What is general dentistry?

A general dentist provides services related to the general maintenance of oral hygiene and tooth health. Unlike specialists, who may focus exclusively on periodontal treatment or orthodontics, general dentists help care for your overall oral health.

At Capitol Premier Dental Group, the team’s mantra is “Smiles worth sharing,” because they believe high-quality oral health care can positively affect your life by addressing your dental needs.

What does general dentistry include?

The most popular general dentistry services at Capitol Premier Dental Group are:

Preventive services
Preventive care helps maintain your oral health. Along with regular brushing and flossing, you can care for your smile by scheduling routine teeth cleanings and dental exams. Dental sealants and fluoride treatments can also help strengthen your teeth. 

Along with preventing dental disease, these visits serve as an opportunity for your dentist to offer oral health care tips that can improve your smile.

Restorative treatments
Restorative dentistry corrects functional concerns in your teeth. Chips, cracks, and missing teeth can alter your bite and lead to oral health problems, like tooth decay and gum disease. Addressing these problems with crowns, bridges, or root canal therapy can help you chew better and prevent additional concerns.

Patient education
Your oral health isn’t exclusive to your mouth. Many dental concerns — like tooth decay and gum disease — can lead to infection without proper care. Infectious bacteria can travel through your bloodstream, leading to complications from chronic health conditions like diabetes. Educational information, such as nutritional counseling, can reduce your risk of oral infection.

The team also offers aromatherapy for patients struggling with dental anxiety, pain, or stress. They believe it’s important to help support the emotional well-being and confidence of their patients to truly deliver the best care for them. 

When should I see a general dentist?

You should schedule an appointment with the team at least twice a year for routine teeth cleanings. If you’re interested in cosmetic or restorative treatments, your dentist can create a treatment plan that addresses your needs.
