite fillings can help restore your smile. Dr. Fakhimi carefully matches the fillings to the color of your teeth for a natural and beautiful result. After eliminating the unwanted debris, cleaning the tooth and applying the composite filling, he will then polish and refine the final product so your bite feels comfortable.

Dental Sealants

A strong healthy smile is one that is free from vulnerability to infection and decay. Dental sealants painlessly coat the ridges and troughs in the teeth that are so susceptible to disease, sealing your teeth against a host of future costly problems. A dental sealant can be applied to a child’s teeth as soon as they come in, however, teens and adults can also benefit from this all-important treatment.

Fluoride Treatment

In small amounts, fluoride can help prevent cavities from forming, as well as repair those teeth that are merely on the verge of decay. The fluoride that can help fortify the tooth’s enamel may be delivered through toothpaste, a topical treatment, or through food and drinks containing fluoride. A professional application is ideal for combatting the cavities that form as a result of poor genes, poor dental hygiene, poor diet, or bacteria.
